Nesbit Family Reunion...We're There!

It was great to get together with the Nesbit-side of Charlie's family (Mom's side). Sadly, we hardly see them...but hope to make this "reunion" a frequent thing.




Here we all are. The younger cousins...amazingly enough...are all close in age and had so much fun playing while the adults visited...soccer, tag, playing in the stream & water fountain, even flying a kite.


Seth and AndreAna had a run-in and a head collision was involved. And, yes, they still wear the same size shoes despite the fact that AndreAna is 3 years older.

We visited some friends from Arizona who had moved to Cedar City, Utah...every time the boys drive by Keegan & Trevor's old house they ask when we can go visit again!

AND, we visited an old friend from Vegas...Craig & Robin Harter and their kids. I have to apologize...we kinda of "surprised" people with visits...we don't like to PLAN our vacations too much.
And we had to see the St. George LDS Temple...beautiful...as if we expected anything less.
Poor Dylan escaped most of the pictures this weekend...the wind wasn't his friend...his allergies acted up so we tried to shield him as much as possible...but he was still HAPPY!
On the way home, as I posted previously...we went through Vegas (literally drove right through...we didn't stop to see ANYONE...sorry) and thought it would be cool to post these pictures of the new pass being built through Hoover Dam. Crazy to think some day soon we'll be zipping by it all.

It was an excellent visit...can't wait for next year (?)...at any rate...at least we decided the boys could handle to SUMMER road trip to Oregon.

And I couldn't resist posting this one...I'm sure you can imagine how hard and long we laughed after passing this on the freeway in Utah...ONLY IN UTAH...sorry if any of you have one...it REALLY is FUNNY!


Aren't you proud...I posted BEFORE the end of the month!

Nesbit Family Reunion...Getting There

So the weekend of April 19th we took a pre-summer road trip to St. George, Utah for a family reunion. On the drive there we decided to drive North through Page, AZ and into Utah...this should have been around a 9 hour drive. The night before we drove to Flagstaff, AZ to shorten it a bit. Then we drove North.


We stopped at the Glen Canyon Dam for the boys to stretch...and I made sure I wasn't wearing a skirt like Devry so I didn't give anyone a show...it's REALLY windy there :)

We also thought we would venture through Zion National Park for a picturesque drive (don't do that unless you have LOTS of time...it took us 8 hours to get from Flagstaff, AZ to St. George, UT...normally a 5 hour drive)! But, it was BEAUTIFUL.


So that little tiny hole the boys are pointing to in the side of the mountain...that would be an "air hole" in the TUNNEL that we had to drive through. YES, we had to drive THROUGH the MOUNTAIN! For any of you who know how claustrophobic I am...it was memorable to say the least...we drove home through Vegas :)
