In January we went to Utah. Mike's little bother was returning home from his mission in Texas. Welcome home Justin! This was quite the adventure since we decided to drive to Utah in the middle of January with two kids.
We were lucky enough to break up our trip, so we stayed in at the MGM Grand in Vegas. Before going to the hotel we visited the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. This was so much fun- since there aren't too many kid friendly attractions in Vegas. Thanks to Zippy for telling us all about it. We also got a sweet room-Celebrity Suite- with a huge tub. Mike and the kids took a bubble bath and the kids loved it.
Along the way to Utah we also stopped at historic Cove Fort, which was pretty cool and we got our own personal tour. Out tour guide was this cute old lady that absolutely loved Marley.
After arriving in at the airport and meeting up with all of Mike's family we found out that his brother's plane was delayed due to fog. We sat around waiting for a couple of hours, eventually we left without seeing him get home- the rest of Mike's family did too. The next day we finally got to see Justin.
On our trip Mike had the chance to play basketball with all of his brothers-which hadn't happened since Justin left for his mission. Mike beat all of his brothers except for Jared- but we don't really consider him competition. We also went sledding while we were in Utah. Marley loved it, on the other hand she didn't care for being bundled up. We also played games with all of Mike's family, ate a lot of food, hung out with our two new nieces, and just had fun.
Thanks again to all of our family for such a great trip!

Hey, how did you get a celebrity suite? Is there something you're not telling us? :-)
