A Memorial Day trip to Las Vegas

we spent the weekend in Las Vegas visiting my brother Mark and his family.  My dad is turning 80 on June 2nd and we decided to go to Las Vegas and celebrate with Mark.  Everyone  was there but Blake and Micaela and Mitchell (serving a mission in Columbia).  It was a super fun trip of plenty of swimming and good food.  nick, Stella and Jack couldn't have spent more time in the pool.

On Sat we went to the Springs Preserve.  it is this nature center that was built on this natural spring and had some cool science stuff and some animals and just fun.  I thought it was a great place to spend some time in the afternoon.  We went home for more swimming and a BBQ and our birthday party.  It was a spectacular party.  Dinner and a cake.  No gifts.  FAB!  I guess our gift to him was just being there all together.

Sunday Nick, Stella and Jack were swimming and paying goggles store.  They collected all the goggles from the bottom of the pool and Stella made a goggles store on this raft.  Googles for,sale she would yell .  "two for one". "oh come on guys" she said (cuz they not responding ). Then jack "okay" and he went and got some.  Soo funny to watch then come up with these ideas.

Later Nick and Stella were playing that they were the smartest in the class so the teachers gave them more to study which was rocks.

I went and saw Marks office.  so very nice.  he gave me a case of toothpaste and some tooth brushes. Love Him (I would love him even without the toothbrushes). He has a great family and wife.  And a nice house with a fun pool!   No wonder my children were soo excited to visit him!  (me too).
Mark promised Andrew that he would take him to the pawn shop that is on Pawn Stars.  so nice and he even bought him a T-shirt.  Very much appreciated!
