Family Vacation!!!

Warning – This is kind of a long post with a lot of pictures!!
My parents took my whole family on a trip to Mesquite!! It was so much fun. Our whole family was able to come except Mercedes, we missed her. We left Sunday morning, May 1st and got there around 4:00. I was starting to think maybe we weren't suppose to be going because when we left Ft. Green we drove up to check on our sheep and of course they were out so Mike got them back in the field and then we were off……. or so I thought. When we got on the divide just about to drop down into the canyon there was girl pulled off the road broke down. We had to come back to Ft. Green to get some things so Mike could fix her car. By the time we finally got on the road the girls had already been in the car for an hour!!! Anyway we made it down there safe and sound!
When we got there we ordered pizza in and then went outside and ate on the lawn. It was SO nice to be outside and not freeze! Now for the those of you who are wondering, no my girls cant eat pizza but I brought down the things I would need to make them there own low protein pizza and then we had a lot of yummy fruit and green salad to go with it!!
