Boat Show 2012 and Our Trip to Vegas

Last week we made our annual trip to the Boat Show. This was the first year Josh didn't go with friends, instead he got stuck with his wife and baby. :) I think it was ok. We weren't sure if Elliott would remember the boat, so we put her in one just like ours to make sure. Yep, she remembered, especially the drivers seat where all the buttons are. She thought it was great, and seemed at home. I take this as a good sign. Another reason to look forward to Summer! We found out at the Boat Show that there is going to be a ski lake community about 2 miles from our house. It would be an absolute dream for us to live on a lake, especially a ski lake. We got the info, but I think this will continue to be a dream...home lots are a little out of our price range. :) Maybe one day.


Friday we packed up and headed to Sunny Las Vegas. We had planned going to visit the Johnson's President's Day Weekend, but Jill called and needed a babysitter for the weekend before. We obliged, and went a week early. To start off, I don't know how Jill does it! 5 kids was enough to put me in the crazy house! The weekend was sure busy, but we had a lot of fun. I wish we could have stayed a little longer, and maybe got to spend some time with Jill and Aaron. Thanks for letting us visit, Jill! Now Josh and I get a weekend away while you watch 6 kids, right? :)

Elliott did great on the drive. She loved playing with all the kids. and was in Heaven with Gracie at her beck and call.

Here is Elsie screaming "Elliott". They all swear she doesn't normally do this, but I think Aaron taught her this on purpose. :)



Here is Elliott on a trampoline for the first time. Elliott LOVED to be outside. It was like 70 degrees.
