Ransom sold his bright blue truck to his sister's (Anne) brother-in-law in Arizona so we quickly planned a trip to take it to him. That meant I would be driving in one car with Conrad and Ransom would be in the truck. I wasn't looking forward to driving the whole time. The timing was pretty perfect because Anne, Wes, baby Andyn, and Emily we're moving to Texas the week after our visit for Wes's ranching school.
We left for Arizona Thursday after Ransom got off work. The plan was to drive until we got tired and then we would stop at a hotel. Conrad slept most of the way so it wasn't too bad. He did wake up hungry once and I gave him a granola bar. After that he wanted a drink and we didn't have any and it was 30 minutes before we got to another gas station. He cried that whole time. We ended up stopping in Monticello at a really old hotel that was only $50. We brought some of Conrad's favorite Disney movies and watched them until he fell asleep.
The next morning we woke up, got ready, ate some breakfast, and then continued the drive. It's really not too bad of a trip when you break it up. You drive through a lot of indian reservations. Instead of seeing dead deer on the side of the road, you see horses, dogs, and cows. They just let their animals roam free. We've never stopped without being asked for money for food. I'm amazed Conrad and I made it there safe. He loved to throw whatever he was holding and throw it on the ground and cry until I picked it up for him. We played that game a lot!
We drove to Snowflake to stay with his Grandma Bigelow so we could help her around the house a little bit. All of Ransom's siblings came too. Ransom went around her yard with a weed eater. She gave him some of his Granpa's old clothes to wear and he got to keep them. She made us a delicious hamburger dinner. After, the boys went outside to play some football.
That night it was boys vs. girls in pictionary. His grandma kept us laughing the whole time. She always said her drawings were perfect whenever anyone would make fun of them. She can really get worked up! It was a lot of fun and I definitely think we'll go stay with her more often when we go down. -Katie
