The last weekend of August, my Dad's uncle had his 80th birthday party. He lives in Las Vegas so we all decided to drive up for the weekend. John's Aunt Karen and Uncle Wendell we so kind to let us stay at their place for the weekend. All of us. My parents, my little family, and my two sisters. We had a great weekend, other then the horribly hot weather. I don't think I ever want to live in weather like that.
*Friday we left mid morning and drive straight to Vegas. The kids did pretty well in the car. We did have to stop a few times for potty breaks. When we got their we went swimming in a neighbors pool to cool off. It was so nice. And the kids of course LOVED it. Then we got ready and headed to Henderson for a late lunch early dinner buffet. It was yummy! And we got an AMAZING deal. John's Aunt & Uncle got some coupons so we each paid like $4.50 for our meal or something ridiculous like that. The kids enjoyed trying all kinds of foods and especially LOVED the dessert bar. John also like the different food choices. He had crab legs and a few types of fish. Then we rolled ourselves out of there and drove Charles down the strip. Grandma had told him that their were Pirates there. So we had to go check it out so we would stop asking us about it. He was very excited to see the Pirate ships. Then we headed back to the house and relaxed then went to bed.
*Saturday, Karen and Wendell were kind enough to watch Charles while Madison slept so we could go to the temple. They live about 5 minutes from it so we jumped at the chance to go.
Then we got home got Sonic for lunch. I LOVE their Strawberry slush with Lime. Yum my favorite, and the closest one to us is in Anaheim. Then we went to the 80th Birthday party, hung out for a bit. (We don't really know many of my Dad's cousins so we didn't stay and socialize) John and I took the kids to have a BBQ with my friend Emily, her husband Duane, and their adorable little boy Taylor. It was so nice to visit with them and chat. The kids had a great time playing at a new place with new toys. Then they headed off to Stake Conference and we headed back to the strip to play some games at Circus Circus.
The kids had a great time watching the adults with lots of stuffed animals. (I've always had a NO stuffed animal rule in my house, but that just went out the window with the load of stuffed animals we came home with.) Madison found a claw game that had Wow Wow Wubbzy dolls. She was so excited. She kept saying wow wow. After several, I mean Lots of attempts a Wubbzy doll was won.
Madison LOVES her Wubbzy doll along with the 2 white teddy bears that were won at Circus Circus. Those bears have been in very close proximity to her since she got them. (We are trying very hard to keep her from having a stuffed animal attachment.)
We had a great time playing all the games at Circus Circus. After playing lots of games we headed to Leatherby's for some yummy ice cream. It was sooo good. Madison especially enjoyed it.
Then we went back to Karen & Wendell's and went to bed. The next day we got up and went to church and then headed home. It was a great short trip loaded with fun!!!! But not a place I want to live.
