Trying to find the Rainbow

Fountain Hills on March 18th Spring Break, saw the rainbow... I'm trying to find the rainbow with a big pot of gold but that won't happen so instead I find my family ....

This is a picture of my 4 grand daughters, Layna, Jenna, Kaitlyn and Sophie.
Such cute blondes!
I guess they were at the river, this is March 19th,
Eric and Becky are in town with their kids for a few days of Spring Break.
We have done a few things the past couple of days but mostly got together.
Missed Kirk in NM working and Bryan and Jon in NYC on tour.

More Inn Pictures

Too many memories!!!!

MEMORIES Guess... what, where, when

OK, so I found these pictures that some of my family may recognize... please leave a comment if you remember this place and a memory you have from there... I have lots.... look at one picture at a time and let me know when you figured it out.....
have fun!

















So as I understand it isn't there anymore and just a memory unless you took pictures. They took it down to make room for more modern stuff. Many a general Authority stayed there during General Conference Weekend. In fact it was next to impossible to get a room during that time.
I went there many times and got a bargain price because of a sweet friend Eileen Boyle who lives in Centerville, Utah, but when she lived in Mesa I was her Counselor in RS. It was with Eileen and Pat Porter that we put on the most fantastic Luau in or backyard.
I went to the INN as I wound up the week at quite a few years of BYU Church Music Conferences and would go to the Temple on Saturday and spend time with her and her family on Sunday and then head home. (via airplane)
Stayed there with Leslie more than once, and one time Debi Curtis joined us after the girls were at BYU for EFY and I was up there for a parent conference for the week.
One time with Bryan, Michelle and Jonathan after the funeral of Michelle's biological father in Utah.
Remembered many a horse and carriage ride, those were the days...
Ok don't be bashful, make a comment!

Carriage rides were the best!

I stayed there!! little Jon

Before Demolition...

Start taking it down at the top...

SO SAD!! Oh, just to be Modern!
Crossroads Mall came down too!
