Labor Day

For Labor Day weekend, we made another trip home.  We arrived Thursday night.  Come Friday morning we were in the midst of a swimming party!!  Below is Kade with his giraffe towel.

Mom and Connie made lunch - Mac&Cheese with scones.  Molly is chilling out in the shade with them.

Kyle in the spa.  The watering pitcher is there because they were having fun watering the plants - they learned how to work the hose too.

Funny story about the spa.  We tried to get the waterfalls turned on but probably pushed an incorrect button.  I was in the spa with Kade and Kyle.  Kade stands in the middle and smiles up at me saying "Wow, look I can stand up on the bottom".  At first, I'm thinking - "they grow SOO fast" but then I realize Kyle and Connor are being able to stand along the sides.  Soon the only water left is at the bottom in the middle of the spa AND the pool is about to overflow.  Mom hurries to call Bryan to figure out what we have done.  Luckily, Bryan saves the day once again! 

Ohh . . . sweet puppy.

Connor playing with in inflatable boat.

They love to put on the goggles.

Can't remember what is happening here, but looks like I must have rescued something for Kyle.

That night we went to the Rainforest Cafe at the MGM Grand.  Once Kyle saw the big Ape, he started crawling all over him.

Connor LOVES his mom.

 A guy came around and made balloon animals for the boys.  Kade got a crocodile, Kyle a monkey and Connor I can't remember.  Quickly, Kade became the only one with his animal buddy.

Luckily, everyone was able to there that night so we got this excellent picture.

On Saturday, we went out to the lake.  Below is a picture of Hoover Dam.

Sweet little Molly dog again.

My family loves home-made ice cream and my parents it really yummy.  The boys got some spoonfuls and some fingerfuls in lots of places.

It was our 2nd year anniversary this weekend too.  We spent a night at the Bellagio.  A view from our room:

We went to see La Reve - it was an amazing show!! Highly recommend it to everyone.

The gardens are always a sight to see at the Bellagio.  Here are a few pictures.

Here is the Guinness Book of World Record for largest chocolate fountain which took 2 years to engineer/desin, rises 27 feet, and has 500 feet of stainless steel piping.  We had some hot chocolate from here and a few other delicious edibles.

So basically, a trip full of family, pets, sun, fun, swimming, acrobats, chocolate, Budd = sublime.
