Road trip

We headed out on the open road yesterday. Destination: Phoenix. Why? We wanted to see the saguaros. They really are amazing, aren't they? And that drive into Phoenix is lovely, not to mention fun for the driver.

We got the added benefit of going on a day when the temperature hit 113 degrees. So we got to see what it is like to visit a human oven. I mean really, why do people live in Phoenix in the summer? Why do they wear jeans when the temperature is 113 degrees? Why don't they turn themselves into a nocturnal town so that you could actually have a chance of being comfortable while outdoors?
On a more positive note, we got to see cousins. Our visit was short but fun.
The primary reason for our visit was to pick up this beauty. We seem to be quickly outgrowing our minivan. We just couldn't figure out a way to get six car seats in it while still being able to access all six kids. We've been on the prowl for a van just like this for a few months now. We are very excited to have it home. Now, we're ready for the sixth car seat!
