Lessons Learned

We got back from our 13 day vacation extravaganza on Tuesday night. As I look back on the trip, I decided that I learned quite a bit in the last couple weeks. Lets just say that this vaca was done Grizwald style......

Here are a few things I learned in no particular order:

1. Never let Max outside in high altitudes while the sun is shining or his poor little nose will blister!



2. John is capable of making the UGLIEST FACE KNOWN TO MAN if given a sour warhead. My bellybutton is so enormous that you can see it through my shirt...gross!


3. There are apparently people not as excited as I am to go to Nielson's Frozen Custard the minute it opens. (at 10:30 am) This one I will never understand, who should have to drag their kids to get custard, what kind of a world am I raising my kids in nowadays?


4. Temple reflection pools have to be cooled down too even though no one swims in them. We didn't get to see the reflection due to the "cooling system", but the boys were down for a pose or two.


5. I forgot how much I love the scenery and red rocks or good ole AZ. I need to get back to the Canyon!!


6. How picky Max really is. While all the cousins shoveled candy into their baskets, Max is happy to pick through piece by piece to find the two or three pieces he would like....he' so funny like that!


7. My kids no longer require a babysitter, all I need to do is buy another Nintendo DS and call it good.


8. After a long trip, nothing is better than sleeping in your own bed!!


I learned many other things that I sadly don't have pics for such as what my Mother in Law looks like naked and how cranky a 7 month prego can get on a 24 hour car ride, but I think those are better mental images anyways!
