A Weekend of Sunshine

Brandon made plans to go down to the BYU vx. UofA football game with Shane (from Osborn Maledon), and invited us to come along for Labor Day weekend!  We told the kids about a week before, and they were so excited to get to see their friends!

We stayed in Las Vegas the first night on our way down at whatever $30 hotel Brandon could find.  It was extremely run down, but the kids thought we were living large!  At the "continental breakfast" (if you can even call it that), Andrew thought we were actually in China because they had a few lanterns and Chinese signs.  Hilarious!  Glad we can impress our children with so little - they are just too easy to please at this age!

The kids each chose a friend to take to Krazy Air Trampoline Park (Rachel-Holly, Andrew-Maddox, Kendall-Brooklyn) and then we met the Tompkinson's and Gunnell's at Organ Stop Pizza.  We also saw the Hawk's at some point that weekend too, I just can't remember when.

We stayed at the Arizona Grand Hotel for one night and that was very fancy (especially comparing it to the Las Vegas hotel).  They had multiple pools, lazy river, waterslides, etc.

I met up with Kasey to take some quick baptism pictures of Cole at the Gilbert temple, and they took me to breakfast.  Later that weekend, we stayed with Kasey's family at her "farm" which my kids love.  They also have a slide that goes from the boys room to the toy room - so fun!  They had just had baby turtles and oh my word, they were the cutest little things I have ever seen!

On Sunday on our way to church, we had a tire pop/rupture.  But since we were with Brandon, we had plenty of time to put on a spare tire and still make it to church on time.  The Lehi Crossing Ward has already changed so much!  Brandon unfortunately had to leave from church and get the tire fixed.  That was kind of a nightmare getting figured out on a Sunday + holiday weekend, but it worked out and we were able to get on our way.

I even got to sneak in a quick visit with Sarah before we headed back home - lucky me (I think I promised her I wouldn't post the pic of her and I anywhere - oops!  Sorry Sar!)!  It was a quick weekend, but good for our souls to get some sunshine and see our Arizona friends!
