Spring Break in Mesa

 About a month ago, Jordan decided he wanted to go visit the Arizona campus of Intel (one of our top choices of companies after graduation). There is a pretty inexpensive flight that goes from Provo to Mesa so Logan and I decided to go too! The day before we left it was snowing, so we were thrilled to get into the warmer weather. 

Logan was pretty squirmy on the flight. He's pretty squirmy most days. We bribed him with candy and he did pretty good.

Jordan's aunt Bonnie was nice enough to let us stay at her beautiful home in Mesa. The Danielsons were excellent hosts to let hang out with them. They are awesome! Plus, their home is for sale, in case anyone is needing a great house in the area!

Bonnie had lots of cars and toys and Logan had a blast dumping all the toys out and playing with them. 

Bonnie also has the cutest little playhouse (with putting green). Logan really enjoyed ringing the doorbell, "washing" cups in the sink, and throwing the golf balls out the door.

However, Logan's favorite part of the trip was Dennis' truck. He was obsessed with it and would insist every 20 minutes that we go into the garage and stare at it's splendor. I agree with Logan, it's a very nice truck, and I'd love one of my own. It would make me and Logan so happy. Hahahaha!

On Friday, Logan and I dropped Jordan off at the Intel campus and then we met up with my friend Laura, who I met online when I was pregnant with Logan (we were part of a due date club, so I have about 20 online friends who were all due in the same month). I'd never met her before so it was really fun to see her in person and meet her little boy Warner. It was really fun to have lunch with her, and the boys were so adorable together.

They were chattering to each other in little boy language and pointing things out to each other.

We went to a little park to let the kids play but they didn't last very long.

At the end Warner got really sad and I asked Logan if he wanted to hold Warner's hand and they were so cute. They held hands all the way to the car. 

That afternoon we swam in Bonnie's pool, which was kind of cold but still nice, and then we had a yummy dinner of pizza, and went to the park with Dennis, Bonnie, and a bunch of their cute grandkids.

Logan really enjoyed the sand.

And the next morning, Dennis let Logan get in the driver seat of the truck, which was amazing for him.

On Saturday we met up with AJ and his family for lunch and then went to a park. AJ is Jordan's buddy from junior high. It was nice to see him and his family and we got to meet his newest little guy (but we didn't get a picture with him). 

On Saturday night we hung out for a bit and Jordan did a lot of homework. Soooo much homework and studying coming up this week for finals!

We had to wake up at 4:30 the next morning to leave for Provo. Sooooo early, but Logan still waved to the truck as we went out the garage. We had a window seat on the plane this time which made it a lot better for Logan. 

We had so much fun in Arizona. Thanks again Bonnie and Dennis for letting us stay with you. Hopefully we'll get to see more of you (and your truck, haha) in the future!
