Trip to Utah and Las Vegas

We spent the first part of our summer vacation going to Utah and Las Vegas.  We started in Utah for my nephew Jake's baptism and my cousin's mission homecoming. It was fun being able to visit with family.   Ryan had to leave during the week for work, but before he left we were able to visit with more family!! The kids really like playing with all their cousins!  After he left, we drove down to Las Vegas to visit my Grandma Hicks, go swimming and go to Lake Mead.  While we were at Lake Mead a military helicopter flew right over the boat.  It was SO COOL!!! We also ate at a couple buffets and did LOTS of swimming.  One night I crashed Alisa & Kurts date night and we went down to the strip. We saw the new Kardashian store in the Mirage and went and saw the Billagio water show. And went shopping at Cesears. Thanks Alisa for letting me crash - you're the BEST sister ever!!! The night before we left to go home, Brady got really sick and spent the night throwing up.  It was a long drive home from Vegas with a really sick toddler.  On Monday we ended up going to the Urgent Care in Utah to find out that he had the Rotavirus. He was sick a few more days before he snapped out of it.  Poor Brady!! Ryan was able to fly back and spend some more time with us.  We were so excited to have him around to enjoy our vacation. We spent the fourth playing games in the backyard and just enjoying each other.  It was a perfect fourth of July.  

The next Friday we went to Seven Peaks.  The kids had a blast doing the slides and spending more time in the water.  We stole Hudson for the day and Jake and Josh came down.  It was super crowded, but fun being able to be in the sun at a water park. That night they had a sleepover at Katies.  She was a trooper to let them spend the night.  They had a blast!

 It is always hard leaving family, but we had a great long trip! Thanks to everyone (Grandma, Grandpa, Alisa, Kurt, Jake, Josh, Katie, Brendon, Shay, Hudson, Rob, Aubrey, Jeff, Grandma Hicks, and Grandma Carol) for putting up with us! We had a blast!
