Rainbows are always beautiful which makes it hard to brag about one rainbow in particular but I am going to try on this one. The photo of this rainbow was taken in my front yard just before sunset on a rainy fall day. It was so bright and each color was so pronounced and intense, I wish my camera could have captured how truly bright it was. I don’t think I have ever seen a rainbow with such intense colors before. Maybe the fall colors around it made it seem brighter than usual but regardless, it was absolutely beautiful! I am glad I had my camera handy!

Vegas Vacation

On Thursday we packed up the car and headed South to Vegas.

Our first stop was at a gas station in Fillmore. Has anyone heard of Abba-Zaba? Adam says that this was a favorite treat for his family growing up so he bought me one (he ate most of it). It was ok, kind of like Bit-O-Honey but in my opinion not as good. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever heard of it?

My next story needs a little background information first. Now if you know Adam, every second from the time that we get up the morning of vacation until we reach the hotel is on a strict time schedule. Bathroom breaks are kept to a minimum and eating is usually done in the car, so this next story is quite unusual to say the least. We decided to stop at a McDonalds in Cedar City for lunch. Due to the love of his new car, he choose to let us eat inside the restaurant this time. As we entered the restaurant, there was a BREAKING NEWS story on the T.V. about a boy who floated away in a home made balloon. It was so unusual that we wasted 45 minutes inside McDonalds watching this story unfold! It was so funny to watch peoples reaction when they read the screen for the first time. We left right after it landed and no boy was found inside. We had to wait until we checked into our hotel (3 hours later) to find out what the new developments were. By then he had been found in the attic of their home and the speculations were already flying around about a hoax. To be honest, it would have made a better story if he was found alive & well inside the balloon but it sure made for an interesting story at first.

Here are some random pictures of Freemont Street and the U of U game.

One more funny story. I hesitate embarrassing Michael on this one but it's too funny not to share plus, it's my right as his mother to embarrass my kids whenever I want. On the morning of the Utah Game we decided that it would be worth it to pay more money for a big breakfast since we wouldn't be eating again until the game that evening. Well, Michael kind of threw a fit because he claims that there is never anything good for breakfast at the buffet. Well, we went anyway and Adam told me to not recommend anything to him and to just leave him alone to pick whatever he wanted. Do you want to know what his choice of food was??

I know your dying to know...
