Vegas baby!

This past weekend we went to . . . Vegas! Ok, it's not as glamorous as it sounds. We went to help move Trav's mom-not excatly a vacation. Now we have never met anyone who loves moving. Now yes there is the arguement, "it's nice to go through stuff and purge it" -True, but "nice" isn't "loving to move"-packing everything in boxes, hauling it into a truck, then un-hauling it, and un-packing. Now picture trying to do this with someone else's house, with your three adorable, yet energy-filled children, while you're staying at the house, and the stuff goes into 3 different places:

1-a storage unit
2-with Mom
3-with you (cause it has no where else to go)


Crazy I know. Actually, with all things considered, it all went fairly well. Travis was a great little truck driver/hauler extrodinair. Amber packed and directed (one of her many talents). And the kids were pretty good with all the excitement and lack of sleep. We arrived home Sunday night in decent time and no one had gone crazy! (Quite a feat traveling alone with 2 kids and 1 baby)
During some of the down time, we hung out at Papa & Oma's. The kids love the dog-they gave her a bath and enjoyed being kids after!!

Sounds like you guys had a fun but tiring trip! I remember loving to give our dog a bath when I was younger- what is it about a stinky wet dog?!
