Road Trip

We took our first road trip last week to St. George with our good friends the McReavy's and their family.  We stayed in their super nice condo and enjoyed the relaxation and the heat.  It was so hot, therefore we spent a lot of time in the pool!  The kids did awesome on the drive thanks to a borrowed DVD player--it was a lifesaver.  Once in St. George we swam, took lots of naps, saw Kung Fu Panda, went to a 4th of July carnival, swam some more, created our own firework show, and took a trip down to Vegas.  It was so nice to get away and spend some good quality family time together.  

The kids loved the blow up slides at the carnival.  They went over and over again!  Collin also loved the swings.  He doesn't get to go high too often on swings because we don't have baby swings at the park near our house.  He was laughing away!

The kids were so excited to do fireworks.  We did a pre-show a couple of days before we left at our house--it left them anxiously awaiting more.  Sophie was thrilled when we bought them.  She took them to her room and insisted that she take a nap with them.

A family photo shoot.  Sophie was insistent that she not have her picture taken, hence Logan practically tying her down.

The kids enjoying the games at Circus Circus.  Daddy won them each a stuffed animal!  They couldn't have been happier--oh wait, there were many tears due to the fact that dad didn't win exactly the right stuffed animal!
