1st Day

We decided Sunday evening that we wanted to go to AZ, Scott checked at work Monday and then we left at 4:00am Tuesday. We carried our sleeping kids to the rental car. (remember the deer incident, we still had the rental with unlimited miles) So thankful not to put the miles on our car.

I think Scooter drove 99% of the trip. Love him!!

Hello St. Louis. "Look kids, big arch."

1st stop, somewhere in Missouri.

"Go to sleep kids, then when you wake up I promise we'll be there!" They slept for 11 hours and when they woke up we were in FLAGSTAFF!!!

We arrived in Phoenix at 5:00am so what else would the Murray Family do but find a splash pad?So fun!! On to breakfast at Denny's right by Scott's parents house. (we were killing time) At a couple minutes after 7 was when we knocked on the door. So happy!!


We spent the morning with Tom and Karen then we headed out to find/surprise our friends! We found Mikele at the swimming pool and Heather in her house sitting on the floor in the play room!
All the kids loved seeing each other!
Next it was time to SWIM!!!! Macker loved Heather!
Sissy and Kater jumped their little hearts out!
You think Sissy was happy?!?!
Macker turned into a fish!
Adam tossed Sis!
Macker wanted to wear goggles, I'm just not sure he totally 'got it'.
Popsicles time! Buddie since birth!
These girls love each other!
Back to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner, fun and some serious rest!

Awesome! I wish my kids would listen when I tell them to go to sleep on a road trip.

I'm never going to apologize for the deer again. ;) So obvious God provided the rental out of that. LOVE IT ALL! Keep the pictures coming. I can't stop smiling!!!

Um, my kids don't sleep like that either... shoot.

I'm so glad that you knew exactly where we would be. That's friendship. Also, driving 28 hours is friendship... so, I'm pretty sure we're buddies.
