{Las Vegas!}

Our summer vacation began in Las Vegas this year.  We started at my BFF Tara's house, then headed to the Wagner's house!  Unfortunately, I was HORRIBLE about taking pictures while we were there.  I totally forgot to take the camera out at Tara's and only took pictures of the kids swimming at Aunt Kelly's.

I am going to have to break out some scrapbooks of the good old days of me and Tara.  We became neighbors in about 1991 and best friends from then on.  Even though we've lived apart for many years now, I know that when I go to see her, it's like no time has passed. We've just gotten older and had a few kids!  It's hard for me to believe that between Tara and I, there are 5 kids! {Insane!} I love that they can now play together and be friends.  I guess we just need to be next door neighbors again!

Our next stop was The Wagners!  The girls were super excited about playing with "the kids," playing with the dog and swimming! I was excited to sit and visit with my Aunt Kelly {and the rest of the family!}!  We had a great time.  You will never be short on laughter and insane stories at their house. They are just a fun, AWESOME family!

Unfortunately, we ended up leaving Vegas sooner than originally planned.  Since the kids asked us 8 million times if we were "there yet" during the 5 hour trip to Vegas, we decided to drive through the night to Idaho.  That way, we spent most of the 12 hour drive with the kids {and me} asleep.  It was tiring, but made the trip a lot more bearable!!
