Family Vacation!!!

WARNING!!!
This is really long and lots and lots of pictures so beware!!!
We took off Monday and went to Vernal Ut. We drove forever! Not really but with 3 kids it felt like forever. We decided to go to the new Ice age movie dawn of the Dinosaurs movie. The older kids loved it. Jace was horrible and I missed the first half of the movie and Dusty missed the last half.

The next morning we got up and went to the Dinosaur museum. That was the main reason we went all the way to Vernal.


Jace was kind of scared and we had to hold him the whole time.

Brance loves dino's. He was so excited. He says he wants to be a dino hunter when he gets bigger.


They had lots of little kid stuff. There was digging for bones also that they really liked.


This was probably there favorite. Not even a dino, but it was in the movie they went to and it was huge so the loved it.


Like I said Brance loved all the great big Dino's.


After the Museum we took off to Flaming George.
It was about an hour away. We took a picnic and the kids loved playing in the water. In fact they well all tell you it was there favorite part of vacation.

They got into a water fight with water bottles. They also played Frisbee with there dad for a while.

Jace thinks he is so big! He had to try and get his dad.

I liked this action shot of Brance throwing the frisbee and Morgan getting ready to catch it.

We stopped at the Damn and took a quick picture on the way back to Vernal. We spent one more night in Vernal and then took off for home.
We made it to Park City and found a room for one more night. We had drove long enough. We were having to much fun to go home.

I know this pregnant lady was sick of the drive, and not ready to go back to cleaning and chasing kids alone again just yet.
Jace sits on my stomach all the time. I think he is going to miss his seat when it is gone. I know I won't miss it.

Brance loves staying in hotel's.

Morgan got this mammoth the the museum so she asked me to take a picture of her with it. She loves it.

We went to a place with some blow up toys. Jace hated it. What a waste of 5 dollars! This was as far as he would get on it.

Morgan and Brance had a BLAST!!

Morgan is so Brave. Sometimes I wish she would hold still and be a little more of a girl.

Look at her... she was going so fast she face planted it.

The worst part of the whole trip... we were all sick. Jace had an ear infection last we and gave it to all of us. When I say all of us I mean Dad, Mom and every kid. We all had nasty coughs and yucky noses the whole vacation. Well Jace didn't, he was done by the time we all got it.
There are a lot of pics here and I have so so many more. We had a really good time. We don't get out much so we try to do fun things for our kids that we can afford and that we can enjoy as a family. I'm glad to be home and back to normal. I just wish the laundry fairy would make a visit at my house.

What a fun vacation! Stinks everyone was sick, but still looks like good memories! I love the pic of Jace on your stomach. Grant always sat on mine too. Adam hated it, but I told him maybe it would make the baby come out sooner :) I admit I kinda miss the plae to prop him up :)
