Our Dam Vacation

We decided to try and make an adventure of driving to Beaver, Utah for a family vacation. We rented a motor home. I went on Craigslist and found people who rent out their own motor homes for cheap. It was $160.00 a day with 150 miles a day free and we just used our own car insurance... so no charge. It was a lot cheaper than the RV rental places...just a tip.

To make good use of the motor home we went out of our way to visit Hoover Dam. These are my Dam Kids.


I am finally in a Dam Photo.



My Dam Hot Family




Sydney hurt her knee bad on the Dam escalator. She probably should of got 3 stitches but that was not in the itinerary to spend 3 hours at the ER.




Teaching Sydney how to ride the Dam escalator the right way.







My brother making a Dam big breakfast...oh, sorry I am not at the Dam anymore. No more Dam jokes:)


Seriously he is so skinny and eats so much!




One Cute cowboy! Taylor taught him to lift his hat and say "Howdy Ladies"




One Not so Cute Cowboy!!
We had to look at my brothers ugly outfit all day! The shorts looked worse in real life. They were cut shorter in the front than the back.



Attempting to use the rope swing.





Not getting much swing time on the rope.





Carly and Scott wishing they had some horses. They share a horse bond that I don't understand. They both entered in a little rodeo and did some barrel racing. Scott normally does not ask for me to put anything on the blog, but he wanted me to put some video of him barrel racing the fastest time.







I learned something new in Beaver. I never knew that sheep were called mutton. This is Carly getting ready to go mutton busting.




This is Carly falling off the mutton. This is the dumbest sport EVER!!


Taylor and I both shot a gun for the first time. This is an M1 from WW2. She actually hit something with some help from her Uncle.





Guess the movie I told them to reenact...Karate Kid



Our whole family in a photo. We had almost next to nothing planned for 5 days and filled it with so many Dam memories and new adventures. Sorry, I had to throw in one more "Dam" joke.

Looks like tons of fun. As always I was laughing while reading about your adventure :) You always provide me with comic relief when I need it the most. So would you please do a post everyday.

We miss you guys!

Although we had some initial struggles learning how to work the motor home--lots of gadgets--all are looking forward to another motor home rental. It was a huge hit!
