Millie's 70th

Jim's mom turned 70 in April and in lieu of a party, the family decided to all go to Las Vegas. We flew out there to meet everyone and had a great 4 day trip. The weather could not have been more perfect (It was 85-88 everyday.) We stayed in downtown at the Golden Nugget and they just put in a new pool which was pretty incredible. It had a 200,000 gallon aquarium filled with sharks, sting rays, fish etc.. and the water slide went right through the aquarium. We pretty much spent every day at the pool with the kids who were loving all of the attention they were getting from their Aunts/Nanna/Nannu. It was definitely a different experience going to Vegas with the kids, than the trips Jim and I are used to. Olivia kicked off the trip by waking up the first night at 4:20am and not going back to bed until her nap :-( I think we were in the room by 9:00 every night and I didn't gamble once. My how times have changed! Still a fun time and thank you to Jim's family for being so wonderful with the kids and for helping us out so much! Thank you also for all of the yummy meals and the fun family time.
Happy 70th birthday Millie. We love you and here's to many more!

Just the three of us (Cole fell asleep on the drive over)


Every time Cole hugs his sister, it becomes more of a "choke hold!"

The hotel pool/aquarium and do you see the water slide going through it? Very cool!


There is that choke hold again


Only Nanna would be able to get Olivia to fall asleep with her at the pool. This would NEVER happen with me.


Heading back home. Look at our little helper. He was actually able to carry his own luggage this time. His backpack is full with all of the toys he wanted to bring with him.
