Vacation!

This week we all went on a much needed vacation. Jason finished up school so he was ready for a break, and it just so happened to coincide with Harley weekend down in Laughlin, NV, where Jason's from. On the way down we stopped for a night in Mesquite, NV to stay with his parents. When we went to the store to get some stuff for dinner we had a little car drama. Since the weather was so nice we decided to drive with the windows down. When we got the store the driver's side window wouldn't go back up. The motor for the window decided it wasn't just time for a vacation but for retirement. Good thing the weather was so nice. So we had to empty everything out of our car and hope that someone didn't decide to steal it during the night. The funny part was after we emptied everything out, Jason locked the car, just in case. =) We found a repair shop that said the could fix it first thing in the morning, but the repair shop failed to tell us that they didn't have the part in stock and that they would have to get it from somewhere else, which turned out to be Vegas. So first thing in the morning turned out to be after they got the part and then they went to lunch.

So to amuse ourselves while waiting for the car to be fixed we had to find things to amuse ourselves. Jason's mom has a little scooter and last time we were here Brenna was scared to ride it but this time we almost had to peel her off it because she had so much fun riding it.

Once the car was fixed we continued on to my mom's house. Yay!! Brenna was so excited because Nana (my mom) told her she put up her pool for her to play in. As soon as we pulled up and she saw the pool she couldn't get out of the car and into her swimsuit fast enough. She is such a little fish. She convinced Daddy to play in the pool with her after dinner and Ian got his first swimming lesson too. Brenna played in the pool everyday we were there, usually several times and for several hours each day.

Nana got to babysit the kids Friday night while me and Jason went out for a couple hours to walk through all the vendors for the Laughlin River Run. Nana loves her grandkids and had fun watching them. When my sister was living there she had my niece's bed in my mom's room so while we were there Brenna got to sleep in that bed. She thought it was so cool to sleep in Nana's room, in her "own" bed. It was so nice to be able to go and visit my mom, even though we couldn't spend a lot of time together cuz she had to work. Things get super busy at the dealership during the River Run so she couldn't take any time off. We still had fun though. Thank you Nana! WE had lots of fun playing in your pool and riding your motorcycle and Razr....wait a minute....I didn't get to do any of those...just Jason and Brenna did....oh phooey.
