Tucson is so beautiful! What a fun day we had with cousins and what incredible music from Martha! She played several difficult pieces: Prelude and Fugue in A-flat Major by Johann Sebastian Bach, Grande Valse Brillante, Op, 34 No. 1 by Frederic Chopin, Nocturne, Op. 48 No. 1 also by Chopin and then an interesting song that sounded like a car wreck call Toccato, Op. 15 by Robert Muczynski. It was so fun to listen to the beautiful music and dream. The kids just couldn't get enough of their cousins and wanted to stay longer. We really need to get down there more! The 2 hours would seem much shorter if we didn't have bored, fussy kids though. It was a wonderful, relaxing day and Wes even joined the kids in the pool since Ben could not stay away from it. Dallin

went with Erik to a Seminary party and they had fun there. It was hard to leave!
