Last weekend Caeldton and I took a trip to Las Vegas! We stayed with Storey and Ben and Brooks. (Bro0ks was the real draw.) We stopped in Provo on the way down and ate dinner. Caeldton (despite his aversion to Cougars) loves the Brick Oven. It didn't take him long to realize that almost everything on the menu ends in bar: pasta bar, salad bar, soup bar, etc. Anyway, we had a nice drive down and he fulfilled his "right of passage" into the Toone Family on the way there as he read The Fart Book to me. We both laughed really hard. I may have laughed harder. I have too many fond memories associated with that book. Perhaps the tears were not from laughing so hard, maybe it was the fondness.
Saturday, Storey, Caeldton and I went to Red Rock and hiked. Ben hadn't been feeling too hot so he stayed home with Brooks. Thanks Ben! Storey has been a little obsessed with the Twilight Series and was anxious to watch the new movie so I think that would explain why she would often try to bound up large boulders and trees as if she might take flight. Edward was with her! Thank goodness no blood was spilt. The hike was lots of fun. Caeldton and Storey kept kicking sand at eachother. I had to be the parent. Storey packed some super-awesome lunches. The view was amazing and we had fun talking with eachother as Caeldton expored.
Sunday we went to church. It's always fun to go to a ward somewhere else. It's wonderful to feel the spirit and strength of members where ever you go. The missionaries joined us for dinner and they had a delicious meal! Storey did a good job with dinner even though she was exhausted to the point of silliness. I made a pie for dessert. The missionaries will do better work because of the food they ate that night!
Caeldton and Brooks became fast friends and they will miss each other. They both became expert spitters to the point of us almost investing in some rain slickers. Too bad they don't sell those in Las Vegas. Between spit and drool.....it's a good thing they live in the desert. Thanks Stor and Ben and Brooks for a great weekend!
