A picnic at the park was Isabelle's one request. Charlie, Janet and Izzie rode bikes....
....while Anne, Grandma, Grandpa, Scott and Janelle had a long visit......
.....of course, Elizabeth read her books!
We all went to the Tucson rodeo. (A first for Janelle.) We all enjoyed the crazy fun, although it was a HOT day. (Close to 90 degrees.) Earlier that day we went to Kartchner Caverns. (No cameras allowed.) They were amazing!
Dan's family came down for the rodeo and pizza at our home. It's always great to see the cousins.
Grandpa Gordon gave us a country western concert. Charlie plays the air guitar.
Every night Grandma read Isabelle her bedtime stories.
We saved the best for last. Tuesday night both Janet and Elizabeth had concerts. Janet's Jazz Band was fantastic. Janet just wailed out her solo.
Elizabeth's Steel Band concert was awesome. Elizabeth had two solos. If you have never seen a steel band concert, you are missing out. It's hard to hold still. It just makes you want to dance. (If you would like to hear a steel band play...go to the playlist at the bottom of the page and click on #1 Pan in A Minor. Elizabeth's band has played this song.)Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for coming! We had so much fun. Come again soon!

Every year I think about going to the rodeo, but never do... maybe next year will be the year? You'll have to let me know what you thought of it.
One of these years we are going to go to the rodeo. I loved going to them when I was a kid yet I've only taken my kids to one about six years ago. What great looking kids you have! There are some really good pictures there. How fun to have Grandma and Grandpa be able to come and see the concerts and play. The must be so proud of everyone. I didn't know Elizabeth played in a steel band. That would be exciting to see.
SO much talent in just one family. it was so great to see the Toller family once again. Thanks for making the trip!
