August Trip





We finally had the opportunity to take a vacation. It was a lot of driving, but it was well worth it to see cousins and just play all day. Plus it was a bonus to see Scott everyday for one whole week! We first drove to Utah and stayed with Scott's parents for a day. We played with cousins, horses, chickens, 4-wheelers, and went swimming at the Provo pool. Then we drove to Las Vegas for the Nelson reunion (Scott's mom's family). We stayed with his brother and played with even more cousins, and did a lot of swimming. We even went down to the Strip for about an hour and showed the boys the Lions at MGM and the Bellagio fountains. The reunion was good and it was even catered by Cafe Rio (good call, Justin!). We capped the weekend off by being able to see our new neice Delila be blessed in church (she is 5 weeks younger than Ginny). I even got to see my little sister and spend some time with her when we were in Vegas. We were surprised at how well our kids did. Ginny had the hardest time in the car, which surprised me. I thought she would just sleep the whole time, but I guess that wonderful newborn phase has passed. Thanks to everyone in Utah and Las Vegas that made 4 days of driving well worth it. We had a great vacation!

I hadn't realized that Scott had red hair in his family as well. No wonder your boys have have beautiful hair. My mom taught me as a kid that redhead boys are always the cutest ones. :)
