We were due to go to Las Vegas to do some business with the house we've possibly inherited, so we decided to take the kids and call it vacation. Our first 4 days were spent in LV at the JW Marriott in an awesome suite.
The kids at the JW pool & waterfall.

Excaliber pool & slide - Morgan
Thomas doin' the slide.
One trip down the slide w/ Dad & Madi was going on her own over and over!
Lake Mead over look.
HOOVER DAM:
We toured Hoover Dam and went down inside. Pretty amazing that it was built in the 1930's (1931-1935) and so quickly with what equipment they had back then!
Inside the Hoover Dam (500 feet down!)
GRAND CANYON:
Then, off we went onto the Grand Canyon - so beautiful! Lisa didn't care for the kids on the edge very much she would freak out each time! We stayed the night in the park and rode the shuttle bus to various outlooks.
Kids get Away from the edge. Quit going
under the fence!!!!
We stayed at the Maswik lodge which was a far cry from the JW in Vegas!!! The ceiling fan they spoke about was actually a fan screwed to the wall! ha ha ha! Oh, we saw a deer walk right by our cabin. Morgan was loving that!
Then, onto Phoenix through Flagstaff. Lisa liked Flagstaff.... We made it to Lisa's brother's house in Phoenix (have to know how to get there to get their dog back to them afterall)!
T-Pee stop!
PHOENIX:
Patty, Ryan and Natalie really welcomed us with open arms! Spent the night with them and were able to do some babysitting for Natalie! She just loves her "Uncle Yob". But she gave some time this time too!
Morgan, Lisa, Madi & Natalie

We scooted home the next day Madi was all of a sudden homesick. Maybe me too. The kids were fantastic on the driving trip and earned themselves the right to go again soon!
