Staycation

Kam took the week off after his birthday so we could take the kids to Disneyland. At the last minute though we decided we needed to save our money so instead of going to Disneyland we stayed home and planned some fun things to do near our home. We had a really fun time and it was made more fun with my dad who came down to join in on some of the fun. He arrived Tuesday afternoon and after playing games with the kids he and Kam took the boys to a movie while I went to the temple to do baptisms with the youth in our ward. The next day we went out to lunch and then headed up to Red Rock for a hike.

My dad was ahead of me and climbed on top of

Always in the Trees

After the hike we said goodbye to my dad and headed up to Mt. Charleston to stay overnight. Our night was a crazy one up there. First we had to change rooms as the first one was freezing cold and we couldn't get the heater to work and then after eating dinner and watching a movie we settled in for a LOOOONG night. Sadly, Riley started to fever up and she was up off and on all night. We were so tired in the morning and she was burning up so instead of playing in the mountains we just took a ride around getting out quickly to make a snowman and then went to lunch and headed home. Our original plan was to spend the day at the Adventure Dome at Circus Circus but since we were all so tired I opted to stay home with Sick Riley and Kam took the boys bowling, to Rocket Fizz for a treat and then to the movies instead. All in all it was still a really fun time and time we definitely needed together as a family. I think we'll try this staycation thing again for sure; let's just hope we don't have any sicklings next time.
