Driving South to find sunshine for Spring Break

St. George was fun, but we loaded in the car Sunday afternoon to go further south to find sunshine for our Spring Break vacation.

We stayed in our time share in Las Vegas.  The girls were beat, but Matthew was all full of energy as always:)

  

Monday morning, we woke up to clouds and rain lurking around the corner.  The lazy river had to wait, but we had a blast on the rides at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus. 

 

It wasn’t raining inside the Adventurdome, but the log ride sure was wet.  We used our brains a little.  It was the last ride of the day.  Dave had to sit in the “wettest spot” three times on the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios in October, so Ali and the kids got the “soaking spots.”

Lindsey is already talking about our 4 year car plan to acquire an extra car when she turns 16.  After a ride with her on the bumper cars, her Dad says it may be a 10 year plan. (or 20, we’ll see).

 

 

 

 

Disko was quite the hit.  Matthew made the height limit for all he wanted to ride.  Dave was tall enough too, but doesn’t really enjoy “spinny-rides.” (It was pretty freaky)

 

Lindsey’s first time on the Inverter.  Crazy Girls!

   

I couldn’t take pictures on the big roller coaster because it was too fast and had 4 loopty-loops.  After the 4th time, Matthew asked if we could not go on it again because he felt like a “bobble-head.”

 

We had a lot of fun out at the pool in the sunshine on Tuesday.  I forgot to take the camera, but it was really fun to see some of our friends from Seattle there. 

We got in the car to drive home and as you can see, the trip North was wet and cold.  We stopped at Cove Fort, Utah and did the tour since Brittney’s 4th grade field trip got cut from the school because of the economy and budget cuts.  It was fun to go as a family.  The nice missionary took our picture, but it is out of focus and we only had one.
