My husband decided to be spontaneous and book us a little mini vaycay at the Tahiti Village in Las Vegas. The boys had a 4 day weekend over Memorial Day so it was a good time to go have some fun. We only stayed for 2 nights so that we could be back for church but that was ok. It almost didn't happen for Kyle and I because Wednesday afternoon he came down with a pretty high fever. He was up during the night with fever of 103 and it was a really rough night. We decided that since the hotel was already paid for and none refundable that Don would take the boys in Thursday afternoon when they got out of school and I would stay home with Kyle and hope and pray that he would get better so we could come in on Friday. His fever stayed until Thursday evening and didn't come back. He had no other symptoms but the fever so it was a little strange. Don and the boys left around 4 for Vegas, checked into the hotel and then headed right for the pool. They hung out there for a while, ordered some of the food from the pool side restaurant and the ordered pizza later that night while watching movies. They got up Friday morning and went to breakfast at Denny's which was right on site and then went back to the pool. Kyle was much better Friday morning so we headed in about 11:30, made a stop at Target and then met up with Don and the boys around 1:30. We hung out at the lovely pool and the kids had a great time. Kyle especially loved the sandy beach entry area where there were lots of sand toys to play with. The kid was fearless though and kept walking farther and farther out into the water until he would fall over. We had to be right by him the entire time because he would just go right under. He was pretty good about knowing to flip himself over though. Kyle and I stayed at the pool until about 4:30 and by then he was pretty worn out and I was getting worried about him getting sunburned. After a really thorough bath to get all the sunblock and sand off him, he proceeded to tear up the hotel room and call papa on the phones. I ended up just unplugging them and letting him play with them rather than trying to keep him away from them. Don and the boys stayed at the pool and went to play in the lazy river for a while longer. When they came back to the room we ordered dinner from the hotel restaurant for me and Kyle and then Don and Caleb went to Cane's just across the way for chicken strips. We spent a relaxing evening doing nothing and the boys were actually asleep pretty early, Kyle barely made it to 8:30. With the dark curtains in the room we were able to sleep to all of 8:45 before Kyle woke up. Funny side note-I was having a hard time going to sleep and so at about midnight I asked Don for an ambien. I took a whole one-big mistake-apparetly Kyle woke up around 1:30 and I hardly remembered it. We had a lovely conversation while Kyle was up tossing and turning for about an hour and a half. Don told me about it the next morning. He finds those midnight conversations pretty funny. The next morning we got up, cleaned up and packed up and went down to breakfast at the Denny's right there at the hotel. I remembered Denny's as always being cheap and not as tasty but I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food really was. After breakfast we loaded up and headed across the street to where the outlet mall was. I hadn't been there in years and years. It was very crowded but it was huge! We shopped for a while until Kyle had had enough. Don took Cayden and Kyle home and Caleb and I finished some shopping at Costco and Walmart. We also dropped off an ankle brace for Elder Lane who had been transferred just few days before. It was a really nice surprise mini-vacay.
