Las Vegas

 We took a trip up to Las Vegas again this year.  This trip was the last full weekend before the kids started school.  It was a fun trip.  We again, rented a boat up at Lake Mead and we all enjoyed the water.  One scary thing that happened on this trip was Kora actually got lost on the Las Vegas strip.  It was a terrifying few minutes when we realized she was not with us.  Kelly ran back searching for her, while I stayed with the other 3 kids and my mom.  It turns out she got distracted at the Madame Tousads wax figure museum.  When we all walked past, she stayed to look.  Thankfully one of the workers noticed she was alone and kept her until we found her.  It was a scary experience.  We were definitely blessed that she got lost there rather than on the street.  I think our Heavenly Father was definitely watching over her.  Overall, it was a fun trip, with an interesting memory to go with it. We're just so glad that she was fine and safe.


The kids at Buffalo Bills, riding the rides.  There aren't many rides at Buffalo Bills, but the kids had a great time.  The only 2 rides the kids could really go on was this jumper ride and the laser shooter log ride.  Hunter and Kora went on the Log ride multiple times.  Mylie went on about 2 times, and then stayed on the jumper the rest of the time.  She probably went on it somewhere around 20 times, enjoying each time up as if it was her first.  
 Here we are at the Venetian, such a beautiful hotel.
