We had so much fun in Las Vegas!!  After hanging out with cousins on Saturday and Sunday, on Monday we took Grandma and Grandpa and went to the ghost town of Rhyolite which is about a two hour drive through the desert.  There's some beautiful desert through there!  We all loved having a picnic at the community park in Beatty, seeing the ruins in Rhyolite, visiting the museum, and visiting Nevada's Largest Candy Store.  Who knew that it was in Beatty?

On Tuesday, Kevin had to visit his office in Las Vegas, so Diane came over with her cute preschoolers and we hung out and visited for awhile until they had to go home for naps and Kevin came back.  Then we took Grandma and Grandpa again and we went to hike the Historic Train Tunnels trail down by Lake Mead.  So fun!  It was very pretty and tunnels are very cool and history is even cooler!  Then we walked across the new pedestrian bridge above Hoover Dam and then we met Diane in a park in Boulder City and looked at the lake and had dinner.

On Wednesday, we had to come home!  :(  Sad!  But we are so happy for the fun days we got to spend in sunny Nevada! 

We all did work on Thursday.  Well, Sarah and Megan and Mom and Dad had to do some work the rest of the week.  Cali and Chey and Beth and Ben got to play with friends and they always enjoy time doing that!  Megan did take a chance to relive her childhood and made a fort with childhood friend, Rebekah!

Friday, we took the time to drive up to Tremonton to go to the reception of Sarah's second-cousin, Justin, who helped her so much at school last semester!  Kevin got to see some of his cousins who he hasn't seen for possibly two decades and we met Grandma and Grandpa Gazdik and went out to eat at Maddox afterward.  Yum!  It was a fun night!

On Saturday, it rained most of the morning, was sunny most of the afternoon, and was blustery and SNOWED at night.  Ugh.  But we were thankful for the sunny afternoon where Chey and Megan decorated our walkway with sidewalk chalk . . . before the snow washed it all away!  Cali stayed inside and read her book(s) with a tutu on her head.  And before Dad beat Sarah, Cali, and Chey at Acquire, Sarah, Cali, and Chey went on a walk with me!
