Down Home Fun!


Our first week in Arizona we spend in Jo City visiting my parent and sister and her family. I had forgot how much kids love everything about this small town.
First off everyone owns a dog, which is the greatest thing ever to my kids. Not to mention the dozens of other farm animals in every ones backyard.
Also dirt is a cheap toy. And for some reason sandy dirt was particular interesting to my kids. Maybe it's because there is so little grass, dirt in easily accessed.
Speedy's was also a hit with my kids. Speedy's is the only store in town. The other grand kids call Speedy's the "Candy Store!" We became reacquainted with their greasy bean and cheese burritos. What a treat!

And you can't forget baking with Grandma and teasing Grandpa. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Hatch for letting us enjoy a relaxing week in small town Jo City.


The highlight of our stay in Jo City would have to be chasing chickens. Kamryn the resident professional chicken catcher instructed my children on the art of catching a chicken. The real problem is overcoming ones fear to just grab the feathered creature, but it's difficult to do, even for me. Garrett quite quickly abandoned all hope of catching a chicken and moved on to jumping on the tramp and digging the dirt. But Kendall was obsessed with those stinking hens. Sweet Kam would catch them and taught Kendall the proper way to put that chicken under you arm and on our hip to carry them around.
