Yippee-I-O-Ki-Yay!

We always love going to visit Aaron's parents... even if they do happen to live in the middle of nowhere! The White Mountains in Northern Arizona are growing on us, though. This is our third time visiting in the past year, so that says something. When you drive to a place that is not on the way to anything- then you must really love the people you're visiting! And we do!
  • We LOVED going to this horse ranch and riding their tame, mellow horses. Our boys loved the birds, goats, and the WILD PIG! Zack realized that if he stood right in front of the horses, they would try to eat his hair. He would giggle every time and then move closer so they could get a better bite.
  • Our favorite thing in AZ (besides the parents, of course) is their BATHROOM. They have a humongous 2 person shower, but it could fit more like 5. Not that anyone would want to shower with 4 other people. (I'm just sayin'.) Next to the shower is a dry heat sauna... The boys had fun posing for a few naked shots through the window.
  • One of my favorite memories from the trip was during the drive. I LOVE being stuck in the car with Aaron because we always have the best conversations. This particular road trip stands out in my mind because I HONESTLY thought the sun was following me. Every time I adjusted things or switched positions, it was piercing me in the eyes AGAIN. Little did I know that Aaron was maneuvering the mirrors (electronically) to reflect the sun RIGHT in my face. He was laughing inside just watching me squirm... and it was especially funny for him because I actually thought the sun was in love with me. Of course, when I realized it was HIM the whole time, I cracked up but only after I slugged him. hard.

:) Looks like fun! I think it's funny that Aaron teases you like that, we have seat heaters in our car and Scott flips them on in the middle of summer...

Riding horses looks awesome! Glad you got to do it. Remember when you were supposed to ride horses in Utah and we had a crazy storm?
