What happens in Vegas ........

is hot!!

Yikes. I forgotten how windy and hot Vegas can be .... even in May.

We flew in (after rising at 3 am!) at around 10 am, found our luggage and rented a car for four hours. Yes, you heard correctly. We found that to rent a car to drive from Vegas to St. Geo would cost $300. To rent for the day in Vegas is $15. So we rented to basically hold our luggage for the afternoon, take us to eat lunch and go look at my old house.

We chose to take the St.Geo shuttle from Vegas to St. Geo at 5:30 so we had a fair amount of time to hang out. This was the best plan.

So now we're here in St. Geo. Thomas went to pick up the car and they decided to give it away ... even tho' it was reserved and paid for days ago and there are NO MORE cars left in this entire area. Apparently, this is a busy week. Who knew?

Thomas flew into a rage, demanded to talk to the supervisor, started walking back down from the airport (and those of you who are familiar with St.Geo know that huge hill coming down into town). In the meantime, they have suddenly come up with another car and he is now walking back UP the hill to get it.

This is funny for several reasons. First, Thomas has calmed a lot since we've been married. He hasn't raged for years (ask his older kids). Second, that they laughed at him while telling him that there were no other cars in the whole southern area (which caused the rage actually). Third, he HATES St. George, HATES the heat and HATES walking uphill. All three of these things are happening at this moment.

He is a sweetie for making sure we have a car though.

So we're off to lunch and a hike and other stuff. We went swimming for a bit this morning but the kids started fighting and punching each other so I pulled them from the pool. And now, they're playing sweetly on the floor. Man. Kids.
