Dear Max,
What an eventful weekend this has been. Where do I even begin? So Friday night, your Auntie Julie and Jaden came down to Vegas. They came down to celebrate Auntie Julie's mom (Grandma Roger's) birthday. Now, you are one lucky little guy and are so loved by so many people. But I must say, that you have a very special bond with Grandma and Grandpa Roger's. They just think the world of you and love you so much. So we were very lucky to be invited to Grandma Roger's birthday party in Las Vegas. Auntie Julie and Jaden stayed with us, and Grandma and Grandpa Roger's, Keirra and Taylor all stayed down town. So Saturday morning we met up with everyone down town.
First things first we rented Grandpa Roger's a "jazzy" we knew that would make the day a lot funner for all and enable Grandpa Roger's to "keep up" with us young kids. So once we got the jazzy we decided to ride the monorail.
Now, riding the monorail was a fun idea, but we didn't just want to go one stop, we wnated to ride for awhile so we decided to ride the monorail all the way to the end of the track and then all the way back to the MGM Grand. This seemed like a good idea at the time... until mid way to the end of the track we needed to make an "emergency" break. If you know what I mean? That is when we took a $10.00 potty break. So we had 8 of us on the monorail, with you in a stroller and Grandpa Roger's in a "jazzy" so we came to the next stop and started to all jump out of the monorail, Grandpa Roger's started to back out of the monorail and we all waited... slowly, slowly, slowly the jazzy backed up until he it a pole. By the time he had backed into the pole and tried to go back forward to get unstuck, it was too late the doors had already closed. We couldn't get out. It was like watching a slow train wreck and we were laughing so hard the entire time. So we used our time wisely as we rode to the next stop, making sure we positioned the jazzy just right so that we could make our quick escape from the monorail. So we got to the last stop of the monorail - the doors opened - and we all got out! YEAH! We made it! We made it! We made it!
WAIT - where is the "facilities?" where is anything?
Oh No! This was the last stop - their was not another monorail car! We were suppose to stay on the same car and it would just change the direction it was going!!!!
HURRY! Everyone - back on the monorail! Grandpa - go quick!!
I'm sure Max, that you think we must all be crazy! We all ran back on the monorail...well, Grandpa Roger's Jazzied back onto the monorail and the next stop is where we officially had our $10.000 potty break. Why it cost us $10.00 you ask, cause we had to re-buy our admission back onto the monorail. I went along with Grandma Roger's and you stayed back with the gang - apprantly having jazzy races. Well, I will give credit for feeding you between racing the jazzy!
Eating on the run!
Surrounded by my ladies... it's tough to be this adorable!
And the races begin...
Grandpa Roger's was off to a good start...
Then Taylor came up from behind, with that innocent face no one saw her coming!
Then Kierra came around the corner, did someone say that she
just got her drivers permit?
Now those are some skills!
Well, after our $10.00 potty break, you having your lunch and of course the Jazzy races, our adventure was back on track... literally we were back on the monorail track headed over to the MGM Grand. Once we arrived to the MGM, we decided to stop and have a birthday lunch for Grandma Roger's at the Rain Forest Cafe. Their was so many fun things to look at in the restaurant. It's so nice that you are able to sit in a high chair at the table, however, with all these extra hands, you were pretty much being held the entire lunch. You had so much fun with all your friends, getting lot's of love and attention! We even got to sing Happy Birthday to Grandma Roger's.
Happy Birthday!

After our lunch at the MGM we headed over to M&M world. It was super busy, but we managed to make it through the crowds and get some fun pictures and go through the 4 stories of M&M Heaven.

After visiting M&M world we needed to walk down to Wallgreen's drug store. So we continued on our adventure to Wallgreen's. Now this is when things really got interesting. You see, we were at a place of decision. It was a big decision. Do we walk all the way back to the MGM Grand and all the way through the MGM to the back of the hotel where the monorail is and ride the monorail back to the Flamingo. OR do we just "power through" and walk from Wallgreen's down to the Flamingo. I choose the later. And we started on our journey. Now, you must remember, it is August 1st in Las Vegas at approx. 3:00 pm, the hottest part of the day and we are walking into the sunlight. WHAT WHERE WE THINKING?!?! I really thought this decision had killed Grandma and Grandpa Roger's... well, really just Grandma Roger's. Grandpa Roger's had the jazzy! By the time we made it to the walkway's we were all dripping in sweat. I never felt so disgusting. We couldn't stop, we couldn't think, heat stroke had set in and we just kept walking - not talking. Until the sweetest moment came when we walked into the air conditioned hotel, it was all we could do to get back to the hotel room.
Now they say that a picture is worth a thousand words... let's try
You were a bit warm
This is Worse...
Oh Yeah... now this is a great end to a long day!

So what is the cure? SWIMMING! Your Favorite!
Putting on Sun Screen... Not Your Favorite!
This is Bad...
This is Bad...
Does nobody hear my woes?
Oh Yeah... now this is a great end to a long day!
After our whirlwind day, you and I left after swimming, while the rest of the crew went to see Phantom of the Opera and go to dinner. Let's just say that before we even got out of the parking garage you were fast asleep and didn't wake up the rest of the night. You were one tired little guy! But what I love about you - is that you don't want to miss anything fun and you find a way to stick through the long day's and still so happy! You are a constant reminder to us to remain positive and happy even when the day's are long. We love you Max!
