Family Vacation 2013

This trip was in the plan for 2 years. Mostly because it was all for a family reunion that my parents were in charge of and they really wanted their kids to come and offered to pay for all the hotels...sure we'll go! Since we had school off for 2 1/2 days we extended the family reunion trip to make it our family trip for the year. We had so much fun! And the family reunion really topped it off!

First stop: Las Vegas! Stayed with Jerek's sister, Tara, and her husband, Jamie. Our first night there, Em got sick. All. night. Long. So we stayed at their house for the day. Thank goodness no one else got it and we were ready to play when Monday rolled around. We went to Adverturedome in Circus Circus. We were pretty much the only ones there so yah for no waiting in lines! We had such a great time.

While in Vegas, we also saw the fountains at Bellagio. And went to Halloween Town. 

Next stop, Grand Canyon! We swung by the Hoover Dam on our way. It was late at night but I think I got a pretty good shot.

The Grand Canyon was beautiful!! And so COLD! As we were hiking down into the canyon, it started to snow. Didn't stick, thank goodness, but it was so cold.... Our favorite part was hiking.

And then from there we went to Zion's National Park. Which is just as equally beautiful! We meet up with all the family and went trick-or-treating in the Hotel! Super fun with all their cousins!
