Grandmas Visit

Grandma called and asked if she could come for a visit and bring some of the kids cousins with her. OF COURSE!!! Dutch and Maylee were super excited for their weekend with Grandma, Jackson, Ashley and Amber. It was going to be a quick trip, less than 24 hours so we had to pack it all in super tight. We started Friday night off with slumber party with Grandma in the living room. Fawn and five of her grandkids all slept in my living room. Dutch and Jackson on the air mattress with Grandma, Ashley and Maylee on the other air mattress and Amber on the couch. Seriously Fawn is such an amazing Grandma! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the slumber party, I'm still mad at myself for that.
Saturday morning we started the day at IHop's for breakfast. The kids all enjoyed ordering pancakes and eggs and sitting by their cousins. It was quite a nosiy experience, I'm sure people around was weren't pleased but who cares, the kids had fun and that's all that matters. After breakfast we headed straight over to the Lion feeding. First we stopped at the candy store, because the kids just didn't get enough sugar at breakfast and then we got to watch the lions eat a snack. Third time watching the lions eat and I still enjoy it. Although that will be the last time, the MGM is removing the lion exhibit from their casino. Sad! From there we headed to the "water zoo". We had to call it the "water zoo" because Jackson was afraid to go to the Shark Reef. But once we were there all the kids loved it and had a great time seeing all the fish and watching the sharks. After the Shark Reef, we had six very exhausted children, so we headed back to the house to eat a late lunch and let the kids play. The kids filled up on pizza, cookies and donuts, Maylee ate way too much. They loved jumping on the trampoline together, and Amber was quite the photographer taking pictures of everyone. We had a great time with Grandma, Jackson, Ashley and Amber and we can't wait for them to come back and visit us again. Thanks Fawn for a fun day!!!
