BYU went to the Bowl Game in Las Vegas again this past football season, so we were able to sneak in another trip! Brenden was able to get 6 bowl tickets, so 2 went to his wife, 2 went to his mom, and 2 went to Paul. We decided that we would ALL go to Las Vegas, but only Sierra and Paul would go to the Bowl Game. Extra tickets were $50/each and I was certain the younger boys wouldn't sit still for the game, and would quickly become bored, so I was not about to spend $200 for all of us to go and NOT have fun! Instead, we decided that I would take the boys for a night out on the town...in Vegas. Ok, so we couldn't really do the Vegas scene. We didn't walk the strip. We went to the Excalibur Buffet and I let the boys eat until they were sick! Then we went to the outskirts of Vegas, and saw the Movie "Tale of Desperaux". These pictures were taken with my cell phone, so they are not that great. The boys had a great time! After the show we went to go pick up Sierra and Paul at the Bowl Game. We were able to time everything just right so no one had to wait around! 
Snow in Vegas! On our way to California the next day, we saw people stopped on the side of the freeway having snowball fights, and loading snow into their trucks!

All the boys in front of the movie posterAfter Vegas, we left the next day to head over to California. The boys have never seen the beach before, and I really wanted them to be able to see it! They were excited to PLAY in it. I knew it was going to be cold water, since we were just in California a couple weeks before and it was cold THEN! But the kids insisted that they were going to play in the ocean! Sierra and Andrew got too cold pretty quick, but Jacob and Daniel stayed in until they were turning blue...at some point good parenting had to come into play!
Some of the other pictures in the slide show are of the trip to Vegas in the Suburban. (I am SO glad we bought this!) After the Ocean experience, we told the boys they could go swimming at the hotel in California, cuz it would be better....IT WAS NOT! I have a couple pictures of the boys jumping in! It was COLD! Other pictures are of the family at some sort of Amusement park in California. We didn't have the time for Disneyland, so we settle for this. The kids had a BLAST though, at a FRACTION of the cost!

Oh Wendy, your slide show was delightful and it was almost like being there except I didn't have to get cold! You and your family are all so precious to us. I love you,Mom
