our little vacation: part 2

Our next stop for our vacation was supposed to be hiking and camping in Zions National Park, but since the weather was not looking good, we decided we would rather go to the next step of our trip early -- Las Vegas! I had never been to Vegas so we decided that while we are close, we might as well explore. We booked a last minute room with a hotel on the strip and relaxed in luxury which was much needed after sleeping in our car ;). We had a fun time exploring all of the hotels and relaxing at the pool during the hot day. We even made great friends with a Lady from Brazil while at the pool! On our way out we visited the Las Vegas Temple, and the store from the show Pawn Stars. After Vegas we drove to St. George and got to spend time with Josh's mission president and his wife. It was awesome to be able to hang out with them, go to dinner, learn a new and amazing waffle recipe, and learn a new game called green bowling. From St. George we headed to Hurricane to participate in Peach Days with Josh's aunts and uncles and their family. It was fun to be able to see and spend time with them!

Temple grounds

The float that we drove in the parade. Well, not really a float. But those water bottles they were throwing our were a HUGE hit. It was hilarious to watch children and adults alike wave their hands and shout out for one.
