We started our vacation out in cedar city where Josh had a couple of little carpet jobs. After that on sat. we moved to St. George, where our stay was not long enough but still fun. Sunday morning Josh went home with his sister, and I, after visiting some family, headedto VEGAS to see my friend Emily!
The kids were a little shy at first but quickly remembered each other. We had a BLAST! Monday we went shopping and the kids were so good. We could not get over how good they were. We went out and about all week and it didn't even seem like a big deal. Em and I decided we liked having two women around to help with everything. Tuesday we did the strip thing and took the kids to see the "pink birds"(flamingos), the fish and toy store, and the circus acts. Everybody looked at us like we were crazy with four kids in a casino but we didn't care, WE LOVED IT! They loved it too, and were fascinated as we walked through all the lights and action.
Wednesday, we tried to do the swimming thing, but lighting started and we got kicked out, so we had a quiet day at home. Which was much needed.
Thursday we packed up and said our good-byes. It was so hard not knowing when we were going to see each other next. The kids did pretty good on the way home. Brie got whiny and kept saying " Mom this is too far, my bum hurts" We just made a few little pit stops then thy were good for a few more hours. Thanks Emily for an AMAZING week. We love you guys. Brie summed it up pretty good when she was saying prayers last night, " thank you that we could stay at Ava's, uncle Jakey's, and Olivias"! It was so sweet! She also said on the way home "Mom thanks for taking me to Olivias!"
We came home to a pretty bare house. Josh had been packing while we were gone, and I started to cry when I walked in! It didn't even look like our home anymore!
