After saying our sweet goodbyes to the Mathews family in St. George, we headed for Mesa, Arizona. Rob's boss, Kayle Neely, has a house there that he and his wife, Becky, don't currently live in. We had fun exploring the house filled with historical relics from the past including a life sized statue of a terracotta soldier from China! Upon seeing it standing as a
sentinel to Kayle's home office Weston asked, "Is he scary?" I loved that I could answer that question with a, "Nope." That was so much easier than using persuasion after a statement like, "He is scary." Weston being the wonderful child that he is trusted me and wasn't in the least bit scared. This was an extraordinary improvement from the child whose entire body would shudder and the mouth part of his body would emit loud wailing noises when we'd see scary monsters around Halloween at Sam's Club. He has since conquered those fears and made peace with the fact that some things aren't what they seem.
During our stay we did some night swimming with Dad after he came home from work,
barbecued outside, ate raspberry and mango sorbet, and watched a movie or two.
The kids and I went to Aunt Shelly's house to hang out with Aunt Shelly, Aubrey, Olivia, and Lucy while Rob was at work. We swam in her diving pool and had a ball. I love summertime and all the fun it has to offer!
