Labor Day

We went down to Vegas for the holiday weekend. It was a quick trip, but we had a great time. We live in CA and were definitely going to get caught in the traffic to Vegas with every other Californian so we went up through the Sonora pass. It was BEAUTIFUL! I think Jake said, "wow this beautiful" at least every 5 minutes (he is so adorable!). The drive was a little longer than we expected because the mountain was very steep. We enjoyed our ride down though! These are a few pictures from our drive through the "back streets of CA."

Once we got to Vegas we spent time with family and had a great time! We were able to meet up with one of Jake's mission companions and his family. I was nervous because they only spoke Spanish, and I don't speak much... really none at all! But it went a lot better than I thought. I had such a good time and I feel that they became such dear friends so quickly. The language barrier wasn't really a barrier at all. 

We got to spend time with our niece and our nephews while we were there too! We went bowling, played hide and seek, and everyone came over for a big delicious breakfast! We had so much fun. We wished we lived closer to our family so we could see them more often. It was such a fun trip. On our way home we drove through SoCal (Jake wan't thrilled by the idea of driving through the steep mountain again). Can't wait for our next trip!

Jake recently started calling me Kimberlina and then we saw this road sign and thought it was funny!

Please disregard the bug guts on our windshield!
