While we were up in Show Low, we found out that our oldest granddaughter, Hailey was in a volleyball tournament in Peridot. We decided to drive the 2 1/2 hours south to surprise her. Our friends, Gary and Sherry MacFarlane went along with us, as well as our great niece, Cassidy.
The drive took longer than expected, so Hailey wasn't even aware that we were in the stands during the first game. She was too busy concentrating on her serve.
The first game was over when she saw someone "familiar" in the stands and headed straight for...........her second cousin! She hugged Cassidy as Don stood by, dumbfounded! Our friends and daughter Heidi were laughing as Don's mouth dropped open in total surprise. It was one of those Kodak moments.
Don pretended to do his "What am I, chopped liver?" pout and THEN Hailey came over to give him a big hug. After all, Christmas is not that far away now and one ever wants to slight their grandparents when presents are at stake!
After the games, it was time for a few quick pictures and hugs before we had to head back to Show Low and Heidi, Hailey and her volleyball team had to return to Phoenix.
The girls won both of their games and they all had on their "silly" faces as I took their team picture. It was worth the trip just to see the look on Don's face!
