They all know her name

It seemed that all the ducks, geese, coots in Arizona knew Alley was visiting and willing to feed them yummy cheerios.

Of course the pigeons were well fed too.

Big sister/ Little Helper

Alley was good about holding Claire's hand and helping her on our trip and in the airport.

Here we had just picked some oranges and Richard and Clarice Kadry's place in Scottsdale.

I see you

Alley got binoculars from Uncle Gregg during the trip.

Grandpa's waterfalls

Even though it was 65, sometimes 70 degrees - that didn't stop Alley and Claire from using the pool at Grandpa's condo. Alley really could swim by herself with a life jacket on. Of course Mom had to get into the pool that was a little chilly, to help Claire still.

Uncle Gregg's birthday

Alley is always excited about cake. The first night in Arizona, we celebrated Gregg's birthday and had a late Christmas with Grandpa Alley.

Arizona

Alley, Claire and I met Uncle Gregg for his birthday in Arizona to visit Granpa Alley. Here is one of the many duck feeding outings.
