Payson Getaway

Last weekend, we were invited to visit friends in Payson, staying at their comfortable and roomy home. It is always delightful to visit with Bev and Craig Douwstra. They are wonderful hosts, making everyone feel welcome and at home!
Their son Jeremy also visited that weekend with his cute little girls, Kylie and Emily. We met our friends, Bev & Craig, Janie & Lee Fucci, for breakfast at The Beeline Cafe, and shopped at the Farmer's Market afterwards. In the afternoon while the men enjoyed naps, sports and John Wayne westerns on TV, we girls headed to Pine to check out the cute shops there.
Saturday night is the traditional summer "concert in the park"! Everyone brings their lawn chairs, snacks and enjoys a live band concert in the cool mountain air under the stars! Another couple joined us: Lou and Tina Smotek, seated on either side of Janie & Lee in this photo. Here the guys are admiring the antics of Kylie and Emily! These three couples are all valley homeowners. However, during the summer, Payson is where you'll find them on the weekends!
On Sunday morning, Bev fixed a wonderful breakfast, including pancakes, bacon and fresh fruit! No weekend in Payson is complete without a trip to WalMart and the DollarTree store! Always looking for a bargain! Thanks again Bev & Craig, for a great Payson getaway weekend!
