Emma's basketball season came to an end in early February.
February 10th: Abby had a choir concert. This will be her last year of choir. With being in DLI (Dual Language Immersion) she is already pretty limited on her electives and, right now, choir takes up all of her electives slots. She wants to try other things next year.
While we were at the choir concert, Emma was at home making her own sushi!
February 13th: When you have a major knot in your hair (somehow she got her wet hair wrapped around a comb) and mom and dad could not get it out, it's a good thing we know a really good hair stylist. It took Bree 45 minutes, but she got it out!
February 14th: This morning we flew to Arizona to visit Andy's mom and my mom and Pete. We had a pretty early flight and, at one point, there was nobody else around us.
We didn't waste any time when we got to sunny Mesa, Arizona. We were off to the Mesa Marketplace! After that, we stopped at a liquor store that had a tasting area. You don't see that in Utah.
Andy's mom stays at a 55+ resort from November through March. It's pretty big, so we made sure to always have a picture of the map, especially when we went out for walks.
February 15th: There something about starting the day with fresh squeezed orange juice! The oranges came from the local orange trees.
We spent most of the day in Scottsdale. We started in Old Town Scottsdale.
Abby found a new friend.
Then we met some good friends (who used to live in Park City) at the Butterfly Garden. It was so amazing! Butterflies would just land on you. They really liked Emma!
February 16th: Today, we hung out at the resort (where we stayed with Andy's mom) and explored some of the many activities they have. We had never played on official bocci ball courts.
February 17th: Today we drove down to Casa Grande to visit my mom and Pete. They stay at a 55+ resort January and February.
We played mini golf.
We played pickleball,
...followed by a quick swim,
and shuffle board.
February 18th: We had another day of activities around the resort. If you get bored around there, it's your own fault. There is so much to do, and everybody is so nice!
February 19th: Today we went on a beautiful hike to see some petroglyphs.
February 20th: We met up with my mom and Pete and drove to Tortilla Flats today. We had an hour wait for our table at the restaurant, so why not get Prickly Pear gelato first?! It also gave us time to explore the small town.
Inside the restaurant, the walls were completely covered in dollar bills.
February 22nd: While Andy and Emma went skiing at the Canyons, Abby and I went cross country skiing at Willow Creek Park. This was my first time on my skate skis all year!
February 27th: This afternoon, Abby had her final basketball tournament for the Ecker Hill basketball program.
February 28th: Tonight we went to a Utah Jazz game! It was Bear's birthday (the Utah Jazz mascot) so a lot of other mascots from other NBA teams were there to help celebrate.
