Spring Break Part 1-St.George

So this past week was mine and Trevor's Spring Break. We worked the first half (no bueno) and then headed down for a quick trip down to Sunny St.George to visit his family and get some sunshine. Trevor knew I had never really been to Las Vegas (except driving through a million times as a kid and maybe stopping at a buffet once which I barley even remember) so he decided to take me down for a day when we were there. I was pretty excited to finally walk around and see the place instead of just driving by. When we were down in St.George Trevor wanted to take me to go shoot some clay pigeons. He told me to grab the bullets and we were on our way. OF course AFTER we drove all the way out there and got out of the car... Trevor forgot to bring the shot gun. OH man. We didn't have time to go back and get it and come back because Trevor's mother had given us specific instructions on when we needed to be back for dinner. Instead of making the outing a waste Trevor and I stopped at a statue tribute of Sarah Sturdevant Leavitt. In case you didn't know, my maiden name is Leavitt and the Leavitt family was a big part of the settling of the city St.George. Kind of funny I married someone from there, and I am from San Diego. He grew up and went to school with more people related to me then I have probably ever known. Anyways, they have this cool statue of her and around her the statues of the heads of all her children. So I took some pictures with my great great great great grandmother Sarah, and her son Thomas Rowell Leavitt (who moved to Alberta which is why I was born there!) I must say out of all her children, at least by judgment of the statue... Thomas was definitely the best looking. Yay for my genes ;) haha. 

 

 Trevor NOT happy about forgetting the shot gun...

 

SUPER windy out there on top of the hills.

Kisses for the Grandpa!

See I told you he was good looking :)

Later me and Trevor played Later me and Trevor played Wii.... Is it just me or am I the ONLY one who gets super sore after playing Wii? Anyways I found out that I am amazing at online archery... yup that is right. pretty dang good. I am also good at a slicing competition. If only these gifts counted for something. that night me and Trevor and his sister Courtney and her husband Eric all went to go hot tubbing. Man I wish I had a hot tub... I would use it every night! All in all it was a great day of hanging out with family and relaxing :) Went to bed excited for Vegas in the morning!

Hot Smokin' Saturday...

 Saturdays are our "free" days in the Crowley household. Let me explain... me and Trevor eat healthy throughout the entire week, and then on Saturdays we eat whatever we want! Today we woke up and tried some Gyros from  a Greek place we have been wanting to try down the street from our apartment. OH MY GOSH! I wish we had gone down there earlier, because they were ammmmazing. The best Gyro I have ever had! Not only that, they had some killer fries with of course, fry sauce. Yum Yum Yum. 

 

Laterrrrr, we went to a big Bon Fire/Blowing up session. Yes, Trevor and his friends like to take old computers, televisions, and sometimes fridges and put tanerite (an explosive) on them and shoot them with guns and watch them blow up. It can be pretty cool, and fun. We then built a HUGE fire which of course, as usual the cops came from calls of a 30 ft fire they saw from the freeway. We made sobe bombs (sobe bottles filled with gasoline with holes poked in the cap and put in the fire) these are the best part, and are amazing when they blow up! The biggest Sobe explosion I had ever seen happened tonight. It was HUGE and I almost got hit by a piece of it. Speaking of getting hit, under the Bon Fire we built someone before us had left some bullets on the ground that SHOT off several times throughout the night! It was just a tad freaky.

 

Trevor dancing to the YMCA they had blasting from the truck while he helped

make the ginormous fire! 

  

AHHH My glove caught on FIRE!

(I thought I was pretty clever when I took this)

 

 S'mores, yummy! Please, and Thank You.

We ended with making some s'mores and hot dogs and making small talk with the cop. I have never had so many encounters with cops until I met Trevor... oh man. Like the last Bon Fire we went to, where Trevor lit his head on fire... ON PURPOSE. Yes, the cops didn't believe him when he said he wasn't drunk when he did it. What am I going to do with HIM?! haha :) On the way home Trevor wanted a Gatorade and I wanted some Chocolate Milk so we stopped at a gas station where I was noticing we were getting some weird looks. When we got up to the cashier he asked if we had been by a fire. Apparently we completely reeked of smoke, haha :)

 

An amazing Full Moon, coming over the Mountains.
