Arizona

After Utah we drove to Arizona to see the Gran family! It had been so long, way too long since we had seen them. With us recovering from being sick and them getting sick we kept things very low key. It was actually perfect and we were able to spend to quality time together. 

 Boston trying to do his own hair. He and Ryan are a couple weeks apart and it was fun to see their differences. Ryan is definitely the fourth child and is much more independent. Where as Boston is definitely the first. Still wants me to dress him, wipe him, you name. It was fun to see him want to do more things independently. Too bad it didn't last. 

 While we were there we went and had lunch with the older kids at school. They are probably the best kids there ever were. They were so excited to have their friends meet them and sweet Ashley grabbed Boston's had and walked him out to recess to play with her. I love that she didn't think it wasn't "cool" to do that. 

 These two boys sure had fun together. Ryan can maneuver the ipad like nobodies business. Boston had a new favorite game by the time we left. 

 Thanks to Grandma Wilson these boys got to sport matching jammies and they were quite happy about it!

 Aw together at last!

 Hearing these girls rock out to Taylor Swift was definitely a highlight of the trip! They can sing!

 One night we went on a walk to get ice cream. Clearly the kids loved it! I thought I would share a cone with Carter, but apparently he doesn't share anymore....especially ice cream.

 We also enjoyed some shopping, late night games and talking, gymnastics classes, and getting to see more family. It was so much fun to catch up. I am more than excited that we only live five hours from them. Never again will the Garn's and Wilson's go four years without seeing each other. 

I was getting pretty anxious to see Trav and feel settled since it had been a while. We got on the road and out in the middle of the AZ dessert there was a huge accident and the highway was closed down for about two hours. Thank goodness it wasn't too hot out. The boys didn't seem to mind at all. They could have sat there and thrown rocks all day. It turned the five hour drive into a eight hour drive since we got stuck is more traffic closer to home.
