She's a big music fan of course, so her first day here we went to the "Fall Out to Lunch Concert" downtown at the Mesa Art Center. It was a Veteran's day concert. Lots of marching music and free flags :)
We went on a few scenic drives. My mom loved all the cactus here, and the mountains that surround the East Valley. It really is so pretty here!
Jordan stayed home with the kids one afternoon while my mom and I walked around downtown Scottsdale. There is so much to see there, we only got through about 1/4 or less of it in a couple hours.
We also went to an old gold mining town that's about 15 min away from our house. It was really cute and the kids had so much fun running around.
This horse wasn't tied up with the others and was eating from a prickly tree, and there was no wrangler around anywhere so my mom tied him back up. He was a super sweet horse. Calin loved him. Capri was terrified. She has really been loving horses lately. But just the little ones she sees in the stores. So she probably thought this horse was a giant, and got pretty scared. She wouldn't let my mom hold her the rest of our time there. Anytime I would try to pass her off, she would scream. Haha, she thought my mom was going to take her back to the Giant Horse.

We had a wonderful time! At the airport on her way home she moved in the full body scanner, and they had to do a full body pat down. Then they searched her carryon bag for c4 explosives. Turned out to be a box of homemade fudge. HA!
