Vegas Vacation!

Vegas bound!

Cam was in Vegas for the week, so some  of the wives packed up and went to meet the husbands. 

Their company let us use this huge old polygamist van!! We had 2 wives, 2 moms and 6 kids packed up in it! 

It was a beast to drive, but I got us down there safe and sound!

We had a suite while we were there. It was so nice to have a room for the girls, a little kitchen area, a giant tub for the girls and a room for Cam and I! 

We got down to Vegas pretty late that night, so called it a night and went to bed!

Friday we hit the pool! We had a cabana waiting for us full of ice, drinks and snacks. It was sooo hot and we were very glad to have it for shade and keeping our drinks cool! 

We were pretty spoiled this weekend!

The gangs all here!

Riley.. (Connor's wife), Mandy (Dillon's wife), Reese, Sage, Natalie, Andrew, Olivia, and Sarah (Johnny's wife). We were missing little Tim in this picture. 

Our cheese pizza delivered to us for lunch by Camo!

Me and my girls. 

Loved playing with them all weekend. 

Proof that Cam does work. He didn't get to play with us during the day, but he did come out and visit a lot! :)

He kept us stocked up on snacks and drinks. 

We applied so much sunscreen.  Reese always wanted to apply her own. She was well covered. 

This was the main pool. If you had a cabana you had access to a different pool. There were maybe 6 people in it all day. We basically had it to ourselves. So nice to not have all the adults giving our kids dirty looks for splashing them!!

After swimming we were walking back to our room and the girls wanted their picture taken on the shoe shiner chairs!

We went over to the Excalibur for dinner and a show! We watched the Knights Table! It was fun. (They were strict about pictures, so I couldn't get very many)!

They bring your food out.. It's all medieval type. You don't have any silverware. Sage was not impressed with how dirty your hands got, and Reese pretty much hated the whole show!! 

Here's the food... A Cornish game hen, red potatoes, broccoli and a roll. It was soo delicious. 

I had seen this show when I was younger. It was pretty close to the same. Fun to watch again!

Sage really liked the show. They had horse fights, dancing horses,  maidens dancing, dragons, and fireworks. 

Reese hated it!! She didn't touch her food and fell asleep half way through the show. She was out the rest of the time!!

Saturday we hit the pool again. There was a little overcast which made it nice. Still hot!

The girls swam all day long!! They were in heaven. 

Some new buddies! These girls were all around the same age. They had a blast. 

Swimming obviously knocked these two out. They both fell asleep while watching cartoons as I got ready for the night. 

Vegas life is rough!

The Summitt was over, and I wanted to go down and help start cleaning up. The quicker we finished the quicker we could go out and play. 

I left this note for the girls. Thank goodness for technology. 

I kept coming up to the room to check on them too. They slept for hours!!

Finally. Dinner. 

We went over to Ceasar's palace. 

We got on the waiting list for Cheesecake Factory. It was a little wait.. We only had 14 people!!

So we did some shopping while we waited!

Dinner was good, as always. 

The kids were well behaved!

Reese thought it was so funny that her corndog came out of the bread part!

Side story...

So we drove the huge van to Ceasars Palace. There was no way we could fit in underground parking, so we pulled up front and left it in vallet. There was no one around. So the guys convinced each other that it was fine to leave it. The wives tried to tell them otherwise! We were convinced we would get a ticket or get towed!

Well.. When we came back from dinner, no van! It was towed. 

It was late, like 11:00 pm, we were all tired and ready to get kids to bed. 

We made some phone calls and realized we were not getting the can back that night, so we all got a cab and went home. 

I was super annoyed until the girls were so excited to ride in a cab for the first time! 

They made the situation a little better. 

Until I remembered how much it was going to cost to get the can out! :(

We did get the van out the next morning and all is ok! No hard feelings!

On the way home, the trailer blew a tire so we had to stop and replace it! Thank goodness for handy husbands!! 

It's good to be going home!

It was a great trip. Tons of fun. But, Vegas drains you!! :)

I'm glad we were able to have such fun friends to play with, and a good company to take care of us!

Now to get home and catch up on laundry!
