Summer Vacation

We had a great time on our trip to Vegas and the Grand Canyon with the kids. We drove to Vegas and the car ride was not too bad. The kids loved Vegas there was so much to see and do. Kaelen's favorite part of the trip was the M&M Factory. We went to see the knights of Tournament at Excalibur. What a great show! Braeden and Kable loved it. Kaelen finally started to get into the show and Haeden was a little scared. She was not a big fan of the explosions and fire. If you have ever been on vacation with me you know I have to see and do everything (my poor husband & kids). So we stayed pretty busy. We did give the kids so down time everyday which was definitely needed. I think more so for Kable and I then the kids. Traveling with small children can be very stressful. We went to Red Rock and hiked and climbed. It was pretty hot and the girls were not really into it but, Braeden and Kable seemed to have fun exploring.





















We were in Vegas for about four days and then we drove to the Grand Canyon. On the way there we of course had to stop at Hoover Dam. Again the kids were not big fans. We went on the power plant tour. I think Kable and I would of enjoyed it more if the kids were not so cranky.
We finally arrive at the Grand Canyon and it is beautiful. The pictures do not do justice. I do have to say I was very nervous with the little ones. Everyone talks about the deaths at the Grand Canyon and the Park ranger told me to hold their hands. That was a little scary. There are parts where there is no fence or wall and people just stand on the edge of the rocks. The kids did great! It was definitely more laid back then Vegas. We had a nice time. We just walked around and we went on a great sunset tour of the Grand Canyon. I highly recommend. That was the best part of the trip. I really enjoyed the bus trip. Our tour guide was very informative. We did come home a day early we were going to drive back to Vegas for one more day but, Kaelen was getting home sick and wanted her toys. So we decided to just head back. The ride home was long. The kids did awesome. It was so nice to spend the week with just the family. What great memories we made.
