We had a fun time in Arizona visiting family and friends. The kids swam from breakfast until after dinner everyday.
Having 8 days was still not enough time to see everyone and have time to relax. It was still nice to have a change of daily routine and enjoy some family time together.
We got lucky and was able to have Nana and Papa take all 5 kids for one night. We took that opportunity to go out and have a late night with some great friends and enjoy catching up. I enjoyed sleeping in the next morning but hubby got up before the sun and went out and took some pictures during the sunrise!!
The Mesa and Gilbert Valley and surrounding area is changing so fast. My hubby's favorite area is the Beeline Highway. Many changes are starting to happen out there so he took some pictures before the area is changed forever.
He converted a few to B&W and I think they look perfect that way!! Enjoy and for more wonderful B&W see Lisa's blog.

Great B&W photos of Arizona! Really cool!
Wow! I love those AZ black and white shots. I live in Gilbert! Yes it is bitter sweet to see these changes happening. I just discovered your blog reading a post about a Matilda Jane purchase on another blog. Man would I have loved to have been able to have been the one to make that purchase for my little Chinese Princess! (Always a sucker for MJ and boutique clothing!)We came home from China with our daughter this past November. She is 18 months old and a total joy to our lives. I love your blog and am so glad I found it. Can't wait to follow you back to China to bring home your other daughter! Maybe next time your in Arizona we'll bump in to eachother!
