A beautiful hike we took our first full day. (credit for good hike goes to Cathy:)
We went to Tucson, AZ for our family's couple retreat. Most of you might ask, "What's in Tucson, AZ?" SUN! The sun is there and it wasn't in Utah or Oregon or Washington (where we all live). It was such an enjoyable, relaxing trip. We ate, slept in, and went on hikes, all to come back and eat some more. The only thing that would have made it better was if all the family could have been there! unfortunately, four couples had to miss due to other obligations. We are lucky enough in our big family that even with four couples missing we still had 9 couples and my darling sister Geri in attendance.
The resort we stayed was nice and clean. One of the restaurants at the resort allowed us to sit on the patio by the pool and they served us out there. It was so nice and comfortable, with the added bonus we could be as loud as we wanted. That's a huge bonus if you know my family (some of us are louder than others:)
They were good enough to let us use a conference room for our family meeting too.
Mom, Dad and Geri Lynn, or Mom and her subjects.
Second hike was more of a walk, but we saw some cool Indian drawings. Here are the guys looking pretty cool themselves.
Saturday some couples had to get to the airport while others were able to enjoy the beauty of the Tucson temple.
While parents were at the temple in AZ, Cope kids were at the temple in their neck of the woods.
