Vegas Day 3

Ok, we have been back from Vegas for almost 2 months and I still haven't finished blogging the trip. When we left for Vegas Kadence woke up with a tiny cough. On our 3rd day in Vegas she woke up SO sick. She was completely miserable! I thought we were going to have to stay in the hotel the whole day because she just kept breaking down in tears. The poor girl. Shelby hated seeing her sick. She just kept bringing her different toys and snacks to try and cheer her up.

Luckily, she started feeling a little better and we headed out for lunch at the Harley Davidson Cafe. It was a really hot walk, but the girls did great! We stopped for pictures on the Harley out front.

Inside they had actual bikes that were on a track and went over your head and around the whole cafe...upstairs and down. The flag was made entirely from chains hanging from the ceiling that were pained. It was really neat.

She really did enjoy the meal and coloring, but was just so miserable from her cold.

Shelby loved it!

On our way back to the hotel we saw the green M&M which is the girls favorite M&M.

We headed back to the hotel to go swimming again with the family. We stopped in the lobby to get some towels, and saw this sign. It is for the hotels library...we laughed so hard! Then we realized it was a "leave a book, take a book" sort of thing which then became a really great idea!

This time we were able to swim with both Amanda and Rachel's families as well as Grandma and Grandpa Gerry.

After we were done swimming we went to Amanda's room to mingle one last time before all of our trips home.....and Rachels trip to Disneyland. (SO jealous)

Here is the whole family, minus my brother Jason and his family and my brother Jonathan and his family. Luckily Jeff still hadn't left for Phantom of the Opera yet so we were able to get everyone in the picture and surprisingly I think everyone is looking at the camera!



And here is our family with Grandma and Grandpa Gerry

After we dropped Jeff of at the Venetian to watch his amazing show, we went to McDonalds and then home to watch Gnomeo and Juliet. It was a nice relaxing few hours. When we picked Jeff up he offered to watch the girls for a bit so we could go out together without kids. We got the girls settled down and in their PJ's and headed out to gamble! We had been watching a Deal or No Deal machine all day and had tried it and lost about $15 and won about $14 so we were almost even. We decided to play smart instead of with greed and we actually won $40! It is my all time favorite machine now because I don't understand the ones that turn like slot machines and match rows and diagonals...they just don't make any sense. $40 was enough for us and we headed out because we knew the girls must be getting tired. We text and Jeff told us that Kadence was crying so we REALLY tried to hurry. If we weren't leaving in the morning we would have just cashed out in the morning, but we wouldn't have time and we didn't want to lose our winnings. We went to the machine that pays out and it was broken, then we were directed to another machine...and another machine. Then finally someone told us that none of them were working and we'd have to go to the actual cashier. When we finally got back Kadence was still crying and I felt TERRIBLE for making Jeff deal with it. I picked her up in my arms and she immediately stopped. That happens at home and it is so frustrating for David. Sometimes they just simply want their mommy I guess.

We went to bed and again Kadence woke up crying off and on. We figured it was going to be a loooong plane ride, but she did really well. I even did better this time. The flight was a lot more smooth and landing and take off were great! The only hang up was that the little boy behind us kept crying "owie owie" I felt so bad for him and his very pregnant mom. He eventually puked everywhere. I handled it so much better than I thought I would and even handed back some wipes and sanitizer.

We had a great trip and it was so nice to have my girls meet my dad and my step mom. Now they have a face to put with the grandparents who send cards. I'm so happy we made the effort to go down.
