Visit to Arizona
Hey so we just back from Arizona to visit Terra and Tim. It was so nice to see them and enjoy some somewhat warmer weather. We left Wednesday (11th) night after we found out Jon was starting his new job up at HAFB on Tuesday (17th). (Originally we planned to leave Monday-16th and come back Saturday- 21st, but everything changed when Jon went in and found he could start on the 17th!!! Which we were really happy about.) Anyway...
So we left Wednesday night at about 8:30 p.m., when Jon finished scouts. We drove all night and arrived about 8 the next morning. This was nice for the kiddos because they slept through a greater part of the drive. They did wake up at 1 a.m. -ish when we had to stop to fill up gas and feed Sarah. Ari went back to sleep about 3 a.m., but Adam didn't go back to sleep until close to 5 a.m. We did get to cross the Hoover Dam and there was no traffic in the middle of the night, go figure. :P
Thursday, we slept on and off most of the day. Terra and I took the kids for a walk to find the pool so that Daddy and Tim could take them swimming later. The weather was nice, it was in the 60's. They went swimming while dinner was cooking. We played games and went to bed. (Jon helped Tim study for his test...I slept through most of that.)
Friday, we took the kids to the park and let them run and play outside. It was awesome! They made a new friend on the playground. Now funny story: Ari is my little flirt. So she fell and skinned her knee on the way to the park. While they were playing she had to show their new friend her knee. Then she made him kiss it better! Gotta watch that girl! Anyway, it was kinda funny. The kids and Jon and Tim went swimming again in the evening while dinner was cooking. And we played games and went to bed.
Saturday-Valentine's Day, made hearts and hung them all over Terra and Tim's door. We also hung them on the neighbor's door. We went and played outside, vollyeball and frisbee. We also went swimming and played games. (We played Pandemic most the time, but we also played the Pirates of the Carribean Dice game and they taught us a new game with the Rook cards called 7 Hands.)
Sunday we went to church and then played games with the kids and took some pictures. We played games and packed up so we could leave in the morning.
We drove back all day Monday (President's Day) The kids got SO sick of the car, Jon and I did too.
All in all it was a FANTASTIC little trip. We LOVED seeing Tim and Terra. Thanks for letting us come down and crash your place. :) We love you!
Now...very important, pictures:
