Southern Utah, Vegas, Colorado, Missouri, Home... Now Vermont...
We spent about a week with our friends in southern UT, we went boating on Adam's birthday, he went knee boarding and was pretty awesome, since the strap wouldn't do up. Then we drove all around St. George checking things out, went to Down East Basics and got myself a new pair of shades for 5 bucks which are awesome. Then we headed down to Vegas, we stayed at the Golden Nugget, they had a cool pool with a shark tank in the middle and a slide that went to the middle of it. We hung out on Fremont St that evening and enjoyed the lights show. The kids thought that was pretty amazing Allie was dancing and loving it...Lucas actually sat in the stroller and let us push him everywhere....And Phoebe was the biggest attraction in Vegas... Everyone thought she was so cute all these people would be smiling at me and I would smile back wondering why they were all so smiley... then would remember the cutie on my chest in the baby bjorn...We spent then next day swimming, we went to the Strip in the evening to see the water show... It was cute Allie kept calling it the Golden Chickie Nugget.... Well you know it is a great place for kids to remember. Then we went back up slept packed up for the millionth time and headed out for home...
One quick stop at Grandma Bessie's house for lunch and off to Colorado. Which was very sad because we missed most of it in the dark! There was tons of snow up there though and the tunnels were very cool! That night we made it to Limon Co. Where we stayed a the Sleep Gold Inn... or something like that, It had gold in the name but it was NO Golden Nugget... No lights in the bathroom, TV didn't work, Shady red spots on the carpet....(it was NICE) Actually it was scary. The next day we drove through Kansas and pretty much the whole way I was thinking about how I could NEVER live there becasue I would be constantly terrified of tornados...It was all I could think about till Ohio. That night we slept in the worlds most expensive Motel 6, but it was Very Clean, and so nice not to be worried about anything from the bed eating me for dinner. The last day the big Push for home. The kids were so excited they stayed up the whole time. We got home at 1:30am... they were so thrilled to be home! So were we, but Alas it wasn't to last, we unpacked half our stuff, did laundry, repacked, cleaned out the van, and reloaded it... jumped in and headed out for Vermont... We got here to VT at about midnight and we were all so wired we were up till 2:30. Today we washed our van, cleaned off 2300 miles worth of bugs, and dust, it looks much nicer now! The kids and Adam had a water fight. It was very cute I have fun pictures I will upload tomorrow.
