AZ trip

We loved getting to see our family in Arizona, unfortunately our car gave us some problems so it was in the repair shop most of the trip. It started to overheat on the way home from the Diamondbacks game on Tuesday night, luckily Wyatt was able to get out of downtown Phoenix and made it to Tempe. There in Tempe the kids were up close and personal with several homeless people. The kids were VERY scared. Wyatt was with his mom and jonny and 2 of their cousins. There we had to car towed to east Mesa. So Tiff and I drove to Tempe to pick them up. When we got there Jonny was shaking and just held on to me, he was saying how scared he was. We had it towed to a mechanic the next morning. Luckily we were able to use my Brother in laws car while ours was at the shop. All in All we were with out our car from Tuesday night till Friday evening. It was such a pain but luckily we were blessed to have had it happen in the city and NOT in the middle of the desert. We were also blessed that we were able to use a car and we were not without a car for the week. Unfortunately not able to make it down to Safford to see my family. We were very sad and tears were shed but it could have been worse. Luckily we were safe and it was just an inconvenience. On our way back home to Utah the kids were asking when we were going to Safford to see Grandma and Grandpa Smith, they were all very sad and crying when we told them that we couldn't make it because of the car problems. It could have been worse so I am grateful that we were safe and the car was fixed for the long drive back home.
