We left Flagstaff that morning and hit the road for Bloomington, CA to see Jeremy's aunt and uncle and cousins. Along the way we hit a bit of a problem... we ran out of gas in the middle of the desert!
I guess Jeremy anticipated better milage but in the heat, with the A/C blasting, we weren't getting as many miles to the gallon. Also, we kept waiting for gas stations to appear on the highway but I guess it isn't like that here! We ended up running out of gas 5 miles away from the gas station!
Luckily, I have AAA (courtesy of Aunt Kathie... thank you!) so we called and they sent someone out. An hour and a half later we were back on the road. We celebrated with gas station blizzards.
We got to Bloomington around 3:00 and were excited to see everyone. Actually, these were the first people we got to hang out with besides each other in almost 4 weeks so we were REALLY excited to see them! Christopher LOVED all the dogs!
I love this picture of all the dogs hanging out! Kyrie (Jeffrey's dog) was obsessed with little Chester! The day we got there we hung out and then went to the mall with Jeffrey and his cousin Gem. We just walked around and checked out some stores. Later on we bbqed with the family and caught up.
The next day was Sunday which = softball day! We went to the Swap Meet/Flea Market right by their house and wandered around. Jeffrey got us some Mexican candy and I picked up some sweet aviator sunglasses for 5.00. We went back to the house and picked up Martha and Christopher to grab some Denny's for breakfast.
The guys went to a baseball game for Jeffrey to try out pitching and I hung back with Christopher and Martha. Martha showed me how to make delicious strawberry juice. So yummy and refreshing. Then it was time for softball. Brian, Jeffrey and Jeremy played while I hung out with Martha, Jeffrey's girlfriend Miriam and some other cousins.
We just hung out with the dogs, ate pizza and hung out for the night. It was really nice just hanging around for a few days rather than running around sightseeing all day like we had been doing. We had such a nice time! We can't wait to come out there again!
