Vacation !!!!

This past week we went on a Vacation that was much needed.

First we Drove 8 hours to our Cabin in Southern Utah, Panguitch Lake.

 

The 8 Hours was worth the wait. The Weather was Perfect. We saw Deer in the Meadow every night and Morning. Lee said if he was a Hunter he would benefit me coming because I could find them every day at the right time.

 

The Boys loved the Pine Trees. Especially the Pine Cones.

 

This Tree was a little bit taler than Mason. He thought this was so interesting.

 

Caden with his HUGE, pine cone he found.

 

My Boys !!!!

 

Walking down the Hill in back of the Cabin. Mason had a tough time. He wanted to walk by himself, except he would fall and roll down the hill.

 

Then a couple days later we tried to go fishing. The fish were not biting at all.

Caden and Lee. The boys were so excited to use there brand new fishing poles. Caden had Spider-Man, and Mason had Cars. Let me tell you casting push button poles are HARD.

The boys trying to catch a fish. I think it was the spot we were at. But Lee swore that was the spot.

 

After a really good nap in the Morning, we decided to go back on the Lake, but this time we would Rent a boat to check out the whole lake.

 

Beautiful day for a Boat ride.

 

I asked Lee if he knew how to drive a boat, and his response back to me was " I did get my Merritt Badge in boating when I was in Scouts"

Really Assuring !!!! 15 or 17 years ago, and he never told me that it was a big boat that had a gear shifter.

I was impressed with Lee, and We had a blast.

 

Caden was a little uneasy about the idea at first.

 

He's not much of a water fan.

 

But after a couple Treats and Bribes he was getting the hang of it.

 

Mason has no fear and loved the whole experience.

 

I got some sun that day !!!! WHOO HOO !!! Maybe a little too much for all of us. The next Morning we were a little bit tender on the cheeks.

 

Look we are all having a fun time !!!!

 

When we were going around on the Lake, we saw this Cabin, I told Lee that's the Cabin I would love to Have one Day. I love the Rock siding on the Cabin, and the Dark Wood. Very Rustic !!!!

 

After a Couple days in Panguitch we went down thru St. George to Vegas and stopped off and visited some Family and Friends.

This is Grandma J. She just moved to St. George. She lived in Paraguna, but since she is getting a bit older and she lives by herself assistant living was going to be best for her.

This place was awesome. It had everything they need in there. Movie theaters, Hair Dressers, Ice-Cream Parlor, you name it they have it. Plus the Mall is right down the street. VERY NICE

The only bad thing was our boys were a bit crazy and wanted to make Noise, which does not mix with older people, so our visit was cut a little short.

The planning on seeing Grandma J. was perfect. It was her 85th birthday the day we visited. I know she looks good for 85 !!!!!

Then that afternoon in St. George we met up with our Friends the Hammons.

I had to steal your Picture from your Blog. ( It is so Cute )

Matt is a Dentist and Their Kids are almost the Same age as our kids. They have 2 boys Treyson, and Crue. Then her last one is a GIRL Macey. She is so Adorable. Lee and Matt have been friends from School and from Church. I met Haley when they were just dating, and we have all been friends since. Every time we go to St. George to visit, we always have that idea of Moving down, St. George is very nice, it's not too big, but not too small, plus it's only maybe an hour away from Vegas. Close to Family and we would already have Really good Friends. Well we all met up for Lunch ( Mc D's ) Since the boys were really CRAZY !!!! They had a Big Play Area. Mason got stuck a couple times and I had to go rescue him. I know We should of got a picture of me crawling through the tubes. But the Camera was in my Pocket. I think we stayed at Mc D's for about a Hour and a Half just catching up on good times. Thanks for hanging out with us Hammons. We miss you !!!!!

 

Then we were off to Vegas for Graduation. My Brother and Lee's Brother were both graduating High School. Let me tell you thank goodness for In-Laws and Grandparents who could watch the boys while we went to the Graduation. They were LONG !!!! But exciting. Caden was so happy he could Visit my Twin Sister Melanie's Daughter Andi. One night she spent the night with us and they had so much fun.

 

Then on one day we decided to take the kids and the cousins to the Bellagio and the Mandalay Bay to check out some cool stuff.

 

At the Bellagio they had Trains !!!! The Boys loved it !!!! Mason and Seth could not get enough of the train's going around and around.

 

CHOO-CHOO is all we heard from the boys !!!!

 

Since the Water Show didn't start until after dark, we went to the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay. The kids had so much fun. Cameryn thought we were going to feed her to the sharks. Caden was a little bit more uneasy about the sharks than everyone else. Mason couldn't figure out how the fish were swiming up underneath them. Mason also love the Sharks. We had such a fun time hanging out all together.

 

Mason Touched the Sting Ray.

 

Grandpa put his hand in there too to get a feel.

 

Then it was back home again. It was a short trip with the Family, I wish I could hang out with more of my Friends when we were down, but there was way too much going on.

In the Car we brought Lunchables for the boys to snack on and this is what I saw when I looked back when the boys were giggling at each other. CRAZY BOYS !!!!

I hope we can come back soon to see everyone again. Maybe I will plan more time to spend !!!! We had tons of Fun Memories !!!!

Miss you guys already !!!!
