December, pt. 1

The time has flown by!  Lets start over a month ago....

 Ada got another cold that turned (again!) into some respiratory infection that landed her in the hospital for another night.  She was acting completely happy and energetic, but her breathing was really labored.  And like last time, it disappeared on it's own after less than 24 hours in the hospital.  No one really knows why it happens to her.  But we were happy it was gone so quick, because 2 days later we were scheduled to see the Hoover Dam and the new bridge

and meet Carol, Mike and Ellie in ....

 

  Las Vegas!  We had reservations at the Flamingo hotel, and we didn't realize it until we got up to the rooms, but they had given us upgrades!  The rooms were bigger than our house in Escalante and we had a view of the Bellagio fountains!  The kids had TONS of room to run around with each other, 

 

 And we had these amazing bathrooms in which 2 of the walls were frosted glass.  We accidentally made the discovery that they were great for taking cool pictures through.

Of course we did other things in Vegas (like eating way too much food) but the rooms could possibly have been the highlight.
