Lake Mead/ Lake Las Vegas

Last week over Memorial day we were invited to go with my brother and his family down to Lake Mead. We love Lake Mead and so of course we were stoked to get out on the boat somwhere with nice warm water, and we stayed in the most amazing town home in Lake Las Vegas. I am not use to showering and actually blow drying my hair after a perfect day on Lake Mead but I really enjoyed that part; oh and sleeping in a bed that was comfy cozy yahoooo! The water was amazing and both of the girls went tubing and wake surfing(with Tom of course) and had a blast with their cousins. I kept telling Bree that I was sad because I don't think she said more than 10 words to me the entire trip because she was so in heaven with Dylan, Olivia, and Elena but who wouldn't they are so adorable. One morning we woke up with Sophie walking into our room crying for mom and so I thought maybe she had slept on the floor in with Bree and Olivia. That entire day Bree and Olivia were on a search to solve the case. Not only was this very dramatic we had a musical section of Bree and Olivia singing back and forth to eachother on how Sophie sneaked out of mommy and daddy's room. We had so many wonderful meals and went into Vegas so that the kids could see the Atrium and Water show at the Balagio. It was a trip full of fun and Sophie saying "Oh My Gosh" the enitre time. Me and Stacey somehow came home with fryed shoulders but it was all worth the pain!!

Sophie, Tom, Dylan and Olivia tubing. Sophie waved at us the entire time she loved it!


Bree does not like to go fast but she tried.


Stacey, Elena, and Sophie


Cute girls





So my camera sucks and all the shots of Tom and Sophie surfing were blurry, oh and I forgot to push record on the video camera. SUCKS! She had so much fun and wanted it to be her turn every time!

Lake Las Vegas had the most amazing pool for little ones and Sophie and Elena loved it.



In and Out Burger of Course






This is a Golf course in Lake Las Vegas that they have shut down and I saw all these balls in the little lake so Tom was able to pick up 35 nice golf balls. People I am sure thought we were the craziest people in the world.

I am a Skier but I tryed this wake surf thing that everyone loves and I enjoyed it as long as the water was smooth. I don't do bumpy water!! I still have to hold the rope:)

you go! That surfing thingy looks fun. LOVE your suit!
For me, the only way to go boating is to have a bed and a shower :)

Celeste said...
