Arizona and The Grand Canyon.

I am playing big catch up, yet again. Man will I ever get my act straight and keep things current?? maybe, although don't hold your breath.

Back at the end of October the three of us headed to sunny Arizona for our nephew Alek's baptism. 
It was beautifully warm and we loved being able to spend several days with family.
One of the days we were able to visit the Grand Canyon.
Wow, right? It was the first time either Mike or I had ever been, and it was breath taking!

We spent all day walking around, having a tail gate type lunch, seeing crazy people stand on ledges, etc. It was fantastic. It was slightly cold seeing as it was November and all, but that didn't stop us from doing much.



Breathtaking, right???




The rest of the weekend was spent being with family, and being involved with Alek's special day. It started off with a soccer game...yes in November! Then onto the baptism, which was perfect!!
We are so proud of him for choosing to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. After the baptism, Mike and the rest of his family had to get into the car and make their way back to ID. I however had a round trip flight ticket, because if you've ever been in a car with T you will know that flying is a better alternative. ha ha. So Saturday night and Sunday morning T and I got spend some quality time with cousins! It was a wonderful trip and I am so grateful that we all 3 got to go, and be apart of such a great experience!

Day 7: The last day

Friday was our last day there. It was full of relaxing, packing, and traveling home.

We had a blast on vacation, and we are so grateful for the opportunity we had to be able to go!!
Thanks to my family for being so willing to take us with you, and for letting us have fun after such a tough summer!!

Jex Family Vacation: Day 6

Day 6: We split up today, half of us went to D.L. and the other half went to the beach.
 
Trenton, Grandma, Aunt McKell, and I went to Disney Land to meet the characters!
We all had a lot of fun, and it was a nice relaxed day!!










Trenton did much better with the characters, he wanted see them and be next to them...
just not touched by them.

Jex Family Vacation: Day 5

Day 5 was California Adventures!

It was yet again another fun filled day!!


 This cute worker would stop what he was doing whenever a street showing was near him and would dance around. It was entertaining to watch, and we thought he was adorable!

Jex Family Vacation: Day 4

Day 4 was: The San Diego Temple and Sea World.

We were able to drive to San Diego to go see the temple and were able to do some work there.
It was the most beautiful temple I've been too!!!

After the temple we hit the Corvette Dinner for some yummy lunch and then headed to Sea World!
I love dolphins, always have and probably always will. 
I dream of swimming with them one day!! Bucket list people!!! 
It was so incredible to be able to touch one while watching the trainer dolphin show.






We also watched the Whale show, it was ok....
I wish the trainers were able to actually get in the water with the whales like they used to.




And yet again, Trenton slept...

Trenton's favorite part was the shark exhibit, um No thank you!





 


Mike's favorite part was the turtles! He loves turtles!!
