This weekend Cory and I went to Joe City in northern AZ where Cory grew up. We left the city to get out of town, see a Joe City high school football game, and visit grandpa Miller. I could not wait for the car ride up. I would think that most people hate the car ride up with their families but Cory's family is so much fun. We laughed the whole time.
First of all Jim (mother-in-law's husband) wanted us to sing "Life would be a dream" "sha-boom, sha-boom" the whole time! We had a conversation that started with grapes and ended with meeting "Bubba" in jail and getting a soap on the rope. (don't ask) Jake (nephew, age 8) got a new phone and kept calling everyone on their phones even though he was sitting right next to you. Dylan (nephew, age 7) was telling on Cory for not farting. "Mom, Cory's not farting when I pull his finger!" Cory got yelled at because he was holding the seat belts behind people so when they went to put their seat belt on they couldn't, and Jim fell asleep and started snoring. Cory thought there was something wrong with the engine.

We stopped at sonic for drinks and bathroom break on the way up
(Jake and Dylan)
Here we are walking into the football stadium at Joseph City High School. For being such a small town they have a great high school.
This will tell you how small of a town Joe City is : During the game the announcer said "Ross Mayor your car lights are on." Not the owner of a Blank blank, no they know everyone in the town and what they drive. Very small town!
At half time the kids and some of the men got to go onto the field and try to kick a field goal. If they were able to make it they could pick anything from concession stand.
Here is Jake taking his turn.
The football game was great to watch and even though we lost, the game was close. Don't worry, we will come back and kill them at state.

Night Number 2: Fireworks!!!!
About ten miles outside of Joe City they have what they call the Bad Lands. As you can see they have some neat hills there. Most the time you come out here to have bond fires, parties, BBQ, and to shoot off some fireworks.
We all sat around while the men set up the show
This is Sophie's "big smile". She can't wait for the show too!
The fireworks were great. Bigger and better then I thought they were going to be.
Great time! I can't wait to make my way back. Thanks for the fun Joe City.
