The kids have been counting down the days for our Las Vegas trip. Frank had a business conference there, and we decided it would be fun to turn it into a family vacation. I decided to drive alone with the kids on Thursday so I wouldn't miss Chase's long awaited 1st grade mothers day program. I got the car all packed up so we could leave right after the program...the trip went south even before we got in the car! Here's the LOW-LIGHTS:
1. Right before I was ready to leave, another 1st grader spilled her entire glass of LEMONADE down my back, in my hair - everywhere! I was anxious to get to St. George, so I just drove in my sticky state!
2. Logan was feeling SICK, so when we got to St. George, he just went straight to bed.
3. Realized we FORGOT TOOTHBRUSHES. Found a Walgreens where we purchases Motrin for Logan, flip flops, suncreen, toothbrushes and TREATS!
4. Next morning Frank and I had a little SPAT - so very QUIET breakfast! Anyone who knows me, knows how torturous the silent treatment is to me ;)
5. Logan still wasn't feeling well. Fever, cough, lost voice, and trouble breathing. We called insurance company and drove around for at least an hour til we found an INSTA CARE, where we waited patiently for another two! He had a sinus infection and had to get on anti biotics, and an anti-infalmmatory, so we found a pharmacy where we WAITED some more!
6. The hotel had a shark tank with a clear tube slide that went through it - this was supposed to be the highlight of the trip, but when we got there, it was SUPER CROWDED! And, the "crowd" wasn't very family friendly if you know what I mean! We decided to try it anyway, and just as the kids were getting used to the water, they CLOSED THE POOL due to stong winds. So, scratch that activity.
7. To make up for that mis hap, we were taking the kids to Carl's Jr., and a movie. Long story short, Logan wouldn't eat his cheeseburger, Frank got mad, Logan CRIED, Chase CRIED, Carly CRIED, so I CRIED :(
8. Left first thing in the morning - still in pj's. Quiet ride home. After being home about 15 minutes, Logan tripped Chase, and long story short - Chase ended up at insta care with STITCHES.

Suz that is the trip from hell! I am sorry! I am glad you got a few fun things out of it! This is for sure a Vegas trip you will never forget!
Dang! Well at least you have some cute pictures from the experience. If you were only looking at them, it would seem you had a GREAT time! I can't believe how many bad things happened. Wow. Better luck next time (if you ever attempt it again)!!
