Vegas Trip

Back in July we drove down to Vegas for a quick trip to pick up my parents. They were down there for a long weekend trip with some of my family and then were coming up to our house for the rest of the week. This has been the longest since Quinn has gone without seeing Grandma and Grandpa (Grandma in January, Grandpa in December) and for the month leading up to their visit she talked about how much she missed them. I think living away from family is going to get harder the older she gets because now she knows when we don't see them and she misses them!
She was so excited when we parked and were on the elevator to find grandma!

We got in really late Friday night and the kids stayed up way past their bedtime because they were so excited to be with grandma and grandpa. Sleeping in a hotel room with Leo right now is very challenging. He is used to his routine and when he isn't able to be put down awake and left alone he will not go to sleep. Needless to say we didn't sleep very much that weekend and it wasn't because we were out partying in Vegas! On Saturday we went to breakfast and then back to the hotel to go to the pool. The kids loved the wave pool and Leo kept diving in face first. For dinner we went to a buffet with the whole family and then my mom watched the kids so Dave and I could go on a little date night. 

She loved wearing papaw's hat around the hotel room. 

Leo loved that he could see the pool from the window and anytime we were in the room he just wanted to stand here and look down at the pool. 

When you are in Vegas with 2 kids the ice bucket is used to keep milk cold and not booze. 

Reading books with Grandma. 

Dave and I got to play in the family slot machine pool one night. It was fun to be able to hang out with everybody while my mom watched the kids for us. I didn't last too long and was upstairs in bed pretty early. Dave and my dad are troopers and they were downstairs almost all night together. 

 

 

The kids absolutely loved the pools. We spent a lot of time at the pools while we were there. The weather wasn't too hot and it wasn't crowded at all. Both of our kids are water babies! 

 

Sunday we spent a little time at the pool and then grabbed a quick lunch and hit the road for home. The kids were so excited that Grandma and Grandpa would be coming back to our house. We had a good time in Vegas seeing all the family and Dave got to do a little gabling also. The kids loved the pool so I think it was a win-win for everybody! 

Trips are good, life is good
