Time flies when you are having fun!

We stayed in Arizona for ten days.  I was worried that would be too long for Matt and Lori, but Matt said we should have stayed longer, so hopefully we didn't wear out our welcome.  It went by so fast.  Every day just flew by and before we knew it our trip was over.

I thought this was cute when Matt was reading to all the kids.

Wyatt is always good for a laugh!

Lori was so good with Hallee.  She kept her so we could go for a ride in the ranger and also sent Keith and I on a date one day. 

The kids begged to go for a ride in the ranger.  One night me, Matt and Wyatt went.  Wyatt looked a little nervous the whole time, but smiled when Matt let him honk the horn.  When I tried to get him to go again he said, "no mom, I'm scared." We drove over to an area in their neighborhood where a whole bunch of bunnies come out at night.  The kids loved looking at them.

The kids pulled out mattresses, pillows and blankets and all slept in the room together the last night. Lori is so good at stuff like this.  She always does fun things with the kids, even if they will be a pain to clean up!  It was sad to say goodbye.  We loved spending time with them.

The ride home was a little rough.  The kids finally slept which was nice.

Here is Jonah pretending to sleep.  This kid would not sleep to save his life.  He can function on less sleep than the rest of us.  He does reach his limit sometimes though. 

Hallee slept on and off.  She liked sitting up in the car seat. 

We changed it up for her and put her in the infant seat sometimes too.  She prefers sitting up in the car seat. She cried a lot on the way home.  We also added an extra two hours to our drive by missing a turn and not catching it until 50 miles later.  I feel asleep and when I woke up I was confused by the sign that said, "welcome to California."  Poor Keith, he felt so bad.  He drove the whole way there and back.  I really don't like driving.  Anyway, we finally made it home a little after 9 PM.  We were all so happy to be out of the car.  It was definitely worth the drive though.  Thanks for a great vacation Matt and Lori!
