Jumpin' Jacks








So the second day dawns in Utah a little on the wet side, and so ever-ready Mom had something alternate to do instead of playing on some more sand dunes, we would instead go to an indoor inflatable jungle gym!! Sounds like fun, huh? But for who?? Mom/Dad or Kids?? You be the judge!!

Off to the Sand Dunes


Doesn't look like beach sand, huh?? It's definitely not, much less the color but also it felt so much more fine and fun to play in. There were lots of kites there on this day as well, so minus losing the house sand toy somewhere in the abyss of red sand, everything went well!! ;)

Gypson Mine







Well we got to Utah safely and straight away Mom and Dad had us going....we went to this mine that isn't actually really being used a mine per say because they didn't think that anybody got any of the gypsom there for commercial use, but we sure enjoyed looking at it....for those uncultured heathens who don't know what gypson is (I had no clue, so I'm just kidding!!) there's a picture of it here...it looks very much like Kryptonite crystals!! Aha, so that's where it is!! Nobody tell Lex Luther!! ;)

M&M World Highlights


After deciding that Vegas wasn't for us we decided to take our leave and head to St. George...i.e. the real reason for the trip...but not without one last stop at M&M World. What a place!! The bottom picture albeit small are all the different colors of M&Ms that you could purchase, and the top is a picture of Kleenexes with the M&M logo on it!!

Las Vegas...Pre Utah Trip





Well because of Mom feeling that the family might need to sleep off some "jet-lag" after our 5 or so hour flight...(Chris and I just looked at each other and laughed-i.e. flight from Korea is 14!!) we decided to humor her and to let Chris see Vegas for the first time in all its "splendor." Ruth had seen it many years ago with my own family growing up and remembered it being a wonderful place with puppet shows and wonderful food. Well, all I can say is that time changes everything....the family themed ANYTHING is now gone and traded for a much more "sinful" approach to entertainment. And the food was okay but very expensive. The top picture was the best thing I saw in all of Vegas!! Anywhere there is a ROSS can't be 100% evil!! ;)

Just Plain Lazy!!

Besides the fact that today was a "kids drive me up the wall" kind of day, I'm just being plain lazy on updating those Utah pics...Mom, you were there with us so you don't HAVE to see them and I'm not sure anybody else is sitting on the edge of their seat just salivating waiting for my pictures, and basically the camera's in the car and it's cold,wet,and rainy here so I just don't want to go get my camera...but as soon as Chris uploads some of his beauties from our Easter shoot, I'll be sure to put those on here, just don't be surprised if it takes 'til 4th of July to see Easter pics!! ;)
