Labor Day Weekend: a new Yukon, Trip to Vegas, Baptism, and Mesquite

Good-bye Suburban.  We have loved you.  You have been dependable but it's time to get a ride that is bit newer and even more reliable.

Alyssa was sad and wanted a picture with our suburban.  I don't have a picture of the GMC Yukon but let's just saw we love our new ride.  It is a 2007 with lots of comfort.  

LAS VEGAS

We work up at 5:30am and we were driving down I-15 by 6:00am.  I even opened the sunroof on the Yukon, not because we wanted to be cook, but because the boys' feet were so stinky, we couldn't breathe!  We ended up stopping in Fillmore for a feet washing from each of the sons.  Thankfully.

When we arrived in Vegas, Brandon had a concerned look on his face. Most of his kids were sick with fevers and throwing up.  Since everybody had come from out of town, he and Charlotte were in a bind about going through with the baptism. They decided to, but not without a bowl.  I held little Brevan throughout the service.  It was like holding a live, burning furnace.  Poor baby was so fevered and sick.  Our Sydney was so sick, she couldn't hardly smile.  But the service was wonderful and special for the twins.

 When Dave learned how sick the family was, he told us to leave for home.  He found a nice hotel in Mesquite for us to stay in so we went.  There was a beautiful pool and hot tub that we enjoyed.  So even though we spent a lot of time on the road, we were spoiled with a little mini vacation.
