Vegas and the zoo... and a bit extra...

So this past weekend, my mom and I ventured down to Vegas to help Ali pack her life up into a million boxes. On the way down, we stopped in St. George and saw Tarzan at the Tuacahn Theatre. It was cool. Ali brought the girls up and met us there. Morgan enjoyed the show and was way better than my kids would have been! (This is before the show, she is watching Hidalgo... random show for a kid, I know!)

Here is the stage, it was cool, they flooded the stage in the beginning when the parents are in the storm. Driving in, Ali and I decided we felt like we were in The Host. (it's a book.)

Morgan meeting Tarzan's ape mom...

Morgan wanted a princess dress made out of curtains... I think of it as Mulan meets Sound of Music...

We had dinner at the zoo for my mom's annual Rotarty Family Picnic. It was fun because they would bring random animals out for the kids to see. This is a penguin. Oh, you knew? Sorry!

This was Kate's reaction to everything at the zoo... she would say "yook"...

Kate on a chicken...

Tanner and Morgan on the airplane ride...

Kate loving the carousel... she cried when we got off, so we went again!!!

Here is the bit extra...

Kate going at Tanner's mega lollypop from Disneyland...

Some of you may know that my family loves to ski. Cory and I even met on a chairlift. But this kinda explains my brother and his friends need to ski. Apparently they are having withdrawls because they built this in my parent's backyard. It kept us all entertained, kids included, for quite a while!

and while I was typing this post, Shannon's sweet mother, Miss Annie, from Alabama knocked on my door! It was a wonderful surprise! Tanner was missing Isaac terribly yesterday and it was fun to see his Grammy today!
