We celebrated the 4th of July in Utah with the Cook clan. They had their neighbors over, and we set off a TON of fireworks. I have no pictures. In my opinion, if you've seen one firework you've seen them all, but I took of million pictures of our daytime activities at Thanksgiving Point.
We decided to try out the Alpine Slides in Alpine, Utah (home of the 2002 Winter Olympics).
We had a blast on the slides, the zip lines, and the roller coaster.
When we arrived in Cedar Hill, we immediately had shaved ice and visited the coolest park.
We went to Jeff and Gigi Cook's house in Utah for five days, but we packed so much into five days that I feel it is best to break the post up into parts.
We left July 1st at 4:00am.
We stopped in Vegas for breakfast. We chose to eat at the Bellagio and share the Vegas buffet experience with our kids.
They each ate nowhere near $17.00 worth of food, but it was fun to see their eyes grow as they took it all in.
I hear people say all the time, "Make sure you write that one down, because you will forget all of this one day." I use this blog for that very purpose. Strider said a couple of funny things this last week, and I want to get them down before I forget. Getting old stinks!
We had our first trip out to the river this weekend. It felt good to get back in the boat and on the water.
I removed my last post about fun with bags, but here is another one, and I don't think anyone can find anything illegal or scary here.
You all know my boys love to wrestle. Here is their attempt at creating their own singlets.
Patty bought us tickets to Les Miserables, and we went this Saturday. Zulema just had the baby and couldn't go, and Gel was busy with a piano recital. I'm happy I was able to go. It was a fabulous show, and the ladies I went with are one in a million. Thank you, Patty!
