Sukkot Vacation Part 1

So we LOVE that Shane is going to a Jewish University. You know all those holidays you see written on calenders and you think to yourself "Huh, I wonder what that is?" Well, we get all those off. Rosh Hashanna, Yom Kipper Etc. It just so happens that during October there are tons of Jewish Holidays. It's the Jewish New Year and their Feast of the Harvest. Sukkot is their holiday to remember the 40 years they wandered in the desert. So anyway, Jewish holiday = last family vacation for a while for us since I'm about on the verge of popping. We drove from Las Vegas to Blackfoot. Blackfoot to Denver then Denver back to Vegas. Our entire trip we drove around 2,900 miles. I don't think we will ever try to travel this much in one trip ever again.

We got to go and see our Nephew's last football game. It was an awesome game to see. Rhett is the only one not looking goofy in this picture. Colson was having a blast even though his moaning look says otherwise.
Colson loved watching his cousin play, and have fun running around with Aubrey his other cousin. (Of course we can't go anywhere without his blanky. It was covered in mud and he threw a fit when I tried to wash it)



We got to meet up with our friends Jason and Alisha and their three kids while we were in Blackfoot. We decided to head to the ISU student center and go bowling. It was Colson's first time and he loved it. He even did great with waiting his turn and not standing too close to the ball return.

This is skipping ahead a bit. These last pictures are from the very last part of our trip from Denver back to Vegas. For some reason or another Colson decided to bundle himself up with only his face poking out. It gave me a good laugh.

For anyone who has ever driven on I-70 through the Rocky Mountains you're aware that there are quite a few tunnels you have to drive through. We took this opportunity to teach Colson correct protocol when driving through tunnels. Holding your breath through the whole thing for good luck. He thought it was the funniest thing. It kept him occupied for a little while. It was just a bummer after there weren't any more because he relentlessly kept asking for more tunnels.

He's such a happy kid!
