Our trip to Vegas was really fun, but not what we had planned. Steven's parents are on a mission in Germany, so we haven't seen much of Steven's family. We planned the whole trip so that the girls could play with their cousins who they have been missing.
Well... sadly, right when the car was packed and we were getting ready to go, we found out that their cousins all had hand, foot, and mouth disease. Instead of hanging out with cousins, we did a lot with just our little family. The girls still had a blast. Aubrey really loved staying in "grandma and grandpa's really big house" when she was the only one there to run wild.
We visited the Las Vegas children's museum. The mini grocery store was by far the biggest hit. They are girls through and through.
After the children's museum, we decided to play tourists. We did the Bellagio fountains, walked around the strip, and visited the wildlife habitat in the Flamingo. And that... was enough of the strip for me. Too many crazy people.
With my mini-me. Aubrey loves my shorter hair because "we are twins."
We were excited to get to see Tyler and Katie, and hang out with Jason and Shanna. Even if the kids all couldn't be together, it was great to see the adults. Jason and Shanna were so good to the girls, and came swimming with us on Saturday.
Cora and Royal (second cousins) also decided to see just how wet non swim diapers could get during an impromptu kiddie pool session.
We got to eat all the food we have been missing. I love the Bay Area, but my favorite restaurants are not here. Cafe Rio, Zupas, and Firehouse Subs were delicious. Oh, and Steven also enjoyed an all-you-can eat sushi lunch with his brother. I guess he is used to the fancy food eating at LinkedIn every day :)
The car trips even went really well. My girls are so good in the car, and so horrible on airplanes. I will always remember the flight when 18-month-old Aubrey chucked a cup of ice water all over the man in front of us. I will take a 9 hour car ride over a 2 hour flight any day.
We love to visit Las Vegas. It was weird to go and not spend the whole time with family, but we are excited for Christmas when Steven's whole family will be there.
