We went to the beach one of the days! It was a really nice overcast day...
This is the first time we have ever been to a REAL beach! Exciting stuff!
Dallin couldn't let the time go by without building a sandcastle! Okay, this one is pathetic...he actually built a better one than this...it will be in a future pic...
Brandon hurt his foot at the hotel earlier that day, so he didn't go into the water much, because the salt water stung his owie. :(
Ahhh, there is a better sandcastle. I told you...and there's even a feather on top!
Way to go Dallin!
The kids loved the waves!
Sadly, we all got sunburned, on different parts of our bodies...
It was quite a windy day, but it wasn't so hot!
We still got burned though.
Scary hair! But it's vacation, right?
The day we went to the beach was lots of fun, but we were miserable afterwards because of our sunburns. Apparently I didn't do a very good job with the sunscreen. Ugh!
When we were driving back from California to Las Vegas, it was triple digits (in the middle of a heat wave) and several cars were pulled off on the side of the road because of their cars overheating. We had to go slower, and turn our air off a couple of times so we could make it. It was crazy and soooo hot! When we drove home from Vegas, we decided to leave late Sunday night, and drive through the middle of the night, so we wouldn't have to deal with the heat. We left at about 10:00 pm our time, and got home at 4:45 am. It was a long night, but there was very little traffic, and it was much cooler!
On the way home from our trip, I bought this souvenir in Mesquite, Nevada at a Chevron station. We saw it on the drive up, but I decided to wait to see if I found anything I liked more on our vacation. I couldn't decide what to get, so I got this on the way home...I was so glad we found it again...and that there was still one there!
This is what it looks like on the back! How stinking cute!
It was a successful family vacation! I'm so glad we got to go!
