Sisters Weekend in Vegas

I had such a fun weekend with my Ang, Ash, and the kids this weekend. It was a nice break from here, even though I was missing my Jason like crazy!

Ash wanted to get a happy meal with the lego toy in it. Well, it ended up being a little toy gun
that got tossed out the window on the drive back. hahaha, sorry Ash.


The kids were taking naps so we thought we would try to get a few pictures of all of us.




I love this picture!



I can picture Ashlee saying, "mmm, uh huh"


These 2 little cuties love to watch their videos together. They were watching Lion King here, and about 5 other times during the weekend!


Cute little friends sitting in their "hippo" pool in the living room watching a church video on Sunday.


Angela and Christian went out on Saturday night, and Ash and I watched the kids. We had so much fun! We took them to the park to play and then they wanted "The Golden Spoon" (we had nothing to do with the choice of the place, haha!) Kayla insisted on having a cone and so we got both of them a cone. They looked so cute with their chocolate coated faces!

Oh Buddy!


Sweet little girl!


We took the kids to The Mirage to the dolphin habitat and also to see the lions and tigers. It was only $15 to get in and free for kids! It really was such a neat place. The kids loved it and so did I. There were tiger cubs that were a few weeks old and also a baby dolphin who had just been born not even a week before. It was adorable swimming with its momma - when the mom would come out of the water so would the baby. The kids loved it! There was also an underground part where you could see the pool where the dolphins are from underneath. This is my absolute FAVORITE picture. Notice the dolphin's face in the above picture. It was swimming right toward the window with this look on its face like, "Hello, I'm totally oblivious to everyone and everything and I'm just swimming along minding my own business." Then of course Ashlee had to imitate, so we took the next picture...........


Seriously, it's one of those "you had to be there" moments, but nobody can appreciate this picture like I can! haha, I was laughing so hard uploading the picture :)





You could get right up next to the pools, and see the dolphins swim up really close.











Show off


The trainers come out periodically and feed the dolphins and have them do little tricks.

This lion wasn't concerned with modesty that day....

Sounds like you all had a great weekend. Reminds me of the trip we took to Vegas long ago. That was so much fun. Well, I think your next trip should be to Salt Lake, and I'll meet you down there for a girls weekend to shop and hang out. Let's start planning. Angela's kids are so stinkin' cute!
