Arizona!

Brent called us up to let us know that the Chargers were playing a Monday night against the AZ Cardinals this year.  We can't resist a road trip to see family and watch the Chargers.  We all dropped our kids off with family (I almost couldn't leave Ike, but I did it, and it turned out great) Jed, Shannon, Blake, Me, and Ben headed down to Cedar City Saturday night.  Sunday morning we drove  to the Grand Canyon... which way more amazing than I pictured.  It was a first time being there for all of us.  The first 25 minutes were spent in the visitors center because of the hail, but then it let up enough for us to go out.  

We got to Brent and Shelley's house that evening. We said hi, ate dinner, then Ben and I drove 40 minutes to Gilbert to see Fred, Heather, and kids.

Monday was so nice and relaxing hanging out with my siblings.  I seriously didn't know what to do without kids to look after.   Brent and Shelley showed us around the Thunderbird campus,  we went shopping, ate dinner, and then went to the game.  It was sad because the Chargers lost, but it was still so much fun.  It rained like crazy the whole time we were there.  

Blake had to go into work on Tuesday, so he flew home that morning.  So it was just us four driving home.  Blake got home before we even left that morning, which made our drive seem even longer.  Since the heavy rains eroded the freeway in LasVegas, we took a very scenic route home.  

We had a blast on this trip... we have a lot of great memories with everyone!

just a little wet from the rain :)

It was a little foggy, but we still got a pretty good view.

Blake barely got us in the picture :)

Blake, being awesome by the tree
