Stop in Vegas

After SLC we stopped in Vegas to see out old friends the Pettitts.  It was such a quick stop but worth it to see them.  Connor used to play with their puppy Rocky when he was first brought home.  

 On our way home we had some car trouble.  Our tire blew at about 9pm as we were exiting the freeway to check out a strange sound.  We pulled into a casino parking lot that we were passing and checked it out.  When the tire blew it knocked the gas tank line with it so Scott waited for a tow truck while I took the kids in a cab, around 10pm, to a nearby hotel casino.  I managed to get all four TIRED boys and about 6 bags/backpacks and 2 car seats through the casino before some nice women stopped to ask if I needed help.  The boys knocked out fast in the bed in to hotel.  Turned out not to be so bad as we thought and Scott rigged up the gas line and found a 24hr used tire store in Vegas so he got the problem fixed and we were ready to go in the morning.  We checked out the awesome pool and a yummy buffet before we headed out though.  Vegas doesn't like our cars, we've had bad luck there before, but this stop was an unplanned fun adventure after all.

Stopping in SLC

On our way home from the Tetons we stopped in Salt Lake to see my aunt and uncle.  We had fun in their community pool and my uncle Curtis took us out on his boat the next morning too.  It was a fast trip but fun to see them.

Trip to the Tetons

After the baptism we joined most of Jenn's side of the family for a trip up to the Tetons.  We stayed in a beautiful house there for a week.  We took a trip to a hot spring pool and had some fun with our waterproof camera.

 The boys took up fishing!  Scott made the first catch!

 The next morning we work up early and brought the boys to teach them how.

 It was a little chilly but we had a blast!

 Connor catching his first fish!

 Unfortunately right after this pic the fish jumped off the line and back into the water.

 We took a nice hike toward devils staircase.

 Our boys and their cousins.

 Our family hiking.

 Katie's family.

 Passing  some rapids.

 We cut our hike short because we found this nice deer's hoof right along the trail.  It is sign of bears in the area so we decided to turn back.

 Dennis caught a fish too, but a little too small.

 Cool view!

 Sweet sweet sleeping baby!

 Me and Haydn hanging out in the back seat!

 The Teton's are just gorgeous!

 We went canoeing one afternoon on Jenny Lake.  They boys all got a ride.  It was a highlight of the trip.

 We went hiking a little more too.

 We celebrated my mom's birthday.

 Katie and Connor being silly!

 While we were in Idaho we went to visit the graves of my Grandpa Hall and his parents.

It was an amazing trip!
