Ava & Mila

This past weekend we had our first vacation with Ava. We decided to tag along on my parent’s Vegas vacation at a resort off of the strip. Our trip started off with a looonnng car ride. The usual 4.5 hour trip turned into a 6 hour trip due to stops for feeding our hungry little girl. She did pretty well in the car since she likes sleeping in her car seat.

Pretty much as soon as we got there, we changed into our swim gear and hit the pool. I was very excited to introduce Ava to the pool and have her splash in it…but once we got there, we realized that the pool was freezing. So there was no swimming that weekend but we did have Ava stand on the steps of the pool. At first she let out a scream… as we all do when we first step into a cool pool. But once she realized that it was one huge bath tub, she relaxed and took it all in…

She even sat down in the pool herself.

Standing on the pool steps was exhausting, so Ava decided that a nap next to the pool’s waterfall was an excellent idea.

The next morning was Mother’s Day. Ava got me a cool frame with a picture of her, Rudy and Yoda saying Happy Mommy’s Day!

And when Grandma Ester gave me my present, Ava was in love with the pink ribbon.

After that, it was time for the pool again in her polka dot bikini.

We even laid out (in the shade).

During Ava’s pool nap, she gave us a little peep show. Hehe.

We were all exhausted, so we all took naps again…

That evening, we celebrated Mother’s Day with a trip to the Wynn buffet. Yummy. While we were getting ready, Ava and Grandpa Jack watched some tv together. (Yes, that is LifeTime). She loves watching TV so we keep the TV off at home when she is in the living room. I guess Grandpa Jack didn’t know the rules.

Here are 3 generations of ladies, ready to hit the town…

On our last day, we hit the pool again our ‘Moons for Eyes’.

And on our way out to town, Dan and Ava enjoyed a platter of wings at Hooters. Shame on us.

And then we were off on our 6 hour car ride home. We made sure to take plenty of breaks to stretch our legs and laugh.
