On our way home from Newport Beach, CA. I knew that the Livingston's were spending the 4th with their family, so we decided to call it a day in the car and meet up for fun with friends.
In Vegas, things are a little bit bigger and a whole hot hotter, so what do you do???
First, Lunch at Metro Pizza and when you have a over stuffed belly, nothing a swim can't fix.
Over to Liza's parents home for a BBQ and some fun in the water.
The kids played and played in the pool. Nothing got them out...they ate their hot dogs and back into the water they jumped! I have to note that "floaties" are the best thing! C&C actually played in the water and Dan and I didn't have to hold them. (WHY did I not use them sooner was silly on my part. So for sure invest in a pair for your kiddos.)
After the pool, we headed over to watch the firework show that was off of one of the many casinos there. Everyone does the big fireworks and since Vegas is so flat, that as you drive around, you can see many many shows of fireworks going on.

C&C didn't like the sounds of the firework, but would actually sit through them unlike my sister and I when we were little, but that story is for another time.The kids were so tired from all of their hard playing during the day, that they all crushed before we got back to the hotel.
In the morning before we headed back on the road, we thought since we were in Vegas, the kids would like to go to the M&M's and Coke store along the strip.
and yeah, they sure did!
They each picked out their trip treat and we headed off the strip. I have come to the conclusion that Vegas isn't a place for kids. Each time I go, I realize this. The people and things that you see there is pretty strange. You for sure see all kinds and the world is opened up to you.
Now, into the car we go...
Ready or not, 6 hours await us in the car. I hope that I can survive!
Thank goodness for air conditioning; it was at one time 115 degrees driving through Vegas. Also, thank goodness for dvd players in the car with wireless headphones, so I don't have to listen. Thank goodness for my itouch, so I can control the music AND last but not least, thank goodness for my pillow, so I can nap through part of the drive.
