Saturday morning we got up and going and loaded the suburban. Hallie was supposed to have a soccer game at 11 and we were planning on leaving from there but with the pouring rain Matt and the other coach decided to postpone it so we finished packing and got on the road a couple hours early. The girls were thoroughly entertained watching movies and doing activities out of their activity basket that was in between them. It had color book, a leap pad, books, look and find, and a few toys. We stopped for lunch in Lehi when we got gas and it didn't take long after that for the girls to fall asleep.
Matt and I passed most of the time just talking and catching up. Matt graded tests and put in final grades so I did most if the driving. I think one of the only good things about driving a long distance is being stuck with this guy. Man I love him and all our little adventures.
We stopped one more time for gas in Cedar and other than that stayed on the road. We got to Vegas about 5pm and was just in time for dinner. The girls were so good no whining or crying...except maybe form me wondering when we would be there I really don't like to drive long distances but really it went pretty quickly. My mom had gifts for all of us for Easter. The girls were so excited to be at grandma and papas house. They opened their presents while Matt and I unloaded the car and got settled.
My dad had borrowed a fire pit so we could do roasted hot dogs and smores. While the boys got the fire to the right cooking temperature the girls worked on their bubble blowing skills with some help from grandma. The girls loved it.
The look of pure joy
Then it was time to cool off and do some swimming. Before getting in the tub and off to bed. Usually Im a stickler for bedtimes but I figured since we were going to be on the different time zone for over a week we might as well adjust. The girls had a ball staying up late and playing with grandma. And it was nice that when they were getting up 8:30am Utah time it was 7:30 in Vegas so it gave us more time to get things done. Sunday morning we got up and ready for church but before that we got everyones belly's full. Matt always comments on how crazy Gracie's hair gets with the curl it has when it dries and here is a good shot of her "morning hair."
After church we took it easy everyone had a nap, we went for a walk, and we just relaxed for the afternoon. The girls loved playing with grandma's dollys, polly pockets,and littlest pet shop we barely noticed they were even there. Then it was off to bed for our last night in Vegas at least for now.
