We left Lagoon a little early because of rain. We went back to the trailer and stayed up late playing games, watching a movie, and eating Jiffy Pop popcorn. It was a lot of fun, but I wimped out in the morning and slept in before enjoying breakfast with my family then loading up and checking out by 11:00am.

We actually only had our two youngest daughters (9 and 11) with us at Lagoon. Our 18, 20, and 22 year old children were too old to be interested in going to Lagoon (and one of them is in Florida this week). Our 15 year old daughter is at EFY at UNLV. We're driving to Las Vegas on Friday (tomorrow) to pick up her and her friend early on Saturday morning and bring them home. We're dropping our two youngest at my parents in Nephi on the way down for an overnighter with Grandma and Grandpa and will pick them up on the way back home.

I plan to get a good run in tomorrow morning before we leave. We're supposed to pick our daughter up at 7:00 am on Saturday, so I don't know if I'll be able to squeeze a run in, definitely not a long run. I guess you'll never know, because "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."

Sounds like you're having a great time with the family. Enjoy the break! I'm sure you'll come back with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
