Kaelyn was walking around the Hoover Dam gift shop sporting her new glasses reading a really good cook book and the people were laughing at her. She was definatly in her own world.
This was at the Bass Pro shop, so much to see and the girls loved looking at all the animals.
This year for the 4th we decided to go to Lake Mead with some friends and do a little boating. It was a time we will never forget. We did have a lot of fun and did a lot of things but we hit some bumps along the way. Jake has been cracking me up all day naming things that did not go so well on the trip. The water was amazing and just nice to be in, the view was amazing and there was barely anyone on the lake. My girls loved being able to hang with the other kids and p
lay around.
First bump we had was a huge storm that came in while we were on the lake taking the boats that were anchored out to the middle of the lake, while we were trying to catch the boats we got belted with huge cherry size rain drops and wind, in the ruckus Jake lost his sun glasses. I had to have Jake take me to shore to get our beach stuff but yeah there was not much left of our pop up tent and the girls packed up everything (they are some amazing girls they did this with kids :) . Needless to say it was very exciting and unexpected and I felt like I was in a movie.

After our crazy day we all got to relax and enjoy some pizza at Pizza Hut they go back to our rooms and just crash, I feel sorry for the cleaning lady that had to clean our rooms. The next day we went to Hoover Dam to check it out, we got so see some amazing pictures and play in the gift store, the kids had a blast. Afterward I thought that the kids might like to check out the M&M store down in Vegas. Holy cow M&M's were expensive, but the kids loved looking around at everything.
All of us got together later on and watched the fireworks from a local McDonald's parking lot and later we let the kids play with sparklers while the big boys let off the bigger stuff.
We decided to leave early and get back to relax, big mistake we should of stayed! The boat slipped off the hitch and hit the back of Jake's parents car and after that we got a ticket for going 70 mph with a trailer.
I'm happy to be home!

We were in Vegas the weekend before and also did the M&M factory (loads of fun, but thankfully my sister-in-law had purchased two big bags of M&Ms before at a grocery store, so that we didn't have to pay the hefty price!!!) and we went to the Hoover Dam. So sorry about all of your bumps on your trip!!! Hope you all had a great 4th!!!
I think I have finaly found someone who uses their camera as much as I do. The picture of Jake with the ticket is priceless! We had such a good time with your family and Love Jakes Mom and Dad.
