Warning: LOTS of Pics!

On Friday we found Grandma Trapp in Utah! Yay! WE went to the Gateway and did a little site seeing.


Cedric went to Build-A-Bear Workshop and got himself a new friend whom he named, Cedric the Great and he is 17 years old.

Tristan and Cedric at Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
It was snowing up at Snowbird Ski Resort
On Friday night Grandma Trapp took the boys to my brother, David's house, and had tons of fun there. Meanwhile Jeremy and I met Justine and her husband, Eric, and Lauren and her boyfriend, Donald at Rodizio Grill for supper! OOOOOHHH, it was so good! After that Jeremy and I went to see Jeff Foxworthy at the Delta Center....I refuse to call it the Energy Solutions Arena! He was really good and had this crazy opening group called the Standards. They were like this kinda creepy weird country boy band...with a twist. I don't know, it was strange. I forgot to take pictures of any of it!!!! I'm so annoyed.
On Saturday we went to Thanksgiving Point to the world's largest dinosaur museum. The kid's loved it although Liam through his first and only fit of the trip there!

That's a prehistoric sea turtle!!!!!

Tristan with the Megalodon

The water was freakin freezing!!!
This is an exit between Vegas and L.A. Zzyzx Rd. WOW.
So, on saturday we drove to Vegas thinking we would get a room and then drive the rest of the way to California on Sunday. What a nightmare!!!! I had told Jeremy that Vegas sucked and he has now witnessed it first hand. WE wasted two hours there looking for a decent place to stay, wwhen we decided to just leave. We then stopped at the next town and rented a room only to realize when we got to the room that we had stepped into the movie, The Shining!!! Redrum, Redrum!!!! So we quickly left and got a refund. Drove to the next town and stayed at this creepy hotel that was just barely better than the last one. I tried to get a picture but, somehow it looks better in a picture than it actually was. Anyway, we didn't get undressed and laid on top of the blankets. The beds were still made when we left at 6:30 in the morning!

We arrived in L.A. at 11:00am !!! Yahoo!

Oay, so in the video, it's when we first got there and I sound like the beach nazi! But, I did lighten up and let the kids get in the water and play. In fact Tristan got his entire body in a lot and almost got sucked out to sea by going out too far. Tristan sat right down in the water and I don't know how he didn't get hypothermia. Even though it's about 60-70 degrees right now...the water is not.
Tomorrow we head to Disney!!!!
Oh, and Liam ended up loving the ocean and getting in it alot. I don't know why I didn't get more video. We had to drag the kids away!
