    No Comments

    We drove home from Vegas on Saturday! We had such a great week with the kids. Cruise life was good for all of us. We had just the best few days with no chores, no cares no nothing. One of the best vacations ever.

    On Sunday – we went to church and took Benji’s mission picture!! and CELEBRATED OUR FATHERS!!!

    Ben got a card and gifts from his kids and we went to Matt and Jamie’s for dinner and for time with Grandpa.

    Ben loved driving us to California and cruising with his kids. He literally was in heaven all week. Happy Ftahers Day to one of the BEST!

    We got kicked off the boat Friday morning! One more buffet breakfast and then we made our way off. The van battery was dead but otherwise all was well and we drove to Las Vegas!

    The hotel had an aracde in it, also a bowling tournament and a theater and a magic show. We went to the magic show and we played at the arcade. And we met up with the Falabella’s for dinner 🙂

    Horse Back Riding! We got picked up and drove about an hour – the tour guide told us all about the things we passed and then she dropped us off at the ranch with the spanish speaking cowboys! We got all fit for our horse ride! And took off!

    We were all pretty nervous about riding horses but it was fun! Tiago and Millie and Ray all had one of the guides with them. Rose’s horse kept wanting to eat. We went up to the mountain look out and then back down. I think we all really liked it.

    Then the van took us back into town and we shopped and ate tacos. The Mexican people swarmed us and tried to get us to buy bracelets and trinkets and hair and everything!

    The girls got their hair done and bought a few bracelets. The boys got Poncho’s and Tiago got a Messi jersey! Then we made our way back to the boat for dinner and night life!

    Before dinner we snuck in a game of Laser Tag! and after dinner we took Millie and Tiago to the kid zone and then Benji, Packer, Cali and Rose all sang karaoke!!

    Another amazing Day together as a family!

    We ferried over to the island and ran to the golf cart rental and snagged a 6 man and a 4 man cart! Only Ben and I could drive but they gave us a map and we went across the island. We enjoyed the sights and the views and had fun seeing the island for the golf cart!

    Then we NEEDED Donuts:

    And found our way over to the miniature golf course! Where we all played all 18 holes!

    Then we headed to the ice cream shop and enjoyed ice cream on the beach!!!

    Then it was back to the boat – a long ferry line and we made it – dinner and fun and then bed!
