Las Vegas Fun

Other than Cora's blessing, we had a ton of fun during the week with Steven's family and on the weekend with my family.

We didn't take too many pictures because we were having tons of fun, but here are a few photo highlights:

We went to the new Las Vegas children's museum and the museum of natural history. The children's museum was seriously one of the coolest places I have seen for little kids (and I definitely like to scope out all the cool places.) I wish they had one this good here!

Cora went swimming in the kiddie pool for the first time. It may not look like it here, but she actually enjoyed it.

So, I'm super nervous to write about this, but I figure if I put it in writing then I can't chicken out. Steven has managed to convince me to ride in a metric century bike race (100 km or 65 miles) in just two weeks. I'm terrified, especially considering I just had a baby, and how crazy things have been... but we are signed up, and I hope I can do it.

While we were in Las Vegas, we got to do a few training rides. I did one 40 miler with the first 20 being completely uphill, so I am feeling a little more confident....but still completely terrified.

While we spent hours riding our bikes, the girls got a lot of Grandma time. Aubrey especially soaked it all up.

Lots of cousin time as well. We got to stay with Katie and Tyler for a few days. A five-year-old, 2 two-year-olds, and 2 infants made things kind of crazy, but lots of fun.

On the weekend, we got to spend Saturday with all of my family and a bunch more of Steven's family that came into town for the blessing. It was a busy Saturday!

Pool time with the Footes....

And family pictures with my family. Also, late Saturday night after the kids were all in bed, we went out on the strip to the Stratosphere rides. Steven and Steve stayed with the kids, and the original Peterson family of five all went together. That was pretty fun:

And now we are home! For another day... Did I mention things have been crazy? Our landlords are renovating the other half of our duplex, and it is going to be so loud that we have to live in a hotel next week. Really not looking forward to that, but at least we will have a pool, right?
