Thanksgiving and More!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving dinner! We had lots of yummy food and a great time spent with family. We took some family pictures, that I wanted to post, but have not received yet. We did a little bit of shopping on black friday, but didn't have much to buy. We already did shopping for ourselves, and so we just shopped for other family members. Didn't get very far. Oh well, we still have about 24 more days, right?

Anyway, this upcoming month is full for us. I will keep posting and hopefully can snap a few pics also.

Love everyone and hope you all have a good holiday season!

Las Vegas Trip!!!

Logan and I had a couple of days off of work and we decided that we needed to go on a little trip-just he and I. So we decided on going to Las Vegas! We had so much fun! We drove down Friday afternoon and took all day Saturday to walk around, visit places, and just see the town. It was really exciting for both of us because it was both of our first time going there. We started out a pawn shop that now has their own show called Pawn Stars and we really enjoy the show and thought we would go check out the actual place.

Me Standing in front of New York, New York. It was really cool. Logan really liked that one!

I liked the castle! It was sooooo big! It was called Excalibur...funny!

This is in front of the Bellagio. For those of you who have been lucky enough to see Las Vegas at night, you will know how amazingly cool the fountain show at the Bellagio is! I put a short clip of it at the end of this blog. They did a different song, with each show and they did them every hour starting at 3pm. We caught the first show and a little bit of a night show. We loved it! Probably our favorite!

Some of the other places we went to was M&M World, the Coca-Cola shop, and the Luxar hotel. We also went to the Human Body Exhibit. It was really neat. Very educational.

After we left Vegas on Sunday morning, we drove to Zion's national park and decided to see how close we could get to Angel's Landing before it got dark.

This is what you see when you start the hike...very beautiful. But this hike was not just beautiful scenery. It was quite the hike! It was only 2.5 miles and we thought it would be no problem!

This is just a small portion of the trail. Most of the begining was full of steep switch backs, then it flattens out a little bit, then you hit this wall of all switch-backs!

This is the edge of the trail...you are supposed to hold onto the chain to keep from falling.

Once you get to the first landing, you look across and see that you have to follow that thin trail all the way to the top to reach angel's landing! Scary to look at!

This was the thinnest part of the trail. They had a chain that was strung along the steep and thin part of the trail to keep from losing balance and what not. They were very nice for the steep parts to help pull yourself up!

It was a very tough hike, but the view was gorgeous!

Very happy couple to have survived the hike!

After hiking we went to the hotel and had a nice relaxing evening-we were so exhasted. (We are both so sore!) Then got up on Monday and came home. We had such a nice weekend! We can't wait for the next trip we can take. We would really like to go back to Vegas again sometime.

That was our weekend!
