So some of you might be wondering what's been going on since we arrived in AZ. Well Matt got here 3 weeks before me and for those three weeks he was working, living in the hotel, getting free room service, going to see movies, working and watching basically every episode of 30 Rock on netflix. Oh yeah and he found us an apartment! Since I got here we went to a Diamondbacks game (courtesy of Hyatt we got to sit 7 rows behind home plate), drove to California for his Grandma's 80th birthday party and adopted 10 stray cats that live next door to us in a junk yard. I myself have been keeping busy by driving around town, going to the SUPER walmart! Job searching and doing laundry in the laundry facility....thought those days were over. Oh well I do have a dishwasher again; I forgot how wonderful those were! We're looking forward to house hunting this weekend and going to see Harry Potter! Yes it is hot here; words cannot describe the heat. But we both feel like it's going to be a great place for us! Ok enjoy some pictures.
The Diamondbacks vs. The Marlins. This is an indoor field, they do open the roof when the weather is nice.
Every other summer our family holds a Peterson reunion and on the off summer we usually do something in the East and anyone is invited to come. This year we decided to go on an RV trip with Dad's fam, Aunt Lezlie fam and Uncle Whitney's fam! We did an RV trip ten years ago and went to Palmyra and Niagara Falls. This time we decided to go to Kirtland and then go to the Cedar Point amusement park. The trip was from Friday-Wednesday and we stayed in three different RV parks where we enjoyed the public showers and bathrooms!!
The Jordan Peterson family minus Crystal and Matt in front of the Kirtland Temple.
The daily activities while driving to our next destination. ie: i-pods, Nintendo DS, PSP, etc.
Uncle Whitney thought everyone was patting him on the back giving him well wishes when we were all really just putting our stickers on him!
Not an RV trip without a stop at Walmart!
Whole group on the front porch of the Johnson home. This is the exact spot that Joseph Smith stood when giving the sermon the morning after he was tarred and feathered.
Next stop was Cedar Point. The coolest amusement park in the world! This ride was called The Dragster and went from 0-120mph in 4 seconds. It went straight up and the straight down in 17 seconds. It was awesome!!!!!!!
The fun didn't stop after the RV's were turned in! We went into Philly for a day to see the liberty bell and Independence Hall.
Family waiting in line for Independence Hall.
We ate lots of scrumtrulescent food and dad taught Thomas how to make sushi!
Going to see the 4th of July fireworks.
I'll miss East Coast sunsets.
One last game of five crowns before everyone goes home.
And what's a trip without Jack? He has this cute little trick where you put a basket next to him and say "jack in a basket" and he climbs right in and goes to sleep!
Lauren finally received her mission call yesterday. We learned that when the computer reads, "sent such and such date", it really means it will come 10 days later!
At this point she had accidentally skipped ahead and saw where she was going!!!
