Vegas
Sunday 6/15, Father’s Day. Bret and I were busy getting ready for Vegas in the morning. We played with the kids in the morning and gave them showers. We played outside for a while with their trikes. They watched daddy mow the lawn then I took them for a walk to find grandma/pa. Grandma/pa were staying with the kids while we went away. It was so hard to leave my precious kids but knew they were in good hands. It was so nice being away with Bret. The best 24 hours we have had in a long time. It was so relaxing. We got to Vegas, rented the car, then went to our hotel (Mandalay Bay). I love that hotel. We decided to go hit the pool. They have a lazy river ride, so we got some rafts and just went around and around (so relaxing). It was so nice not be in a rush and just to do whatever we wanted. We sat by the pool in the shade and just talked and enjoyed being together. Of course we talked about the kids! We had a great prime rib dinner at this excellent steak house. It was a perfect evening. I was so tired though, too much relaxing for me, so we called it an early night. In the morning, we just took it easy again. Got some coffee did a little gambling. The gambling wasn’t going so well. We lost a little, no big deal it was fun playing. We went to our favorite Burger place for lunch, The Burger Bar. Of course twins work there so that made us miss our twins. After lunch, we did more gambling, walk around, went to the toy store for the kids…..All of a sudden the day was over and it was time to come home for me. As much as I missed the kids and was excited to come home, I was sad to leave Bret. I miss him so much. When I got home, Nicole greeted me with a big hug where as Justin basically just said hi mom. He was happy playing outside in the water table. It was so good to see my munch kins and hear all about what they did. They went to My Gym, baked cupcakes, played inside and outside, just had a great time with grandma/pa. So great to come home and see them so happy. Tonight grandma and I took them to Chick Fil A for dinner. They played in the play area a bit and had a great time. They were wild tonight. It is 10:00 and Nicole is still not asleep-ugh. Time for me to go upstairs now too.
