Vegas and St. George

I posted this out of order. Before we went to California we went to Las Vegas and St. George and then to California. Ryan ran the St. George Marathon and it was right before fall break so we all got to go and support him.
Vegas is really overrated and I was afraid of what my kids would see. Kate loved all of the lights and just looked out the window and was mesmerized. Jay only wanted to go back to the hotel and sleep and Jack noticed a few things on the billboards but overall they seemed to like Vegas.
Kate, Jack and Jay at the Bellagio's flower garden. Jack and Kate thought it was cool, Jay just wanted to sleep it was after his bedtime.
 Jack outside waiting for the Bellagio water show to start. He really liked all of the light and wanted to drive and walk around more. And then wanted to go back to the Strip during the day to see everything.
 After Vegas we headed up to St. George. I really like St. George it's a nice little big town. It seems like it should be a small town but yet it has everything you need, a mall, good restaurants and such. Ryan even said he would like to move there. I don't know if I'm on board but I could be talked into it maybe.

Here are my kids outside of Brigham Young's winter home. He was a smart man and was a snowbird. The tour guide said that when Brigham Young would go to St. George for the winters then church headquarters would move with him. I think Jack really liked this place because this last fast Sunday he go up to bear his testimony and said he went to St. George and to Brigham Young's house and if you ever get the chance you should go there. I hope this means he felt the spirit there but I really think he just liked seeing an old house.
