LAS VEGAS

LAS VEGAS

We left LA around 9am for the 4 hour drive or so to Las Vegas. It was pretty boring and uneventful aside from devouring our cheesecakes, they were pretty amazing. We arrived at the hotel which was looking right down Fremont Street. Within 20mins of us entering the room Lili had blocked the toilet. Aarahi tried to fix it, it was gross. Finally we called someone to come and he had it fixed in less that 10seconds. We also had ANOTHER talk with our children in regards to their excess toilet paper usage.

We made last minute plans to catch up with some of Aarahi's family for dinner. Unfortunately we couldn't catch them all but hopefully next time. We heard good things about the pizza at our hotel so bought a few of them to take. They were not the greatest pizzas I have ever had but there was a delicious salad made from Uncle Brian's garden. That man is amazing, he is 90 something and still gardening even though he has to drag himself and crawl along the ground. That is some serious dedication!

The next day we needed a break, and the kids needed to just relax and play. We were told about a neat container park with playground that we thought we would visit. Luckily for us it was just a 5 min walk from our hotel. We walked down Fremont street....definitely an experience and not one I particularly enjoyed. We ended up spending almost 6 hours at the park. SIX HOURS! In that time though my parents came to hang out for a bit and Aarahi caught up with one of his mission companions and his wife and adorable new baby. I had to go back to the hotel to pick up the treats we had bought from Australia for Aarahi's mission friend. But it was lucky I did because I ended up coughing and peeing my pants a little and needing to change. Pregnancy has lots of fun stuff attached to it. I guess when you are on to number 4 your pelvic floor is pretty much destroyed.

On my way back to the hotel I just happened to see my brothers and step-dad going down the zip line. They said it was pretty awesome.

We went to Whole Food's for dinner. The kids were in love with the salad bar, well the fruit salad bar. They made themselves big bowls of salad for dinner and then a cup of fruit salad and yoghurt for our road trip in the morning.

Stay tuned for our next post when it is Auron's turn to be sick and vomit in the hotel hallway, the hotel elevator, and almost non-stop between Las Vegas and St George!

Auron's creation. Some other kids came and wanted to play in it. We had to take a photo before it was destroyed
