Boring Mondays???

This post is to help Dallin's cousin, KC get through her boring Monday. She was quite upset that I have been such a slacker on the blogging world lately, so here is my attempt at changing that. I have now been out of school for almost two years now. It's weird to think about how things have changed. I really do miss some things about going to college. I miss the friendships, the learning, and feeling good after you get a long paper or project finished. I miss the stretching and growing that seem to be pretty constant while you're in school. One other thing I miss is....Spring Break. Luckily, Dallin is still in school, so I get to adopt his Spring Breaks too. This last week we went to Mesquite to escape from the cold weather and have a much needed break. Luckily, two of our cousins, Tyler and KC, and one of my best friends, Tycee were able to come with us. We had a great time. Here's a quick update about what we did.

We spent one day in Mesquite playing volleyball, racquetball and swimming at the rec center. It was nice and relaxing. Then we watched the BYU basketball game that night. It was a fun game to watch, even though the ending was less than ideal. I actually made a bracket for the tournament this year, so I have been infinitely more interested than last year. Too bad my bracket isn't shaping up to look too good. Oh well. I also didn't take many pictures that day. Oops.

We spent the next day in Las Vegas. We had a ton of fun at M&M World.

The Pinball Hall of Fame.

Coke World (This was called Tastes Around the World. It was drinks from all over the world. Most, but definitely not all, of them were really good.)

After we got back to Mesquite that night, we went bowling. I got the exact same score both games. It was pretty entertaining too.

The next day was our travel-back-home day. Luckily, there were some fun things along the way. In Spanish Fork, at the Hari Krishna temple they celebrate the Festival of Colors each year. I have seen lots of pictures and heard a lot about it, but never been. So we stopped there on the way home. Here is a before picture...

And some after pictures. Yes...we are covered with colored chalk. I'm not sure about the reasoning behind it, but you purchase colored chalk and everyone throws it at each other and in the air. Sounds crazy and it is...but it was also a lot of fun.

And here's a movie of the actual throwing of the colors. It is as crazy as it looks.

Then we stopped at my parents to shower and get cleaned up before we headed home. Thanks for the great food and the shower that has never felt so good. All in all, we had a great trip and a wonderful time. Thanks everyone who came and helped make it possible. I think Spring Break is going to have to continue even after our college days are done.

KC...I hope that helped you get through your Monday blues. :-)
