We bought the day in the boat with the Chipmans at the ward auction! I love boating and I love the Chipmans so… WE HAD A BLAST!
We all wakeboarded, then had lunch and then surfed. It was super fun. Ben and Tiago didn’t come because Tiago had a soccer game. Stacey adn Henry had to leave part way thru… Thanks Greg and Will!
Millie and Maren sold cookies and treats and drinks and stuffed animals!! Tiago and Ray and all of us went to Bro Wise’s house for a campfire dinner 🙂
(except I’m typing this in January 🙁 ) Ray and Tiago did early morning soccer training with Udine all week! Waking up early in the summer is brutal but these kids are up for it. And Millie is loving cooking, especially breakfast foods and using the mini appliances. Millie is also doing the swim thing!! Taco Amigo Benji! We did a backyard campfire smores night 🙂 and Ben and I were invited to Jleigh’s 30th bday party at the Salt Lake Cheesecake Factory! We had fun watching them do their thing 🙂 Summer, summer, summer time 🙂
We got kicked off the boat Friday morning! One more buffet breakfast and then we made our way off. The van battery was dead but otherwise all was well and we drove to Las Vegas!
The hotel had an aracde in it, also a bowling tournament and a theater and a magic show. We went to the magic show and we played at the arcade. And we met up with the Falabella’s for dinner 🙂
Horse Back Riding! We got picked up and drove about an hour – the tour guide told us all about the things we passed and then she dropped us off at the ranch with the spanish speaking cowboys! We got all fit for our horse ride! And took off!
We were all pretty nervous about riding horses but it was fun! Tiago and Millie and Ray all had one of the guides with them. Rose’s horse kept wanting to eat. We went up to the mountain look out and then back down. I think we all really liked it.
Then the van took us back into town and we shopped and ate tacos. The Mexican people swarmed us and tried to get us to buy bracelets and trinkets and hair and everything!
The girls got their hair done and bought a few bracelets. The boys got Poncho’s and Tiago got a Messi jersey! Then we made our way back to the boat for dinner and night life!
Before dinner we snuck in a game of Laser Tag! and after dinner we took Millie and Tiago to the kid zone and then Benji, Packer, Cali and Rose all sang karaoke!!
Another amazing Day together as a family!
We ferried over to the island and ran to the golf cart rental and snagged a 6 man and a 4 man cart! Only Ben and I could drive but they gave us a map and we went across the island. We enjoyed the sights and the views and had fun seeing the island for the golf cart!
Then we NEEDED Donuts:
And found our way over to the miniature golf course! Where we all played all 18 holes!
Then we headed to the ice cream shop and enjoyed ice cream on the beach!!!
Then it was back to the boat – a long ferry line and we made it – dinner and fun and then bed!
Rock Wall
Everything was pretty packed – like the sport court and the flow rider – but we found some fun and some buffets!
We hit the water slides! They had a double tube ride and a mat ride. I loved the mat one but the tube was fun cause you were with someone else. Cali and Millie got stuck on the tube ride on the first day!!! And then we ran in to Dave and Lenore!!
We went to the front of the ship to explore and see our bedrooms!
Dinner – we had the early dining: Formal Night! and Ben had everyone try escargot.
SILENT DJ – the dance was fun because you had to have had phones and then the 2 dj’s were battlong to get you to listen to their song. All Silent. Stutz’s were there too.
It was such a fun day. Mixed in with ice cream runs and doing whatever sounded fun!
