Resent Vacation

This is what the roads looked like in Utah, it was freezing!
i We went to Red Rock Canyon with Jacenta and her kids. It was a fun day!
Devin, Jacob, Caden, Brock, Austin, and Jenavive decided to go hiking!
Karley and Natalia decided to do a little hiking of their own!
Colby taught the cousins how to climb steep mountain walls! Rule # 1. Never try to sit up while climbing (Karley obviously ignored this part of the instruction)!
While in Las Vegas we went to the Mack King Comedy and Magic Show. During the show Mack King said that he wanted a couple of kids to come on the stage with him. Everybody pointed to Jacob and Caden. When Mack King approached our table to invite Caden and Jacob to the stage, they both hid under our table. It did not work and they both went on the stage!
Jacob, Caden, and Karley spent hours in this game room at the Wyndom resort playing video games!
This is Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Max Weaver at their 70th Wedding Anniversery in Orem Utah.
Caden, ice skating in Park City Utah!
Jacob wanted Colby to go ice skating but he said he had a hurt shoulder! The real reason, it was 12 degrees outside and he did not want to get shown up!
Jacob and Caden practicing for the 2020 Olympics!
Karley wanted to ice-skate also!
After a few hours of performing ice-skating tricks she wanted to rest up inside!
Colby took us to the Davis County Cemetary in Kaysville Utah. He showed us where our relatives are buried. The Grave-sites included the Weavers who immigrated from England and all those who passed away a couple of generations later! Colby served part of his mission in Kaysville four-teen years ago. The apartment in which he stayed at was only a mile away from the cemetary! We then went to Layton, Utah, and visited with Harris Adams. He was Colby's land-lord when he served part of his Mission in Layton, in the summer of 1994. Harris still remembered Colby after all these years! Colby's Grand-father, Max Weaver, grew up in Layton. Harris Adams and Max Weaver were neighbors. This was colby's apartment in layton Utah ( 2000 Antelope Drive) . Harris Adams house was just to the right of it. Colby's grandfather Max said that he used to visit friends at this house when he was a kid in the 1920's. Colby's Great Uncle Donald Weaver lives just down the street from Colby's apartment. Colby said that Donald and his wife Gene always had him over for dinner while he was there. Jacob and Caden over looking the Saltlake temple!
This is in the lobby of the Joseph Smith building in Salt Lake City.
Our Family over-looking the temple!
This is At the Darrel Mangum home inLas Vegas Nevada. Can you believe all that snow!
More of Uncle Darrel's home in Vegas!
Snow in the mojave desert! We were lucky to get home because for a couple of days all the passes going to Caifornia were closed!

What fun for your kids to play in the snow! Our Arizona grandkids always feel cheated at this time of the year when we say we have snow. It looks like you had a great, fun-filled trip.
