Trip to Arizona

A little while back we had the oppurtunity to go visit my family in Arizona. I am one of seven children in my family and my two younger brothers were leaving/going on their missions and my older brother and his wife and family and my older sister were all going for a visit. We had a wonderful time hanging out, playing games and enjoying good times together. First off I am proud to say we got an awesome deal on the plain tickets and we flew out of the San Jose Airport; which I have to add is a really nice airport. We flew in to Phoenix without any troubles rented a car and drove the 3.5 hours to Sierra Vista; where my Mom and Dad live. As soon as we got there Claire was off playing with cousins. I think her and her cousin Mariah were outdoors playing pretty much the entire time. She even got to have a little adventure with Mariah and Jason. I was making some dough inside and I hadn't heard or seen the three in quite a while so I went out to check on them. As I got closer to the green house I hear kids crying so I follow the sound and they are all at the end of the yard in the wash (dry creek) without shoes. Claire and Jason were crying "we are lost forever" and Mariah kept on say, "don't worry, Rex (my parents dog) will lead us home". It was pretty funny. The trip was so fun and we are so happy that we decided to go. But I think that people need to start visiting us (hint, hint). Our floor is always open and we live in a pretty awesome location.
