What a Weekend!

Memorial Day weekend was a crazy one for us. It all started Thursday. I had a brilliant idea to take Max to go and see Thomas the Train at the Heber Valley Railroad. Max absolutely loves trains and so I thought that he would have a great time. We got there an hour before our train ride to see all of the Thomas related activities that were going on. Max absolutely loved the petting zoo. He walked around and would pet and brush the pony and donkey and even the camel. He thought they were great. We then went to the bubble station. They had huge wands so you could make giant bubbles. That was awesome until another little kid came up to Max and hit Max it the face with his bubble wand. Bubble solution got in the eyes and hysterics ensued. The mom of the little boy was standing right by me and her only comment was: "Did he hit him?" I was like yeah can't you see my kid freaking out! I didn't say that but come on. After we got Max calmed down we went and played with all of the train sets while we waited for our train ride. Finally it was our turn. Max really liked the train ride and he didn't want any help to sit or stand on the bench and look out at the horses and cows we passed. But I don't have any good pictures of this event becuase every time Max saw the camera he flipped out. He did not want his picture taken. On the way home we ate dinner at a yummy mexican place in Park City called El Chubasco.
Friday we had to work, pack and drive to Las Vegas. Taryn plays baseball on a team that plays tournaments in Phoenix and Las Vegas. Memorial Day weekend was Vegas. My parents were so nice to take Max while we went there. Max had a great time with them. On the drive down to Vegas we didn't go over 40 mph until we hit Payson. Holy crap that took a long time. We stayed in Henderson while we were there. On the way to the first game at 7 am we were on the freeway when car pulls up along side of us and starts yelling profanities at us and flashing all of these gang signs. I didn't know that fingers could move like that. All Taryn and I could do was just stare. They must be very dedicated gang bangers to be that aggressive at 7am. The games proved to be uneventful that day but later that night we went shopping on the strip and went to the the Cirque du Soleil(?) Beatles LOVE show. It was totally awesome and we got a heck of a deal. The tickets were 40% off and then they upgraded our seats when we got to the show. It was incredible!
Taryn had another game on Sunday again very uneventful. We ate at In-n-out burger and now I understand what the big deal is. It is yummy! We went shopping again that night. We drove home on Monday. Played with Max for a few hours and then continued the crazy weekend. Before we had decided to go to Vegas I bought tickets for the No Doubt concert, saying it was for my birthday. Taryn was such a good sport to go to such a girly concert. I have loved No Doubt since like Junior high days and Paramore played with them. It was actually a great show but the parking was horrible. They were charging 20$ to park. Crazy. We parked at Taryn's office down the street and walked. Then back to the real world on Tuesday. We spent this last weekend finally recovering from our crazy memorial day weekend.
Wow that was long but I finally had something to share. I will post pictures later.
3 days until school is out!
