EZ's Kindergarten graduation was way cuter than I expected. The kids looked so cute in their caps and gowns and their names on the sashes. The kids sang a few songs and they had a projector that flashed different photos from the year. It was so awesome! We got EZ a big balloon and a candy bar. The little boy next to him is his best friend, Gael.
Later that same day we took a drive to Las Vegas. Both my brothers were getting together and I couldn't turn down family time. You know I love it! It's about a 6 hour drive for me and John couldn't come. So, just me and the kids made the drive. It actually wasn't too bad. I love seeing my brothers together. They are so similar and so different at the same time. The next morning we took a hike, more like a stroll up to a waterfall. Only problem was we couldn't find it! We wandered around for a while and Bruce really started to get fussy. He cried for at least half an hour and by the time we got back in the car, he fell right to sleep. Figures. The hike had started out fairly well though. The weather was perfect! Bruce just had to hold on to one, or both, of my brothers' hands. Maybe he was missing his Dad... he didn't want me really, just a man! Thankfully I have super awesome brothers who also have a lot of boys so they were perfectly fine taking him on! We did find a good sized pond area on our way back. All the kids were so relieved to be able to play in something! Both my boys went in to their necks and I did not have spare clothes for them. So, walking back in wet clothes was a learning experience.. they were so wiped out afterwards! Bruce went to bed at 6:30 that night!
Awe cousins are the best! So it was the end of May in Las Vegas and colder than you might think. Too cold to swim. But, that didn't stop EZ. He got in but didn't last more than 10 minutes. His lips were a light shade of purple when he came out and I sent him in to get a nice, warm bath. He loves to swim, what a die hard!
EZ and Sawyer (6 months apart) really bonded for the first time on this trip. Mostly over video games on the switch! Oh I so wish they could hang out more and actually get to know each other!
My sister decided to come too, just a day later. But it was over her birthday weekend so we had to celebrate! I honestly could not decided which of these 3 pictures to share because nearly every face is different in each one! Oh and again Bruce found himself a grown man and had to be next to him, this time his Uncle Jake. They snuggled up a bit on the couch after that photo was taken.
So we hit a snag just outside of Flagstaff on our way home. Only about 2 hours from home and we were stopped dead in traffic for about 40 minutes, until I decided to take action. A driver near by came and talked to me stating we were getting re-routed, so I made room for him then I followed after him, had to back track a bit, then go down some unknown, very deserted looking roads and areas then, finally over an hour later we got home. My 6 hour drive was closer to 8 hours. I was so annoyed! We still made it home by 8 thankfully but an unknown 2 hour delay just plain sucks! Thankfully the kids were good sports and just watched movies the whole time. Thankfully my car had plenty of gas and I didn't have to stop anywhere sketchy. Thankfully we left early enough that I didn't have to drive on unknown roads in the dark. Overall it was a wonderful trip! I hope we get to do it again soon!
