That's Pretty Good

This past Friday my family and I ventured up to Utah for a extended family reunion. Let me just tell you folks, 12 hours of driving in the course of 24 hours is. not. fun. Your butt starts to hurt really bad from all the sitting and the temperature is never quite right. You know what I mean: it's to cold so you put your sweater on, but, the moment you put your sweater on someone else in the car decides to turn the AC off, and pretty soon your sweating in your sweater, and so forth. The first day we drove six hours to Las Vegas and stayed in a Casino/ Hotel. There were only two beds and there were five of us so naturally we called the front desk and asked them for a roll-away bed. Apparently to save money in Casinos they don't send roll-away's to rooms that have two beds. Who knew? The kind people down in the lobby sent up and extra blanket and pillow. Cheryl, Faith, and I had a fun time snuggling.

We got up the next morning and drove another six hours to Midway, Utah. One of the prettiest places in Utah. There are beautiful trees and it's really quiet and green. We stayed at the Homestead Resort. It was fun to reconnect with cousins and spend a few days relaxing. You would think that since we were in the Prove Canyon that it would be cooler than AZ, but, you're wrong! It was about the same temperature it was here everyday.:( One of the days that we were there, the whole family went to a park to eat lunch, it was very pleasant.

 

While we were traveling we also stopped at a few Temples to take some pictures, and so Faith could get a rock from the Temple grounds (she collects one rock from every Temple).

One of the reasons we traveled to Utah, was so my mom could attend her sisters' favorite party. They do one every few years. This year they were all given a month of the year and they get a gift for each of their sisters, that is their favorite thing about that month. My mom had the month of May, so she made these incredibly cute books filled with scrap booked pages about flowers. When she found out what month she had she told my sisters and I that she wanted to do something easy and inexpensive. Well my mom did something just the opposite of that, but the books sure turned out cute.

While we were in Utah we also checked out LDS Business College which is where my sister, Faith, will be attending College in the Fall.

And while we were there we had to go to Crown Burger. THE BEST BURGERS EVER...AND THEY HAVE FRY SAUCE!!!

 

We started driving home at about two in the afternoon on Monday. We decided to drive through the night and just get home as soon as possible. It was a long drive, but I'm glad we're back home.

Look at my cute sisters!
