What a busy, fun filled week we have had! Saturday we drove up to Pocatello to drop Maggie off for the week. Grandma helped the kids color eggs and then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Jack's before heading back home to pack.
Easter morning the kids found all the eggs and goodies and then we hit the road heading south...looking for warmer weather :)
We crashed the Wynn's Easter dinner (most delicious, Patti! Thanks again) =) and let Dusty beat the tar out of the kids before continuing our travels.
How Kort rides in the car......
How Kendrie rides in the car.....
A pit stop in Beaver found a big chair to fill...
Finally at our hotel, the kids let loose their excitement =)
Monday we drove to Vegas for the day. Not the sunny warm day we were hoping for, but we were indoors most of the time.
Our first stop was to the Bellagio. They have gorgeous floral arrangements every year. The minute you walk in the doors, you are hit with the fresh floral aroma....it was beautiful!
What would a trip to Vegas be without a stop at M&M World?
Gas isn't the only thing going up in price....these tasty little things went from $8 a pound to $13 a pound in the last 2 years....the choice of color makes it all worth it though, right??? = \
Lunch at the Rainforest Cafe
and then over to the Wynn and Encore (more favorites of mine) =)
Tuesday the weather was sunnier, not quite warm, but the pool was heated =D
To St. George for the afternoon and lunch at In & Out...yummy! Jim left from there and the kids and I headed back to Mesquite for the rest of the week.
We stayed at our friend's, the Marchant's, house. Unfortunately, their pool had been drained to fix a leak, but we found other ways to have fun in the water. Wednesday the kids ran through the cold sprinklers and laid on the driveway to get warm. I sat in the chair soaking up as much sun as I could....storing it up to last me until June ; ) Wednesday afternoon, I took some pictures of my friend Tammy's kids and then headed back to Klea's for Darren "World Famous" spaghetti (very tasty, Darren! You should bottle it ; )
Friday, Klea and I got our toes done and then sat out by the empty pool and watched the kids turn the bottom of it into a slip 'n slide....the trick was to get up before you hit the muddy water = ) Then we got cleaned up and I took the Marchant's family pictures downtown and down by the river. The kids stayed up late playing Guitar Hero and talking and giggling.
Saturday I had another family session with the Laub's and then it was pack up and drive to St. George where we met Jim and had a long ride home.....watching the temperature go from 87 to 50 by the time we got to Provo =( It was a very fun week, but we are glad to be home....except for the snow we woke up to this morning.....
