I stole this collage from my SIL, Maria :) Thx! Our week came to an end.... boooo! All that was left to do was pack up and clean! It went by fairly quickly, untiiiiil.... We had some plumbing issues. The dispose-all got clogged and Drain-o didn't fix it... rather it made it MUCH MUCH worse. There was water coming from some random place in the hall way and there was water EVERY where in the kitchen. We were able to contain it and re-clean the floor. We called a plumber and the problem was quickly solved... However, we could have left two hours earlier. Abuela and I stayed home to see that the plumber fixed the issue (I felt partly responsible, since I was the one using the dispose-all at the time), while the others took the kids to the park and to get some lunch. Once everything was in order we took off, sadly!
The week was so wonderful! So many great memories where made and friendships strenghthened.
The trip back to Vegas was rough. There was tons of cars and some serious traffic, but once we got there it was nice to see the Vegas lights. We rode down the strip and looked at all the lights. Then we had dinner at the Cafe and enjoyed a great night at the Hilton.
The next morning we headed to St. George for a quick D.I. stop were we all scored some fun "new" things. Then on the road again for what seemed to be a VERY long ride back home. We had stand-still-traffic and it was so bad that we took Milli out of her carseat. We were all exhausted from the week that it was hard ride back.
The BEST part of the trip for me was when we had returned home. It was fun to reflect back on the wonderful people that make up our family. I felt that we were all closer. The kids are truly good kids and great friends for each other. I really hope we get to do it again next year and make it a new tradition :)
The only way this was possible was through Greg and Marty and their generosity to our family. They are awesome!!!

I'm glad you had so much fun.
It's important.
I'm also glad you feel strengthened in your family relations.
Sometime those are the hardest, which makes them the best.
We had a great time too! I'm glad everything went well...despite illnesses and plumbing problems. Small glitches in an overall great vaca! :) And yeah, I'm so glad the kids get along so well. It's surprising how few arguments there were among the kids with so many of them in such close quarters. It's great to have cousins that are close. Dylan and Preston are blessed to have awesome cousins to hang out with and idolize on both sides of the family. :)
It looks like you had so much fun. I would love to do something like that with my family.
That all sounds soooo fun! What a much needed break from reality. I'm with you though, the drive home is always sooooooo long and awful-from any vacation!
Wow, what a fun and busy trip. We have never been on a real family vacation before- I am so jealous! It looks like you had a great time!!
