Family, Fans, and Fair Fun

My lovely parents had the opportunity to come down and join us for a week so that was wonderful! 

One warm Arizona evening, we all decided to go watch a live baseball game! The Arizona fall league plays 6 weeks a year and each team features all the top prospects hoping to get into the MLB. Our game was the Scottsdale Scorpions vs the Mesa Solar Sox

We decided to cheer for the Solar Sox as they had two Toronto Blue Jays prospects and being Canadian...it was a given to cheer for them! Although he was on the Scorpions team, it was also fun to watch Tim Tebow try his hand at professional baseball! After leaving his football career Tebow turned to pro baseball and it was neat to watch a much talked about player take the field! 


It was a great game, and "our" team ended up winning 12-2!


Cool drinks are a must on these HOT sunny days! This is how we take our smoothies to the pool :)

We spent one afternoon at the Arizona State Fair. We had planned on coming to the fair, paying full entry and paying an extra fee on top of that to watch a concert that night. However in true Harper form we found out that we could bring in 4 canned items to the food bank to get in for free, which also then included free admission to the concert!! So needless to say what would have been a $178 day ended up costing only $17.48 - for all 9 of us!! So here we are holding our can filled bags!






The girls had been so looking forward to seeing Scotty McCreery in concert! He is their favourite country singer and it was an absolute must to see him when we realized he'd be in Arizona at the same time we were! 




The concert was such a blast and we had the BEST night! What a talented young musician! 


Every afternoon is spent in the pool 

Relaxing in our "home"



Pickleball is one of our favourite nighttime activities! 

We had such a great time with my parents and are SO happy they were able to join us for some Arizona fun :)
