This weekend our cousins from Fresno came up to cheer on their daddy at the Crossfit Sectionals.  They stayed at our house and we had a TON of fun playing with everything!  It was great having a “big” girl around to play with.  I can’t wait until Autumn is old enough to play with me.

We went for a walk to the park on Sunday and then Jamba Juice.  See what it took to get us all there!  We were actually very happy to play and go to Jamba juice despite the looks on our faces.  Mom said it’s hard enough to get 4 sets of open eyes and no crying-she want’ worried about smiles!

We played on the swings…

Here comes Giada!

She was to small to climb the ropes, but Meilani can do it.

I was telling Autumn all about the playground

She really wanted to get out and play.  Let’s go on the slide Autumn

I climbed up to the slide

Let me  serve you some tan bark!

Run, run like the wind!

Giada took a rest on the bike.

We are wearing our green today.  Tonight we are going to have corned beef and cabbage at Great Grandma’s house.  We’ll get to see Pony, Diane, and Howard too!  mom says she’ll try to remember the camera and take more pictures.

You can’t see Autumn’s green because I thought she was cold so I covered her up.

This trip is not well documented in pictures because Mom never had her camera, but I’ll tell you about it anyway.  First we rode in the car to the parking place, then we got to ride a bus from the car to the airport, then fly on a plane to Las Vegas, theeenn ride a tram in the airport, THEN take a shuttle bus to the hotel, and finally ride a taxi to dinner.  That’s a lot of ways to get places!

Autumn’s first plane ride

We stayed in this cool hotel called the Signature Hotel at MGM.  We had 2 rooms, a living room and kitchen.  We shared with Jeff, Caitlin, and Ryland so I got to see them lots.  Our grandma’s had a room each in another tower but they came to our room all the time.  By the way-grandpa was there part of the time, and so was Pony, Diane, Allie, her 2 friends, and Auntie Joni from Chicago!

I got to eat at a place were you can pick anything you want and have as much as you want.  It’s called a buffet and the ice cream sure was yummy!  Daddy and Grandma went golfing Monday and Tuesday.

We went to see the ProDPI booth-that was such a long walk I fell asleep in the stroller-and we never left the hotel.  We also went to the humongous M&M store and I got to pick lots of M&M things to bring home.

One night we watched the water dance to the music at the Bellagio hotel, and then we rode the monorail back to the hotel.

At night Mom kept disappearing and we would hang out with Dad and Grandma.  Every morning she would say that she lost her money.  Maybe if she kept it in her purse she wouldn’t have lost it-I’ll have to tell her that next time.  She did use some of her money to buy a new camera.  Her old one still works, but this one is NEW, it evens does movies-but isn’t that what her FLIP is for?!

See my purse-it still has it’s money in it!

Look at all those lights out there!

Sometimes all this walking is just exhausting!

Ryland and Autumn-AKA the fuzzy bears rode in the stroller.  Boy were people confused by this-they couldn’t figure out how someone had 2 babies, but obviously only a few months apart!
