A family visit

This time, we had family come to visit *us*!!!!

Carl's oldest son, Scott, had let us know that he had a business trip to the Phoenix area scheduled in October, and asked if we might be able to host him at the "Casa" -- we were excited to be able to have our first guest for this season (daughter Kim and her two girls had come in the spring, so they were actually our first Casa visitors).

One evening, Carl and Scott went out on our e-bikes to tour the community (Venture Out) where we live.

Another evening we went to Organ Stop Pizza for dinner and to hear the organ music -- before we went inside, Carl took Scott to see the huge pipes that can be seen through the windows on the outside of the building.

We sat very near the stage so had a good view of Brett Valliant as he played "the world's largest Wurlitzer Organ"!

After we finished eating, we decided to check out the view from the balcony seats...

We decided that we liked the view from the balcony even better...

... and it seemed that the sound quality was better too!

The organist not only plays the organ, but also controls the lighting -- it is quite an enjoyable show -- and included with the price of your dinner, which is decent pizza at a reasonable price!

We were sad to see Scott leave on Wednesday morning -- it has been great to have family come to visit.

The Casa is currently not booked again until the first weekend in December -- anyone want to come visit during November?!?!? Please let us know!!!
