Vegas Never Gets Old

Before Carter was born I'd only been to Las Vegas 3 times. Since he's been born we've gone every year. I've had people tell me that they don't think it's kid friendly, but I'd disagree. If you are walking the strip at 2am then yes, you are probably going to see/hear/smell some unpleasant things. However, during the day we find a lot to do and in the evening we enjoyed bowling and swimming at our hotel. For us it's a close and affordable little getaway and  we always have a great time!


 It was our first time seeing the M&M store - - all 4 stories of it!

We went on the High Roller Ferris Wheel (the tallest in the world!!)




(Btw, Carter isn't hurt. He just decided that he wanted to start wearing band aids for a little flare I suppose.)



Carter was so unbelievably cute bowling. He lifted, carried and rolled the 8 lb ball all by himself. His enthusiasm must have stood out because he soon had the 3 lanes next to us cheering him on...and he loved every second of it!







Another awesome trip!

Happy 4th of July

Our day was packed from morning until night. We headed to the parade bright and early (but still hot) to watch my dad walk in it with his church organization! Carter's favorite part was watching the planes fly overhead to signal the start.







We then came back to our house for a bbq and swimming at our friends pool



Russ made some chocolate chip cookies from scratch! Yum!!



And we finished the day off with fireworks and this beautiful view! 

Carter almost fell asleep, but he was a trooper and hung in there!


It was a day of family and being thankful for all of the blessings and opportunities made available to us because we live in the USA!
