~~Our Trip to Las Vegas~~

We got home safe and sound from our trip to Las Vegas. I just thought I'd share some of what we did and a few pictures....

On the way to Vegas we stopped in St. George to visit with Nate's Grandpa & Grandma Barnum. It was great to visit with them. This was the first time they got to meet little Jayne. Her middle name is Roberta after Nate's Grandma. The kids enjoyed getting their wiggles out for a few minutes. We also took them over to the St. George temple and had a little picnic lunch that was interrupted by sprinklers. I was the only one who got wet. Nate grabbed all three kids in one swoop and had them on the sidewalk before a drop could hit them.

Nate drove me out to see the Hoover Dam. This picture is of a bridge that they're building over the dam so that there isn't so much traffic actually driving on the dam. I can't believe these construction workers! You couldn't pay me enough to get up there!

Here's another picture of the bridge. The archway will be under the road to support it.

We all went over to the Silverton Hotel and Casino and looked at their awesome tropical fish aquarium. The kids loved it! We also took them to the Bass Pro Shop that's attached to the Casino. It's kind of like Cabela's. They had waterfalls and huge tanks full of "ginormous" fish.

We got to see Tyler and Rebekka and Quinn. That kid is such a cutie! The kids had a great time playing with their cousin. Grandma and Aunt Emily put together a little treasure hunt for the kids on St Patrick's day. They got to follow the clues and find a pot of gold!

So, when all is said and done, we had a Fabulous trip! Thanks so much to Dad & Mom Barnum and Emily for making us feel so at home! And also thanks to Tyler and Rebekka for taking some time to visit with us. Oh! And Tyler took Nate out shooting, which I think I can safely say was the highlight of the trip for Nate. So, THANK YOU TYLER!!! We missed seeing Andrew and Lecia, but hopefully next time schedules will be more permitting. We miss you guys!

If you want to see more pictures of our trip (and there are some cute ones!) I'll put them in a new album on our shutterfly site and www.nabarnumfamily.shutterfly.com. You can get there by clicking on the picture of me and Nate on the right side of the blog.
