Vegas, Canyons and a Temple

We went to Las Vegas last week for UEA (school) fall break. Chris had a convention so we tagged along for fun. We stayed at the New York, New York Hotel. Kaitlyn and Cameron rode the scary rollercoaster that loops up and down and all around the hotel.


They loved the M-n-M's store the best. It was fun to see an actual NASCAR race car.

They were creeped out by this talking tree in the Belagio Hotel.

We went to Egypt...

And Paris...

Check out the first blog if you'd like to see a clip of the fountains at the Belagio at night.

Amazing!



On the way home we stopped at the Kolob Canyons in Zion's National Park. The red cliff walls don't show up as bright on camera. It was a beautiful place.




After spending time in "Sin-City" it felt so nice to visit the St. George Temple on our way home. It was the best scenery of the trip. And for all you Utahns...Mark Ubank (weather guy) was our

tour guide in the visitors center. As you can imagine, he tells the story of the temple and it's history really well!


Good times!
