4th of July in Vegas!!

If you have already read this post yes originally I said it was memorial day but really it was 4th of July sorry :)

Ok so I'm still trying to get better at this whole blogging thing and I'm a little behind so its time to play catch up before we move to Boston so stay tuned for about 2 more posts in the next 2 weeks :)

So for 4th of July Kasey and I met up with my sister and brother and their spouses and my brothers 2 kids in Vega where my parents live! My mom has a friend that has jet skis and she let us barrow them so we decided to go to lake mead (actually I think it was called search light which was a little farther but a lot less crowded and prettier) and have ourselves some fun!! We spent the whole day Saturday at the lake and had an amazing time!! The lake was beautiful but it was soooooooo hot out. My brothers daughter Violet is only 3 months old so she didn't go out in the sun much but my dad brought a spray bottle so every once and a while we would spray her down to cool her off. When we would do it she was always so surprised by it and would just squirm it was really funny actually, poor little girl. Anyways here some pictures of the day :)

We were trying to make is so we were both facing the
camera but it never quite happened hahaha
Kasey and I
Andy and Paul
At the end of the day Andy and I went on a little ride and
did a bunch of donuts...I got pretty go at it hahah



On 4th of July we went out to an all you can eat place
and let me tell you we ate all we could eat!!!



Then we stopped by to thank my moms friend for
letting us use their jet skies and saw these street
signs and had to take a picture :)

All and all it was a really fun trip and I am so glad I was able to somehow get the weekend off so we could go play. I have been super nervous with us moving that I am not going to get to see my family as much as I would like so I am trying to get in as much time with them as possible before we move :) (sad thing is I didn't have any pictures of my parents or Nathan and his family at the lake :(....little Violet was sooooo adorable in her little strawberry swimsuit!!)
