Mesquite

So this last weekend Robbie and I went to Mesquite with Willie, Robbie's older brother, and his fiance Grace. It was the perfect break we needed from school, work and cold weather. We stayed at Grace's parent's house in a brand new and beautiful home. We had so much fun, like we always do with Willie and Grace! We had a bit of trouble getting into the house once we arrived at midnight or so (Grace's parents haven't moved in yet). Turns out Grace's sister accidently gave us the wrong key and we didn't know the garage code. But thankfully the "house watcher" let us in.


After the crazy late night, we woke up and made french toast and then we relaxed flipping through channels and such. Later we went geo caching (Willie's hobby that we all like to do). After geo caching we visited a couple Casino's and watched old folks spend their entire retirement savings. I was seriously so surprised at how many old people there are out on a Saturday night in the casinos. Next, we binged at one of the casino's buffets, then we went to the local theater and saw Pearcy Jackson and the Lightening Thief.


On Sunday, we woke up late and didn't make it to the 11 o'clock church so we thought no problem we will go to the 12 o'clock church. It just so happened the 12 o'clock ward was the Spanish ward. It was pretty cool. I could understand one in every 50 words thanks to my 8th grade spanish class. But the church is the same any where you go right? It was a good experience. We also played games with Grace's friends Chayse and Charolette after they fed us a delicious meal.


It was a much needed fun vacation! Thanks Will and Grace!

Here are some pictures of the trip:


On our way down.
We stopped in Beaver to eat



Geo Caching Will and Grace are so cute! Me "looking" for the geo cach. Robbie is a very valiant geo cacher. Robbie found it under this rock.



Another geo caching spot. Grace found this one, it was underneath that yellow piece of machinery. At the buffet.

  3. That first picture of Robbie is great.

    That trip looked like so much fun! You guys are so lucky that you can be at the same stage of life (sort of) as Will and Grace and hang out together.

    Can't wait to see you guys soon!

  5. Thanks for the birthday call on the way home. It helped me feel like I was a part of that amazing trip. Oh, how fun will it be when we all live close enough to each other to do trips like this together. Charlotte has mastered Geocaching, she is quite the pro at it.
