August Vacation

So this is what we did in August! We went to UTAH! We went to visit my sister Rebecca and her husband Justin and their new precious little (big) baby Emily. While we were there we stayed the first night with Becca and Justin in the living room of their one bedroom house. The rest of the stay we stayed in the basement of my sister Sarah's cousin in laws, with my sister Sarah, Mark, Jessica, Melissa and my mom. We spent good time together. We went to the Provo Mall, Bridal Veil Falls, Sundance, Salt Lake City and Temple Square, and to Nicks delight, the Timpanogos Harley Davidson. Isaiah and his cousin Jonathan

My dad came and met up with us in Utah as well and on Sunday we were going to have Elias blessed in Beccas ward but because of the time zone difference we had the hardest time getting to church on time and we were late so after sacrament meeting the bishop pulled us aside and let us have him blessed in his office with just him and all the family. It was wonderful! Nick blessed Elias along side my dad and my sister's bishop.

On the way home we went to Las Vegas for a night. Our hotel room at Circus Circus costed us $35 and it came with free buffet meal tickets for the kids so that night we visited the adventuredome, saw all the rides and games, and went to the buffet. In the morning we had donuts and muffins for breakfast, Nick took the kids to swim (very briefly as the pool apparently was cold), then after we got ready and checked out we drove down the strip (the kids thought that a lot of the hotels were temples). Then we parked at MGM and visited the M&M world and saw the 3-D m&m movie and saw the Coca Cola Bear next door. It was a good trip and we had fun!


Oh yeah, and the kids won a baby spongebob from a crane game with only $3 and they played one of those games where you throw ping pong balls into floating glass bowls and won Isaiah nothing other than a pair of fuzzy dice....
