Our Family Vacation

Wow... it has been so crazy at our house this last month, I now finally have time to sit down and post and let you know what has been going on with us.

Well, the most exciting thing that has happened since our last post is that we have grass!!! YEAH!!! The first thing Kylee wanted to do was to put on her swimsuit and run in the sprinklers. My brother, Justin, had to go through with her a couple of times and then she figured it out and loved it. Dylan wasn't so keen on the fact that cold water was being sprayed on him.


Kylee really loves that we have grass, but I think that Dylan would rather have all the dirt back...

We also took a little family vacation with our friends, the Daich's, and went to Las Vegas for Memorial Day weekend. Her dad lives there and so we were able to stay at his house which is about 15 minutes away from the strip and were able to go to some fun places. We went to a Children's Discovery Museum, a Botanical Cactus Garden and Chocolate Factory, a Shark Reef Aquarium, and the Las Vegas Zoo. The zoo wasn't the greatest and it was overrun by pigeons, chickens, and peacocks, but the kids had fun chasing the birds so it was worth it. Here are some pictures from Vegas...

As you can tell, at the Cactus Garden we struggled to get a good family picture... but they are pretty funny to look at that is for sure!! :)

After Vegas we stopped in St. George where my parents have a little house, which Kylee calls "The Curious George House" and we hung out there for a couple of days. We made a little house out of cardboard boxes and the kids loved it!! Who knew!!! Kylee was also able to go on a little motorcycle ride with my parents... which we were all suprised because she was scared of it at first. So we took advantage of that moment and took a picture.

Our last day in St. George was actually the warmest day of our whole vacation, so we went swimming with some friends in our ward that were also down there. We had a ton of fun... and all of us big people got fried!! Kylee decided that she wanted to wear a life jacket like her friends, but when she got in the pool with it she kept rolling on her back!! She wasn't heavy enough to keep her and the life jacket upright, so we went back to arm floaties for her. Dylan found some pink goggles that he loved wearing!! Scott didn't like that his son was wearing pink... but everytime we took them off, he wanted them back on again. It was funny!!

After we came home and got our house back to order we went and hung out with the Goode's for a day the girls got in their suits and ran through the sprinklers. Here they are enjoying the warm weather...

Thanks for putting up with such a long post. I will try not to wait so long to post the next time!!
