Lunch and relaxation!

Michelle has such a great memory, she remembered a time when Matt was in Las Vegas for training and met him at the Hofbrauhaus. Apparently Matt and his friends really liked it. I have a feeling it was more the booze than the food but they were both pretty good. We were all able to meet up again! What am I going to do when we have to leave tomorrow. I think I should move to Vegas and Matt can come live with us on the weekends? At least I would have a little family near then! This place was really neat. While we were waiting for our food, Dalan was asked to help with a song. He was told to play the bell when pointed to. It took him a couple tries to understand but he eventually picked it up! A little while later the musician was making an announcement (his accent was very thick and he was hard to understand) and mentioned something about Nebraska; I'm guessing he saw Dalan's shirt when he was playing the bells. Just as he was mentioning Nebraska a table to guys was sitting down and one of them thought he was talking about him. Apparently he was from Nebraska too. He was in awe that they musician knew that! Well, we let him in on it a little later! The musician however, started playing Hail Varsity! What the heck! How did we just get a German restaurant in Las Vegas to play the Nebraska fight song? It was so funny but awesome! After lunch it was time to say goodbye to my Vegas cousins. We had our luau tonight and were taking off tomorrow. I hate saying goodbye but I know that since we are only four hours apart we will be seeing each other again soon!

 

 

After lunch we decided to forgo naps in order to get more time at the pool and pray it doesn't backfire on us later tonight. Our pool time so far has been split up by all our running around. This was nice to have the rest of the afternoon to just play in the sun! We hopped back and forth from the main pool to the lazy river. Brilyn was floating on my back in the lazy river and apparently felt very lazy; she fell asleep while floating. Naptime for her lasted about an hour while the rest of us swam and floated! I think it was a win win!

Happy Anniversary honey! It isn't Hawaii or Jamaica but it is with you and that is what matters most!

Dalan and Jayen were playing so nice together. They all were actually! The boys were having jumping contests in the pool. Dalan was being so supportive of Jayen and even jumped in and put his hands out to catch Brilyn a couple times.

Notice the drink? I think he needs another hand. I'll grab the beer!

 

We stayed in the pool as long as we possibly could before we had to get ready for the luau! Since we weren't sure if we would be able to go to the luau or not I really didn't pack luau clothes for anyone. We got in line early to make sure we could get a good spot, but other people had the same idea and beat us. I packed the tablet, ipad, and DS to keep them occupied if the luau didn't. Hoping we don't have to use them.

 

 

IMPOSSIBLE to get a good picture of the three of them!

The couple in front of us was trying to take a picture so I stole their camera and took it for them. Then they insisted on returning the favor. It actually started a chain reaction. Matt then took the picture for the couple behind us.

 

It sure isn't the Kalua pork he remembers but he still ate his fair share (plus some)!

 

I would have much rather been in Hawaii but we still had fun. I liked being able to share this experience with the kids.
