Spring Break: The Drive Home + a FUN stop

We took our time getting home.  We had to clean the house and wash towels and sheets in the morning, so there was no way we were going to leave earlier than noon.  We had a couple of places we still wanted to go, like Trader Joe's  :)  We didn't really hit the freeway until 1:30ish. 

I was concerned about the traffic on the way to Las Vegas, but it was no problem at all.  Otis and Milli fell asleep and that made the trip a little easier.   Milli's head kept on "falling" down so Abuela made a head "strap" for her....

 

The trip was pretty uneventful, with the exception of ALMOST loosing my phone in a gas station bathroom.  When we stopped to get gas and a few treats, Milli had just woken up and ONLY wanted her favorite person in the whole world, me :).  She would not let go of me so I had to do my business with her hanging on to me like a baby monkey holds on to her momma.  I carefully, placed my phone on top of the toilet paper holder thingy.  Then, apparently left it there.  

We had probably driven about 30-40 mins when I realized my phone was GONE!  I had LEFT IT!!!  AAAAAHHHH!!!!  I wanted to cry, but I didn't.  We quickly called the phone.  No answer.  Called the gas station to see if someone had turned in the phone or if it was still there on top of the TP thingy, wishful thinking, yes, but I could dream right?  Well, no such luck.  There was nothing.  DANG IT!!!! 

We called my phone again and this time someone answered AND they said they were bringing me the phone.  Really?  Wow!  Aren't you so nice?!?!?  Anyway, they said they were traveling north on i-15 and that we could meet up.  So after getting our car description form each other, we decided to pull over on the side of the freeway.  Two minutes later, literally, the phone was back in my hands!!!!!  

YAY!  SO glad, that the people who had grabbed were right behind us and that they decided to be honest and return it to me.  That would have sucked!!!!!!  

If I hadn't gotten my phone back we wouldn't of had such a FABULOUS night with our friends the Manwarrings.  Crissy and Jason were in the married-student ward with us.  I LOVE Crissy.  She is one of the smartest people I know and by far one of my kindest friends!  

The kids loved playing with their little man Alex.  Milli and him REALLY hit it off  ;) ;)

Crissy, my mom, Leah and I had an impromptu Miche Bag Party!  SO FUNNNN!!!!!  We chit chatted and had yummy Chinese/Thia/Japanese food.  It was yummy! 

After a super fun night we headed to our hotel and the kids played in the tub and we attempted to sleep for the long drive back to Bountiful.  When we got home our house was a cool 48degrees!  IT WAS FREEEEEEZING!  It took 4hrs+ to get to a regular temp.  But, there is nothing like sleeping in our big ol' bed. 

The trip was SO much fun!  We had a fantastic time.  We created some fun memories and really enjoyed ourselves.  The kids all slept in the same bed and the night became one of my favorite times of the day.  We would talk about the day (as usual) and then read a book that Leah had brought from school.  We would discuss tomorrow activities and then lots and lots of laughing! 

Me (whispering): Milli, want to go to the zoo tomorrow?

Milli (loudly): Whach you said?

Me (whispering and slightly giggling): want to go to the zoo tomorrow?

Milli (louder): Whach you saaaaiiid?!

Me (whispering and laughing):  Want. to. go. to. the. zoo. tomorrow?

Milli (VERY loud):  WHACH YOUUUUU SAAAAIIIIDDDD?  SAY IT LOUD-DER!

all of us:  LAUGHING OUT LOUD.  cause she was SO cute! 

Now we constantly say, "whach you said? whach you said? SAY IT LOUD-DER!!!"

GREAT TIMES!!!!!
