What's the Largest Capital City?

Betcha didn't know that Phoenix, Arizona is the largest capital city in the U.S.--cuz I didn't either! I thought for sure it had to be some big state like California, New York, or Texas, but all of their biggest cities aren't the capitals. Crazy huh. We are here in Phoenix for two weeks for Keith's work. All I can say is MAN IT IS HOT HERE! It's around 115 during the day and in the early morning and at night between 8-9 o'clock it's still in the 90s. I don't know how anyone can live here permanently, personally it is way too hot for me and I like to have seasons and snow on Christmas but it does have it's own beauty here with the palm trees and cacti. We've had fun staying here at the Marriott- swimming in the pool and loving their yummy breakfasts. Saturday we went to a MLB game- the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. The New York Mets. Arizona won. It was a super hot day and we were dying in the heat, once we got our tickets and didn't know what to expect- if the stadium was outdoors, if they had drinking fountains etc. so we stocked up on water and got prepared for the game- --once we walked into the stadium we found that it was air conditioned, indoors, and plenty of bathrooms and drinking fountains! HALLELUIAH!! We had so much fun taking little man to his first MLB game--and mee too!! Last Friday and yesterday (Sunday) we hung out with my niece Chelsea and her husband James. They live in Glendale while James is going to Med School at MidWestern. We had soooo much fun catching up with them, eating dinner, and chatting. It was also nice to go to church with people we know instead of going to some random ward not knowing  anyone. I wish they lived closer to us (near Boise) because we would be hanging out with them all the time--we had a blast!

Here are some pics of our trip so far.......

Keith and Carson swimming at the hotel pool--I was tanning off to the side :)

IHOP for breakfast! Look at how grown up little man looks!

I was excited about In-N-Out for dinner. They have so many of them here in AZ

Walking to the game. Love the Palm Trees!

Chillin at the game. Ignore our sweatiness and my no make-up face. We had fun once we got into the air conditioned indoor stadium.

Little man at his first MLB game!

There was an indoor pool and hot tub in the stadium!

The indoor stadium!

Hanging out with Chelsea and James on Sunday

Can you believe they are cousins?

We are having fun here in Arizona but I am excited to get back to Boise. The fair in Boise starts just in time- right when we get back. I haven't been to the Western Idaho Fair in years because we've been living in Eastern Idaho so we've always gone to the Eastern Idaho Fair in Blackfoot so I'm excited for a bigger and better one and for some cooler temps!.
