Our trip to Arizona went well. We left Monday morning and it was POURING rain the whole way!!!! All except about 3 hours in the middle it rained, even in the desert! There were a few things we noticed about Arizona.
#1 - the line between California and Arizona is also the line where the cactus's grow! Weird! The terrain looked the same but as soon as passed into Arizona we started seeing cactus, on the cali. side there weren't any!!!
#2 - Mesa is a lot further away than mapquest says it is. Like 2 hours further.... grrrrrwrwufuid.
#3 - We are praying God never EVER calls us to Arizona! At least not to the Phoenix area! UGLY!
So after a very nice, but short visit with Daniel's grandparents we jumped back in the car for 4 hours on Tuesday to get back to California. On Wednesday we went to Knotts Berry Farm. We had soo much fun. The boys were brave on the first ride, (we kind of tricked them into a roller coaster ride) but that was the last one of the day for Micah. He had fun but he didn't want to do anything even remotely scary after that. Ethan wanted to do that roller coaster again but wouldn't do another one.... despite that fact we had a great day. We felt bad for Ethan because he was 2 inches too tall for some of the rides in the snoopy camp section. Poor guy, so young, but so big. He was a trooper though. We did a lot of "carnival rides" like the bumper cars (3 times) and the little train ride, but we had fun.
We left the park around 6pm and grabbed some dinner to go and after the boys ate they were instantly aspleep. They slept from about 6:30pm to 5:45am this morning. I suppose that is good, but it came too early this morning. It was soo good to be in our own bed last night, after 2 nights in a hotel! Ugh.
Today we make all the craziness of our house a bit more sane. Daniel gets the truck today at 11am and then we begin the packing. We will try to load everything but the mattresses today and then tomorrow we clean all day! We head out early Saturday.
So excited, pray for grace for the boys. They are soo excited, they are a great age because they are mostly oblivious to the sad stuff, but totally excited about the fun stuff. They are sleeping great, except for the early mornings.
Next time we blog will be in Oregon. Thanks for praying for us.
