Las Vegas!

This post will be somewhat boring since I have only two lame pictures to add. We took our camera and video camera, but they never saw the outside of the suitcase. Since Ben had three days off in a row this weekend we decided to take advantage and go on our first and last vacation of the summer! We drove down to Las Vegas to stay with Brittany's family and had a great time. Lincoln is a "delightful" traveler (I am being sarcastic) so we didn't leave until 7:30pm on Friday so he would sleep most of the time. We had a great time eating at our favorite places, seeing the Lions at the MGM, going to the Coke and M&M stores, shopping at the coolest candy/soda store, hanging out with friends, watching YouTube videos with the kids, playing with cute kids, etc. We love going to visit the Greene Family! I miss living by them so much and can't believe how old my little boys are. Here are the two pictures I took with my phone at the Coca Cola Store.


We decided to leave on Sunday night when Lincoln was ready for bed so we could have a more enjoyable ride home. Adam and Ben packed up our car with a new toddler bed for Lincoln and we were off....or so we thought. About a mile from their house Lincoln threw up all over himself and his car seat. We pulled over, stripped him down, and then headed back to their house to clean up the rest of the car. Once at their house he continued throwing up and dry heaving for another hour. Ben is a great dad who cleaned up the car seat, car, and started a load of laundry while I gave Lincoln a bath, had him drink water and cuddled him. At this point Lincoln had stopped throwing up and was sound asleep. We decided that it would still be best to at least start driving home, since a sick but sleeping Lincoln is still a better travel companion than a well but awake Lincoln. Since we left so late from Vegas, we didn't get home until 4:30am on Monday morning. There were a few times that both of us were tired and we were going to pull over at the next town and sleep, but then Lincoln would wake up and dry heave and our adrenaline would start pumping again. Our poor little boy finally started feeling better yesterday afternoon, but it was a long morning for all of us. We are still glad we went and had a great time...until Sunday evening.
