When Grandpa Turns 90, You're There

The illustrious paterfamilias of the Magleby clan turned 90 in March, which, as I'm sure you must agree, is a huge accomplishment.  We all thought so, at least, so we turned up en masse to celebrate with him.  All of grandpa's sons, most of his grandchildren, and all of his great-grandchildren were there.  We love him!

We also love St. George, and we'll take any excuse we can to hike around the beautiful area.

Since we were already so far south, we decided to go just a bit farther to visit Eli's girlfriend Gwen in their new house in Phoenix.  Carson and her family were wonderful hosts!  We loved hanging out with them.

We also got to spend a day with Great-Grandma and Grandpa Allred.  I hope my children will someday realize how lucky they are to have 4 grandparents and 8 great-grandparents around to love and spoil them.

On the long drive back up north we spent a few days in Las Vegas.  It was one of those things that SOUNDS so fun to do with kids (we slept in a CASTLE, for crying out loud) and it was!  They loved the pool, M&M world, the Bellagio fountains, and all the lights and sounds.  BUT we definitely ended up carrying them waaaaaay more than I would have liked, I was terrified of losing them in the crowds, and a few of those billboards elicited some very awkward questions from Eli. 

By the end of the trip we were just thrilled to have us (and our car) home in one piece.
