Arizona to see Great Grandma Nall and the rest of the family

A few weekends ago we went to Arizona to have a little mini family reunion.  Mike's Grandma Nall is 97 years old so we try to get out to see her whenever we can.  I hope that I can reach that age and have such energy and awareness.  We also got to meet with Mike's cousins and Aunt from Iowa.  The girls really opened up and especially with Mike's cousin Sheri.
Sheri with Emma and Meilynn.  She bought them their first PEZ dispensers and taught them how to use them. Mike's Aunt Dianna with the Emma and Meilynn. Grandma Nall with the girls.  Doesn't she look great for 97.   Aunt Dianna is her daughter. Grandma Nall with Daddy and Emma and her pumpkin PEZ dispenser Mike's cousin Deanna with  Mike and Meilynn
It was a great little family reunion.  The girls were great.  The only bad experience was a trip to the Organ Stop Pizza.  It is this huge pizza parlor with this Organ that takes up one whole wall of the huge two story building.  A man plays the organ with requests from the audience.  There are also some effects with puppets etc.  Emma was terrified.  If you remember she is afraid of mannequins, puppets, Halloween things etc.  So she sat on my lap the entire time with her head buried in my chest.  She didn't even eat any pizza!
The girls are really racking up the airline miles.  I am starting to lose track of their flights.  Emma has flow home from China.  Then to Italy twice, to China to get Meilynn, Phoenix twice.  San Fransisco, and to Park City Utah.  Meilynn has flown home from China to Phoenix once, to San Fransisco twice, and to Italy once.  Not bad!  My first flight was to Hawaii when I was 21!
