Road Trip to Utah

On Sunday June 30 I loaded up the boys and we  started our road trip to Utah to visit my Parents. The boys have been looking forward to this trip ever since school was out. Every time we got in the car Colin would ask if we were going to the upstairs downstairs house. Which I quickly figured out was his description for Grandma and Papa's house. This trip is fast becoming part of our summer traditions.
The first stop on our Trip was Vegas. I almost always chose to drive the southern route because it gives me the chance to stop in Vegas and visit my sister. We made to Vegas around dinner time, but the boys were much too excited to be with their cousins to actually eat anything.
We spent Monday in Vegas just playing. It was really great to break up the long drive.

  First thing in the morning we headed to one of the local parks.It had a splash pad and playground. We got there a little early and had to wait about 30minutes before the water turned on. Colin didn't care he just loved going up and down the play structure.

Later in the afternoon we stopped at the Frozen Frog for the best shaved ice. This was a request from Nathan and the perfect treat on a  hot day.

That night we went to dinner at SkinnyFats. This is one of my favorite places to eat when in Vegas. The food is so good and even my picky eaters were happy.

                                 After dinner we walked to Shake Shack for some custard.

We had a great day. We were up extra early(well at least for me) and stayed up well past bedtime. But all the kids had a great time. And were ready and excited to continue our drive to Utah. The next morning we loaded up, added Aidan and Liam to our car load, and made the drive to Heber City.
