Laughlin 2008

Court's family vacations in Laughlin every year and we always have such a blast. We used to go a few times, but this year we just went once. Now some of you might be thinking "Laughlin? That's for old people who drink and gamble." Not us. This is what we did.

While waiting to meet up for dinner the first night, we went to the arcade and found Dino. Hayden was in heaven! He kept saying "I need money's" Then we walked the riverwalk for awhile
This picture is dark, but I really like it cause I think it's the only 4 generation picture that we have.
Sitting on Grandma Wendy's lap waiting for our food. Just a note, if you are ever in Bullhead City, DO NOT eat at Chili's. They we really nice, but SLOW as TAR. It was awful!!
Saturday: THE RIVER!!!!!
I wasn't sure that he would like the life jacket, but we told him that if he wanted to play in the water he had to wear it. No complaints!! He kept it on all day.


Swimming with Aunt Heidi

On the Jet Ski with Mom. Becky-it looks like we are out far but we really aren't, I promise. And I only went like 15 mph.
I would like to say this is the first picture of him on the jet ski, but it isn't. Court took him out when I ran back to the hotel to get his water shoes that I somehow forgot. I was so mad a Court for doing that and me missing it. I don't like to miss the "firsts" Aunt Sheri got pictures, so I will get to see it, but I wasn't there. But, on the bright side, this is the first picture of him on the jet ski with Me.
Just loungin.

Running in the water. He was falling when I took this picture. I thought it looked pretty cool.
That night we went to an arcade at a different hotel. We wanted to take him to the "kid kastle" at the Riverside hotel. We thought it was a play area, but it turns out it was a baby sitting place and we didn't want to leave him there. So we went to the arcade there.
He just loved putting the tokens in the machines and getting tickets.
Then, we went to the outlet mall. I'm glad we didn't take our stroller in because we walked in the door and he freaked out at this one. We were only there about 30 minutes, but it was worth the $2.
That night Hayden and I were on our own for dinner. We left the river a little early and everyone ate on their way back to the hotel. Court went to the casino(I know, he's going to hell) with his cousins, so Hayden and I hung out. We walked down the riverwalk and saw the fish and ducks. In one area there were 5 raccoons right on the shoreline. I took a picture cause they were so cute, but it was dark and it didn't turn out very well. We got to the Aquarius Casino and ate at Panda Express.
After our walk, Hayden wanted to watch "Lady and the Ramp" We were up so late that night because he took a late nap. It was so fun to hang out with him all night and play. I was sad that Court missed how fun he was. He is such a cute kid.

The next morning after breakfast, he ask Papa for some money to ride Dino before we went home. How cute is that face?!?!

Here he is with Papa feeding the fish even though signs were posted EVERYWHERE asking us not to.
And then he chased the pigeons on our way out. He was yelling "pigeons come here" It was so funny.
A big Thank you to all of Wendy's family who came and made it another unforgettable trip! We love you all!!
