Flagstaff is dead to me!

Looks like a great place to play in the snow Macie. Georgia, what a beautiful, secluded and safe place to enjoy nature.
Wait, are you two playing in the freeway?
Are you actually playing in the Median of I-17?
I gotta know. Who let you out on the freeway in the middle of winter? You did Daddy. Remember, you said "We can make it to Flagstaff, it's just an Arizona blizzard." Oh yeah, I guess I deserve those snow balls.Dear Daddy,
Thanks for the wonderful trip to Flagstaff. We really enjoyed sitting in the car not moving for 6.5 hours. We learned how loud Ava can scream when the DVD player breaks and she can't get her Elmo. We loved it when you turn off the car so we wouldn't run out of gas and it go really cold. Sorry for complaining for two hours that we had to pee before we had the courage to squat in front of the many onlookers in the middle of the median. Remember when it got really late and dark and colder, and we still hadn't move an inch? Well, that was our second favorite part. Peeing in the snow, umm...probably favorite.
We are thinking of getting T-shirts made that say "I survived the I-17 Blizzard and all I got was this UGLY SNOWMAN!"
Thanks again!
Love, Georgia, Macie and Ava....Oh, and I heard the Stanley's had a GREAT time on the Polar Express.

Hahaaa! Ah, good times! Arizonans are so funny with snow- everything stands still. Sounds like you guys made the most of being stuck on the highway. I'm actually quite impressed that you were able to go pee like that- I think I would have had preformance anxiety. :)

James you are so funny! Looks like you guys had a good time even if you never made it to Flag. Those were some serious snowballs. And I don't think after even 15 minutes of being stuck I would be able to get such huge smiles out of my kids. You guys are the best parents and your girls are troopers!

Kendra said...

This post might win the award for funniest ever! I would say Flagstaff is dead to you! But way to make the most of it, not many kids can say their parents let them play on the freeway:) Next year will be even better now

Cute post! What troopers! Way to make the best of a bad situation! By the way, who took the adorable pictures of your family at the park? I love them!

That is hilarious! I would have gone crazy and yelled at Ben the whole time! Glad you had fun on the side of the road for 6.5 hours:)
