Petting the stingrays

This was the coolest part of our trip! There is a small Aquarium (I think it was in west jordan) my kids loved it! Especially petting the stingrays. Even I liked that!

We made sure we found time to walk around Temple Square with the kids. We enjoyed that alot! By the way I think this is the only picture I'm in cause some one offered to take it for us! How funny huh!
So here goes alot of pictures from our trip! You may have to turn the page to see them all! We really had a nice time visiting all the family and everyone took good care of us! Some days we ate 3 lunches and 2 dinners but it was all delicious and worth eating! I never got any pictures of Billy playing ball - they all turned out blurry but he did very well!

Our Family Vacation

We had alot of fun even in the car on the way to winnemucca! Nice bubble davis!!
Mercedeez and billy were being goof balls in round table pizza in Elko. My silly kids are definately Mendoza's!!
Isn't he cool?! I'm pretty sure that billy is the funniest person I know!
We stopped in Green River at Ray's Tavern to eat a burger that was said to be one of the four best burgers in the western US. It was pretty good and pretty interesting too!
I got a kick out of it when the waiter brought us our condiments in a 4-pack carrier!!!

This is jovi! Billy was super good friends with her cousin Josh who lived with them during HighSchool! We were so happy to see her!
Here is hector with his cute boys! The older one is Hector the youner Ricky! We also met Maria but the picture with her in it looked dark when I uploaded it. What a bummer. They are a cute family though!
Here are the lopez's! Some of you will remember juan? These are his parents! So nice!
here is carlos! Billy dated his older sister for a while. Carlos was like 4 when billy knew him! He is really good friends with Yudi so we got to see him lots! He is a super good kid!

Making Friends

Lexi hanging with Yudi and below ceds hanging with Goudy! I have to thank them and their mom and Edith for all the help they gave with the girls keeping them busy and watching them while I watched billy's game! They have asked to call Yudi and Goudy several times since we got home!

The girls had plenty of girls to hang with obviously! here they are with Carina playing a game. Carina is uncle chelo's little girl that I can remember being invited to a baby shower for her just before billy and I moved.

Recognize these Places?

Our old High School! Remember the glass hallway? Still there!
Our old house! the trees grew I'd say!
Good old BJ's market! I should have stopped in to see if they still had Clearly Canadians carbonated flavored water! Those were my favorite! Don't see them any more though
Billy's old house! Apparently they gutted out the inside and it is all redone. we didn't ask to see it though. Nice garage!

Heading Home

The morning we were heading home we went to breakfast with Robert and Stefanie and thier kids. Some of you will recognize stefanie who used to babysit kylie kelly and lindsey.
Mercedeez was pretty proud of the giant jerky she got for a treat on the drive home!
We took abby to dinner with us at the mayan that night when we got back to Salt Lake. It was such good food!! And we were there for a show so it was awesome! I had some pics of the divers but they were coming out too dark when I tried to post them.
