Visiting Uncle Dave!

Friday we decided to take off to Vegas for the weekend to visit Spencer's brother Dave. Most of the boys did great in the car, Kairi hates long car rides, but she still did pretty good. The first night Kairi wasn't fond of the port a crib we brought for her, so she slept next to me for half the night. Ty had a lot of trouble sleeping for some reason. He wouldn't lay still. Finally, Spencer took him over by Dilan and he came to sleep next to me. I moved Kairi into her bed and thankfully she slept, because Ty still had trouble. Dilan ended up sleeping on the floor because Ty kept kicking him. It was funny by morning, even though Spencer and I were exhausted!
We all enjoyed the pool and hot tub the next day.

After swimming Kairi was getting really tired, so I stayed with her in the room while Spencer, Dave and all the boys went to eat at the UNLV campus. Dave showed the boys around the campus and his office.

Trevor had his first war head...ha ha ha makes your mouth water huh?


They came back and got us, and we all headed to a park with a big pond of ducks. The boys love feeding ducks, but I think these ducks were over feed and done with bread by the time we got there.

Then we headed to the playground



The kids were worn out after the park, so we decided to redbox a movie and grab some snacks the have a movie night in the hotel. It was a nice night, and a lot of the kids fell asleep during it. Kairi slept really good this night, but Ty was still having issues, ended up falling off the bed, and finally with Spencer sleeping next to him we got some sleep. We packed up the car and went to look at the aquarium at the hotel we were at. It was pretty cool.
I LOVE when they all line up like this to look at stuff :)


Then we headed to another park to meet up with our Friends Lynn and Joseph. We meet them at this really awesome park. I would love a park like this by my house :) Dave and his girlfriend Sara came with us too. They were true lifesavers, because they would follow around some of the smaller kids. Thanks you guys!
There was this tower that you would climb up, and you could look out over the whole park.
Here is Bryson standing in it.

They are at the top!

The older boys loved this net climb



There was teeter totters!

A metal stagecoach is always fun to play on.

How cute it this?

There was some really green grassy hills to roll down

and rest on!

There was lots of slides

We ate a picnic lunch and then said goodbye to our friends.

It was a beautiful day! Then we came home to snow :( Oh well, at least a we got a taste of summer :) It was great to see Dave, and the kids loved playing with him all weekend. Usually vacations end to quick, but with the lack of sleep, I was good!
