We had a fun 4th of July this year, especially since Eric was in town (last year he was in London). Nana and Papa came to visit from Boise. They arrived on Friday and stayed until Tuesday morning. After they arrived at our house we just chilled out until Eric got home. Then we had some yummy lasagna dinner. We tried going to the park but it was really hot. Saturday morning we packed up and headed to the JW Marriott where Nana and Papa stayed the night. We had a really great time at the pool, especially since it was so hot.
Connor is fearless when it comes to the water. He will jump right in. He was also saying hi to a lot of the people passing by. He especially loved the teenage kids that started talking to him.
Enjoying some cheetos puffs.
Kyle is not as fearless, but he still loves to be in the water.
Drying off.
Trying to pose for a picture.
I was asking him to hold still, but instead he came right up to the camera. Silly boy!
Kade use to be terrified of getting into the water. He really likes the water now.
Kyle and Connor wanting to get into the water.
Kade crying because he was told not to do something we thought was dangerous. I told him I was taking pictures.
Connor is looking at him wondering if he is ok.
Now he is just pouting :(
Kade, Papa and daddy relaxing adter a lot of swimming.
This is how the boys like to swim. Eric will hold Kyle and Connor and Kade will jump on his back and hang on. They loved it!!
That night Nana and Papa went to see Phantom of the Opera while we went to the buffet and watched movies in the hotel room. Connor was so exhausted from the day he fell asleep while we were at the buffet.
The next day after I got done at church we went back over the the Marriott and swam some more. Afterwards we came home and lit some fireworks.
Kyle watching the fireworks.
Kyle running away from them.
Connor ended up having to sit in the stroller because he kept getting too close. He really wanted to get out.
On the 4th of July the boys, except Connor, went hiking up at Red Rock. When they got home Kyle and Connor took a little nap. When they woke up we went to the Red Rock Hotel/Casino to go bowling. When we were down we headed over to Eric's uncle Larry's house for dinner and more fireworks.
This was Kade's first time bowling.
He soon got tired of it and went to play with Kyle.
Watching the fireworks at Larry's airplane "hanger". They thought that was really fun.
This is what Connor was doing for part of the fireworks. But then a really loud one went off and woke him up. He soon up walking all over the place.
There was an executive jet we got to sit in. It was really nice! There was leather seats and cup holders. The boys liked it! I wanted to snap a picture of the boys by the airplane. Here is Kyle.
I kept asking him to stand by the airplane. He kept saying "right here" and then move "right here?" He kept doing this until he was right up by me. I think he looks very adorable and trying so hard to be a good boy!!!
Kade by the airplane. Don't you like how he is standing?!?!
Here is our attempt at a "4th of July" family picture. Would have worked if Kyle wasn't throwing a fit.
Papa reading stories to the boys.
Random picture.
Nana and Papa's attempt to get a good picture with the boys.
Thansk for coming and visiting us Papa and Nana!! We had a lot of fun and look forward to seeing you again!!!
