Braving the snowstorm...in Tucson???

We headed out of town for a long weekend to Tucson, Arizona so Paxton could meet his great grandparents and lots of uncles, aunts and cousins!!  It was a mini Doyle Reunion with 5 out of 7 families representing!  The 2 hour flight turned into 4 1/2 hours when an unexpected snow storm blanketed the desert.  We circled for a while, wait for the storm to pass but then had to be diverted to Phoenix to refuel.  We made it to Tucson safely and enjoyed the remainder of the snow storm from the ground.  We got about 3 inches total, but most of it melted by morning.  The Wimberly clan bunked up with Aunt Kathy (the absolute hostess with the mostest!).  She made it a very easy trip for us, traveling with 2 kids. The days were spent enjoying the fresh air, hanging out with family, a little sight seeing, shopping and just relaxing!  Each evening we had dinner at a different house with the entire crew! Despite having a cold and getting 2 teeth, Paxton did great on his first trip.  Ashlyn ended up getting sick too the day before we headed home but thankfully the return flight was much smoother!  Here are lots of pictures from our trip!
