We bought a new car. Finally. No more back aches from getting Chloe in and out of a coup. We decided on a 2009 Toyota Camry SE. It is perfect and is just an upgraded bat mobile (that is what I called our black Honda).

Our next step was taking it on a road trip so we headed to Arizona. Tanner had a few days off of work so we took the opportunity to visit family especially since I won't be able to travel much longer. The car was a dream... roomy... smooth... perfect. Chloe even traveled nicely (she watched a couple movies).

We brought a heat wave to Arizona when we arrived. The highs were in the 90's but it wasn't that bad. It was actually nice. I have been craving the heat. Chloe lived outside playing in Nana and Papa's back yard. They have a play set, trampoline, swings, and teeter totter for all the nieces and nephews to play on. We ate at our usual spots including El Charro, Pete's fish and chips, and Bahama bucks. One night the adults went and saw Captain America. Games were played and laughs were abundant. It was a much needed break and none of us got sick! yay! Another highlight was that we got to meet our newest niece, Lucy Jane. She was only a week old so she was tiny and in that sleepy newborn stage... the best stage honestly. I can't believe we won't see Tanner's family until Thanksgiving. I am grateful we were able to find time to make a trip down there.
