We were excited to get on the road to Vegas to see family and spend time celebrating Addy's blessing. Matt already had a work trip in place so the girls and I road tripped it alone. We left Thursday as soon as Gracie was done with kindergarten and got going. We picked out a bunch of movies and the girls each brought some activities. They were great riders. We stopped once for lunch and then just kept driving. I gave the girls the option to stop for dinner in St George or wait to Vegas and we could do panda express. They chose Panda so we kept moving.
We got there about 8 by the time we stopped for food. The girls were happy with their choice. Matt flew in late that night so we weren't alone long.
I love to stay in hotels that have breakfast it makes mornings so much easier. And its usually so good
Friday morning we got up and gong and after breakfast headed to Kimber's house. She had activities and cupcakes to decorate they all had a great time
We loved visiting but Kimbers house is so little(1300sq ft) so it was so loud and squishy with everyone inside luckily they were outside quite a bit
Once they were sugared up they headed outside. Although they were all filthy they had a blast. They even planned and performed a show for us
One thing that drives me crazy about my family is that no one likes to make a decision after no one spoke up Kim and I decided we were going to do BBQ for dinner at a local restaurant. Mom and Nic opted out which was fine since we got some one on one time with Kim and Ez. We put the kids at a table and the adults sat on the next one. It was a little crazy if Im honest but still fun
Em loved playing with Addy she was a very popular friends
The girls loved these cups at the hotel
A couple of the mornings we left Matt sleeping and went for breakfast...another benefit of included breakfast
Saturday morning Kim and Ez had their nephews baptism so we took advantage of the pool. I enjoyed the sun but it was a little chilly for the pool in my opinion but the girls didn't seem to mind.
We went back to the room after a couple hours of swimming and watched a movie. It was nice to have some down time. I told Kim I would come help her as soon as she got home. I left Em to nap with Matt while The older two girls and I headed to Kim's we stopped at the dollar store to get some veggies and fruit before we headed over.
When we got there Kim let Gracie open her birthday gifts...which she loved. Kim and I made and frosted cupcakes, mac n cheese, and finished the shredded pork.
We all met up at the church to decorate and set up. We had dinner and then had the blessing before cleaning up and heading back to our hotel.
Sunday morning before everyone headed home all but Kimber got together to do breakfast at Mom and Dad's. We had to leave the hotel early and wake up the girls but it worked out well and we enjoyed the time together
Then we made the drive home it was a long drive but a fantastic weekend. The weather was great and it was good t be together with everyone.
