New Years Day, 2013

I had to laugh, Paige said today she could hardly believe it was 2013 & that was incredible for anyone born in 1999.  My reply was just think about anyone born in 1947, LOL.  It was pretty funny anyway.
  Spent some time looking for options on activities for the last couple of days the family are here.  Bill was interested in go-karts, but the indoor tracks rent electric motor cars that will do 45mph and you need a valid driving license to rent.  They have a version for juniors, but even those riders have to be 4ft 6in, leaving the shorter ones to be left out. 
  Slow start today, but we all went to Ihop for lupper, half way between lunch & supper.

  After went to old town in Scottsdale, where Brennan saw a        fer-frickin-ari; or what some of you may call a Ferrari.  We really laughed at that, but he has really been impressed with the cars in the area.  Bill wanted to look in on a couple of the pawn shops to see what they had for sale [probably because of the popular TV shows about them], but unfortunately they were all closed today.

  After mooching around the shops for the afternoon, we made our way back to Mesa.  Marg was worried they hadn't been to one of her favorite shops,  Kohls, so a brief stop and then to supper at the Village Inn.

 Brennan had one of the biggest burgers I have ever seen while Paige tried the pumpkin pie.  I had earlier been telling them about free pie night on Wednesdays & how the pies were pretty darn good, so I guess she is from the "show me state" - Missouri, LOL! After, she was able to confirm the pie was very good.
  Our group are starting to amass quite a wardrobe.  I think they all want to get things that aren't available at home & they are certainly doing that.
