Las Vegas visit

The kids and I enjoyed a 2-week visit to my family in Las Vegas, particularly to see Uncle Peter who has recently returned from his mission to Texas/New Mexico. Here are some highlights of our trip...
 
  • Elisabeth and Ethan playing the musical bird marbles together
  • All four grandkids spanking each others bums!
  • Rychen and Ethan jumping on the big trampoline together
  • Daily visits to the park with Andrew and Peter - Elisabeth loves swinging!
  • Elisabeth befriending Maggie (the mini-canine)
  • Elisabeth saying "Gamma!" a couple times
  • Uncle Evan timidly tickling Elisabeth
  • Getting to know Melan better and supporting her
  • Peter's impressive guitar skills! and Rychen endlessly begging for a turn
  • Melan teaching Rychen a few bars of a primary song on the piano
  • Eating lots and lots of raw food! and playing with my mom's dehydrator - making raw tortillas, cracker, burritos
  • Being Peter's personal trainer a few times, teaching him kickboxing
  • Playing guitar hero
  • Skpe-ing with Dad back home
  • Spending time with Laura, Jon, Millie, and Emily
  • Singing with Peter on the guitar (although he never did learn that STP song like I wanted...)
  • Rock climbing at Red Rock State Park
  • Dance Dance Revolution at Mini Gran Prix ($2 well spent!)
  • Rychen being a total wuss at Mini Gran Prix
  • Playing in the church gym with the Masseys
  • Visiting the Capurros
  • Receiving lots of cute free clothes--some brand new, some from a homeless woman!
  • Flying home with a special friend I haven't seen in a long time :)
Photos coming soon!

I have family in Las Vegas too - well actually Henderson. That is where we will be for Christmas this year. Sounds like you had a great time.
