Mesa and Gilbert

 

We have wanted to go to the Mesa Easter pageant for some years.  This was the year we made it happen!
Tom joined us for this trip as well as Cami.  
Kevin and Mary Ballard were kind enough to let us stay with them.  We went out on a river cruise for a morning and enjoyed the wonders of God.
It was a beautiful, but HOT, day.  We had temperatures up to 100 while we were there.  
Tom bought a new shirt at Deseret book store and also represented Green Bay at the same time.  
We had to spend an evening with Jason and Laura Roe.  Cami came with us as a graduation gift to spend a long weekend with her best friend Olivia.  They had a great time together.  
I enjoyed our evening with Laura and Jason.  I've missed them.
Ice cream was the treat of the evening.  When we couldn't get prickly pear we went to another spot instead.  
I love seeing the cacti in the desert.  They're majestic in their own way.
While at the pageant we also saw the Stapleys and Browns whom we served with in Nauvoo.  What a great surprise to see Jim and Shelley Brown.  We knew we would see the Stapleys.
The pageant was a wonderful representation of the life of our Savior!  I only wish that the men sitting directly in front of me were a tad bit shorter.  
A lovely long weekend with forever friends!
