vacation Part 2

So Monday was the day of the Cruise. We were so excited got up and got ready my aunt made us Yummy Pancakes.(Thanks goodness)We arrived at the Port. It was right next to the queen Mary! We check in and then we wait. We wait....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................still Waiting.................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Finally we are able to get on the boat! We got to the port at 11 and were not able to board the boat till 3:30. Hooray we are on the cruise. We go look at our new little homes for the next few days. Now we head to find something to eat! Time to unpack and head to the Life jacket thing. Get that taken care of and it is time to eat again! We sit down with our fun dinner table.





The next day is Catalina! Beautiful place. We rent a golf cart and I am the driver for the day! We toured the Island. Found a cute little beach Where we put our feet in the sand. Ate lunch at a cute little restaurant and shopped. We did have one incident with the golf cart. apparently the one police officer in town is very strict with the seat belt law. he blew his whistle at Patti and made her put it on. We laughed like you could be seriously injured in a Golf cart that can only go 10 mph.












After that we went back to the ship and got massages. Well My mom, Patti and I got the Massage and Pam got a Pedicure. After we rejuvenated. We got ready for the Captains dinner. Lobster and Prime Rib! We took lots of pictures. We changed clothes and went to the comedian and Karaoke. We all sang Margarita ville so much fun!

Still a couple more days on the boat and Disneyland to come!

Vacation Part 1

So I better update our on fun fun girls vacation! It was so nice to get away and have fun just my sisters and Mom. It has been forever since we could just be us and not moms and wives. I have to thanks all of our husbands for letting us get away and doing such a great job with all of the kids while we were gone.
So our vacation started out on the 16Th at 1:00. Well it was supposed to everyone had a hard time getting away from families until about 2. Mine started at 1 though. We piled in the car heading out. We were starving stopped at Subway in Lehi. Um can I say that they are the slowest subway ever. Okay finally on the road bellies full. Laughing so hard having a great time! Here are car pictures I always have to have driving pictures.




We arrive in Vegas about 6:30. Go to our nice room. (Thanks to my Dad who wanted us to be taken care of!) We go for the Vegas Buffet. It was not the best but it was okay. Off to Fremont street. I know it is strange but in all the many many times of going to Vegas I had never been. Loved it! The people watching is prime.( for those of you who don't know this is a favorite past time for our family!) We laughed and had a great time. Time to drive down the strip. More people watching I love Vegas. Head back to the hotel for some great sleep.



Next morning off to the Egg and I. For those of you who have never heard of this place I highly recommend it! can you say yummy best Breakfast place ever. After that back on the road thanks to Lola. Marc's GPS he so kindly let us borrow. We would have totally been lost if not for her! We get to my Aunt and Uncles house about 7 that night. So fun to see them and catch up! I will get to the cruise and Disneyland later.

Art Show

Today at Kayla's school she had an art show. They have been learning for a month all about art. and doing different art projects to go along with what they have learned. Today they had a day where the parents got to come look at their art, and they put on a play about the rain. They also sang a song and recited a poem because those are all forms of art. The kids were so excited. I am so proud of my little artist.

Strawberry Jam

So today my mom had the most wonderful idea. All of the girls got together and made Strawberry Jam. We had such a great time doing it and now we have Jam for our food storage. While we were there my Mom made us lunch and we just had a great time together. Thanks mom
