Visiting Vegas Friends

Covid quarantine sent us out of state again.  This time to visit Theresa and Davin.  Kayda's best friend Ari moved to Vegas a couple of years ago.  They became even closer after she moved.  They video chat and text regularly.  So when we found cheap airfare we scheduled to go visit.  It was just a long weekend situation.  We actually went down Thursday night and I did my classes from there on Friday.  

They took us to a few places on the strip.

Us with Theresa and Davin

The kiddos with Gibson and Ari.

Brian and the kids did the Coca-Cola tasting.  Most were not to their liking, some were foul.

We went to the conservatory.  The figures are all made with real plants so that was fun to walk through.

We went and watched the fountains at the Bellagio.

We spent Saturday on the boat on Lake Mead.

We saw the Hoover dam.

Then they took us to some cliffs to jump off.  All of us went off the highest cliff.  I thought it was interesting that they had their kids wear life jackets.  We just went with it so it didn't cause problems for them.

Sunland

We went out Labor Day weekend and went to Sunland.  This is usually a big "no"  for me.  I'm not interested in Labor Day traffic.  We opted to head home Sunday night though so we didn't get stuck in the nasty traffic.  

Annette and Rick have a place in a community there.  We parked our trailer, along with Grandma and Papa H, on their property.  We spent our day Saturday swimming on the Columbia river.  Of course, we went out on Grandma and Papa's boat.  We were there with Annette's daughter

 Becky and her family also.  Unfortunately, no kids the same age as mine but Becky's boys are close to Carson's age, so they still had fun.

Boat day!

We don't do it often, but every now and again we go up and borrow Grandma and Papa H's boat.  We're grateful to have access to one, especially with the kiddos being such water babies... And not having a pool this year.  I think the pictures are pretty self explanatory.

 

We brought Ozzi with us since he has such bad separation anxiety.  He did really well.  Wouldn't say he liked it, I'm pretty sure he ended up a little sick... But he was a champ and the kids loved having him with us.
