You know you’re going to eat a lot at Thanksgiving, right? So what better way to start the day than to go out and do a little hiking? Well, that’s what we did during our visit to Phoenix at Thanksgiving. Roxanne and Bob took us out to Pinnacle Peak north of town. On the trail, we learned from conversations overheard and later confirmed by reliable sources that this is a regular Thanksgiving tradition for many families in the Phoenix area.
Roxanne and Bob are doing some remodeling of the home they purchased in Paradise Valley, and during our visit we also played croquet on the newly resurrected back lawn. Davis also has some back lawn bounce-back equipment (imagine a vertical trampoline) so that he can practice lacrosse fundamentals.
Bob cooked up a storm while we were there – breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We watched football, took in a movie (“Skyfall”), played Catch Phrase, tried out an Italian restaurant near their home, and generally got our share of goofing off.
