Goodbye Mesquite for a long, long time!!

Carlie's first time going down the waterslide by herself
Cayden's first time going down a waterslide by himself

Carlie and Cayden with some of the cousins at the pool

Josh won this toy at the arcade and gave it to Carlie, what a nice cousin!!

This was Cayden's favorite car at the car show, Daddy better start saving up!!:)

All of the cousins (except we missed little Kooper who didn't come)
Lance always has to get a Pina Colada (virgin of course):)
Cayden and Zach

For a lot of years Lance's family would plan a trip every year around the 4th of July to Mesquite, Nevada. We have not gone for the last few years so this year they decided it was time to have a family vacation again. Most of the trip I do not want to remember!!! To sum it up Carlie was sick before we left, we thought she was better so we went a day later than planned. We got down there and she ended up being sick almost the entire trip! We get ready to get in the car to come home (a day earlier than planned) and Cayden starts puking everywhere!!! Just our luck!! Luckily we think the heat just bothered him (we are not quite used to the temperature being over 100 degrees yet)!!! So to focus on the one day of fun that we had, we mastered the waterslide! My kids have never liked waterslides!! I think it helped that they could sit on our laps. By the end of the day they were going down by themselves and loving it (as long as someone was waiting at the bottom to catch them)!!:) The kids did have a lot of fun playing at the pool with there cousins!

We love Mesquite! That waterslide looked like a lot of fun - my kids would love that! Sorry to hear the family wasn't feeling well.

Oh man, puking kids are bad. Puking kids on vacation are TERRIBLE! Just show your kids the pics of the waterslide and that's all they'll remember. That part looked fun anyway ;)

We stayed at the Casablanca Resort. It really does have the nicest pool! We have stayed at the Oasis in the past but now they closed it.

Sounds like a classic family vacation. They never seem to go well. I can remember some truly weird times in the red minivan all the way to upstate New York that I would rather not remember. lol
