Oh What a Trip (to AZ)

Here we are at the airport, ready to headout.
I can't believe I actually got Rog to smile for a selfie :)

The clouds going down were absolutely STUNNING

Practicing, with Grandma Ben looking on.
Lip chewing - it's what she does (haha)

Two Pooper Scoopers.........
She conned me into doing the "worst" part of the yard !

Beautiful morning
The weather was just right - not too hot !

Relaxing with Zoe

Grandma tried out Bren's upside down machine for spine decompression.

Bren - we wouldn't be here if it wasn't your support and encouragement of Camryn.
THANK YOU !!

Manda and Cam

She smiles...........She moves........... She plays awesome !!

We would go up to the front when she played.

They also had TV's set up, and we were able to watch all performances from our table.

John and Shirlee Lannefeld were able to come and watch.  They are from Morgan, but down in Gilbert at their condo this time of year.  Sure appreciate the support !!!

It was a GREAT TIME !!

The whole School of Rock crew!

Trip to Arizona to see our girl perform !!

Off we headed - Friday morning about 10:30 am.
Grandma Ben went with us.

I captured a picture of the Grand Canyon !
When we arrived, we were shuttled to the RENTAL CAR PLACE - amazing !!
Our ride was a beautiful Ford Fusion (Hybrid) - of course, we hicks from Morgan didn't know anything about how to start it (push button), open the trunk,  gas tank, etc............  we soon learned !!

Cam and Grandpa

We sat around and relaxed Friday afternoon. 

Nick LOVED Grandma Ben.
She was a sport putting up with him.
Maybe we'll get her talked into a doggie (wink wink)

I didn't get pics of our Friday night meal from Papa Murphey's - but Mitch and Therese and Elle came over, and we had an enjoyable meal, and talked and relaxed.   This picture is of Saturday morning BREAKFAST -  Thanks Manda, it was amazing....... not quite as amazing as Bren's hair............ HAHAHA

Saturday morning, Cam was nervous for her concert..........but we kept her distracted I think, and she didn't have a melt down, thank goodness (haha)

FOUR Generation picture
LOVE THESE PEEPS !!!
(No, Manda doesn't have just one leg.........)

Some of Bren's many guitars in his collection..........

And the music room !!!

They are so good together.

Me with my Macro Coach !!
I was able to meet up with Laurel Driggs (finally).
She's been coaching me since last April..
We had lunch, and got to know each other a little better. 

Me and Roger D.
(I'll save pics/video from Cam's performance for  another post)

Playing a TUNE

Grandpa and Grandma D came over specifically to hear Cam play on her bass.
She performed HER PART (bass) from three different Led Zeppelin songs.
Ramble On
Dazed and Confused
Fool in the Rain
Her left fingers were FLYIN' over the strings on the top of the bass, while her right fingers were strumming the strings below.  She sure has a talent, and we can hardly wait to go down in a week and a half to see her perform on stage LIVE !!  Grandma Ben is going with us !
