A last minute vacation

As I mentioned earlier, we took a rather spontaneous trip up to Utah a couple weeks ago. We were bored the morning of Memorial Day and were trying to decide on something fun to do. We bounced around many ideas and in the end we decided to travel up to Utah to see my family. So, a few hours later we were packed and in the car - we stopped over in Vegas to split up the drive, mostly because we had a late start getting out of the house. We did Hotwire for a good hotel deal - we saw that we could get a 4 star hotel just off the strip for 65 dollars - that sounded great! So, we booked it and it ended up being the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Well, the Hard Rock is known for being... well.. not so family friendly - it's more targeted towards young single adults who like to party. We felt quite out of place bringing our 3 kids through this place. But, the room was nice and the pool was awesome! So, we enjoyed ourselves, even though we stuck out a like a sore thumb. We drove the rest of the way to my family's house the next day and stayed till the end of the week. It was a great visit! We saw lots of my fun brother (who's living in Provo), and spent a lovely afternoon with my grandparents in Salt Lake. I love my family! Thanks for having us so last minute - we love to spend time with you! :)

I haven't posted any videos in forever! Below are a couple of fun ones from our trip. The first is of Emma on the rope swing at Great Grandma's house. The second is of Emma and Ben rolling down the huge hill at the Thanksgiving Point gardens and proof that Ben is a really fun daddy. :)
