Haley Trip to Arizona - May 2001

In May of 2001 the Haley family traveled to Arizona for a visit. This was before Samantha was born (they made another trip a couple years later and I will post that at another time). During their visit, we went to Mexico and got a few cheap gifts for the kids, did some swimming and also drove over to Tombstone (about 20 minutes from Sierra Vista). We went to watch one of the gun-fight shows. Once Veronica realized what they were going to do, she did not like that idea at all. We tried to explain to her that it was just pretend, but she still did not want anyone fighting or shooting, even if they were pretending! We were able to stay and watch the show, then took the kids down to meet a couple of the actors. We had a great time, as I always do when family comes for a visit!

Leaving the Tennesee Knoxville Mission and Returning Home

You are all probably tired of the mission posts and this is the last post regarding my mission. On June 11, 1998 I along with the other missionaries who were going home arrived at the Mission Home in the afternoon. We had dinner there with President and Sister Benson. In the morning of June 12th we went to the airport in Knoxville and flew to our various destinations. Brenda had just graduated from the LDS Business College, so I flew into the Salt Lake City Airport. Here are some photos from the Mission Home, Knoxville Airport and Salt Lake Airport.

Shortly after getting back, Neal and I dug out the old cherry tree.
