With Covid-19 we weren't sure if we'd be able to go to Las Vegas for our regular May trip, but luckily we made it! We went a week later than usual because Uncle BJ had the whole week off (he took the week off to go hunting but didn't get a tag 🙁)
We busted out some water wows for the boys to do in the car and it kept them occupied for a good hour!
We finally left Salt Lake early enough to make a stop at The Creamery in Beaver and the boys LOVED it! They loved getting their own little ice cream. Of course we also picked up some squeaky cheese for Granky and my parents. Nolan is still talking about going back the next time we go to Las Vegas.
I added this picture to say...this was the most difficult LV trip we've had in a long time. For the first time in a long time we left at about 2 instead of 5 or 6 like we usually do and it's crazy how much longer it took us to get there! The older boys stayed awake the entire time, ugh haha. Caden of course had to eat a couple of times so we had to stop for that. Oh, and strangely, Branson had his best potty day in months while on the drive. Seriously, he told us when he needed to go, HELD IT while we got to a place or pulled off to the side....what?!! He hasn't done that consistently at home in at least 2 months, but he did it while on a road trip?? Just add that to the list of reasons I don't understand Branson at all haha.
Caden loves grandpa and great-grandpa ♡
#1 on our list of things to do - swimming! First stop, Uncle BJ's.
Nolan swam so hard he crashed before dinner!
Next up - always on the boys list of things to do in LV - playing with Uncle BJ's legos! They seriously love it and he's a good sport to let them play with (read: destroy) some of his legos.
Next up - Gm and Gp's pool! This was an impromptu morning swim. They asked and I said, "sure!" I think they loved being able to just put on their suit and walk out the back door to go swimming 🙂
Caden's main role for the weekend was to melt hearts. Mission accomplished.
Branson and his 'best fwend' Logan
Scootering to Granky's house!
I have to record this. We walked into Granky's house and he was right in the middle of making his dinner. He was poaching an egg so I asked if I could help. He appreciated that and told me to put it on top of his piece of toast. I've never actually done that before so I was a little unsure. Anyway, I dumped it on and was putting the pan back on the stove when he noticed there was a teensy bit of milk left on the bottom of the pan so he told me to scrape the bottom of the pan and "get all of it." Haha, oh Granky, he's been the same all of his life. He leaves NOTHING on a chicken bone and once cursed at Preston for throwing away a perfectly good piece of bread (bc it had nuts in it) haha!! No wasting!
I was giving Granky a back scratch and Nolan wanted a turn. He's always so sweet to Granky.
Back to Gm and Gp's for an evening swim.
We went to Kids Club again and stayed for almost 5 hours! The boys had an absolute blast.
We planned to leave with the rest of the group, but Nolan made this cute friend and they were playing so well together (something Nolan is working on) so we stayed for another hour and a half!
Cousins! On the way to BJ's house Branson said, "if I could wish upon a wishing star, I'd wish for a baby sister." Awwww.
Swim #2 at Uncle BJ's
Justin had a little accident
(hehe, Branson sat on him when he was wet)
Nolan always gives Granky the longest, biggest hugs and it melts my heart.
Branson is still a little bit nervous, but he would always at least wave and say "bye Granky!" and the last day he shook his hand 🙂
Nolan played I Am a Child of God for home church and even played an introduction. We started singing right away and after a few measures Nolan said, "No, that's just the starting part!" and started over. I was impressed he knew to do that!
Aaaaand...they're out!
