Natural History Museum with Aunt Cindy and Family

Aunt Cindy came to Las Vegas for a conference and gave us a good excuse to hang out.  She spoiled my kids rotten and we had a great time.  On Thursday we were able to spend the whole day with her and explore some more things in Vegas that I haven't experienced yet.

We first went to the Natural History Museum downtown.  It was pretty cool.  The kids had fun checking out all the exhibits.  Savvy was scared of the dinosaur exhibit and the King Tut exhibit too.  She is so funny because sometimes she seems like nothing bothers her and then she gets nervous about little things like this.  We all had a good time.

Then we met up at Deseret Book.  It's nice to have it closer to home.

Then we had to hit Cafe Rio again.  Aunt Cindy had it for the first time on Wednesday night and it was her choice for lunch again on Thursday.  It is pretty good!!  


Cafe Rio!!  YUM!

The kids were done by then and getting snotty but we went to Wal-Mart to get a swimsuit for Carolyn and I had to get some newborn diapers for the baby.  I must admit I am the least prepared with this baby.  I think it's funny how laid back I've gotten about things that I thought I had to have.  

Then later that night Aunt Cindy made tacos and we enjoyed those and then we went out to help Amber feed her horse and she let the kids ride it.  It was a lot of fun.  Savvy seemed to be at home out there with the horses and dogs.  She is going to be my animal lover I think.  That shouldn't surprise me considering how comfortable she has been with Bella since she was a baby.  She kind of just fell into a rhythm there that I've never seen from her before.  Jake had fun too but I just saw a different side to Savvy so it was fun to watch her.



Hanging out!
