Visitors From Texas

On Thursday, June 12 (after Abby's dress rehearsal) our friends the Ranney's rolled into town, literally. They drove their RV from Frisco, TX to Las Vegas...with a few stops along the way.

On Thursday night we all headed out to dinner at Yard House which is located in the Red Rock  casino. Red Rock was the Ranney boy's first experience with a casino and, not surprisingly they were fascinated with the lights and noises!

No one will notice that Noah is underage, right?!?


Unfortunately, Jim had to work on Friday but that didn't stop our fun...pool day!!

Abby, Kera, and Aaron enjoying a snack by the pool.

There was also some time for some video game fun...the Ranney's brought their Wii along.

On Saturday was Abby's dance recital, so...we had a busy day of primping, waiting around, dancing, and then more waiting.

First the primping...

Then, waiting around...

Dancing...

More waiting...

Another fun recital for Abby!

On Saturday night Monica and Chris headed out for the evening to meet with one of Monica's old friends so we had all the kids for the evening. It was "fun" trying to get 4 kids to sleep rather than just 2.

Sunday was father's day so, another pool day was in order.

Men of honor getting some good pool time in!

On Sunday evening the adults ACTUALLY got to go out on the town and we were lucky enough to use our friend's au pair, Miriam, as our babysitter. While the adults were out to dinner...

...and a show (Beatles Love)...

The kids were at home watching a movie. And, what better way to entertain 2 boys on a Sunday evening? Why, watch Frozen...of course! Noah would never admit it but, he liked it.

The Ranney's continued on their journey home in their RV first thing on Monday morning. It was a fun visit and hopefully one day, we can go visit them in Frisco.
