Grandad's Visit

Grandad took a road trip over to visit his two favorite granddaughters in Las Vegas.  They were excited to share their new city with Grandad.  When he walked in the front door Jessica said, "Grandad, we have volcanoes in Las Vegas!"  We didn't take him to see the volcano this visit but Jessica said we could take him next visit, as long as we stand a little further back.  We showed Grandad our favorite park.


 We also took Grandad to The Giggle Box, an indoor play place here in North Las Vegas.
 Jessica has always enjoyed wearing Grandad's hat.
 We went back to the Science museum since I figured it was safer to take them there when I had backup, they definitely could get lost easily there.




 Allison got all dolled up.


 We went to Krispy Kreme and then bought a fish tank with Jessica's birthday gift cards.
 The fish didn't last a day.  Allison tried to feed them play dough.


We took Grandad to the mermaid show at the Silverton Casino.  It was totally geared toward little girls and Jessica was completely enamored.

Watch Jessica in these videos.




The Bass Pro Shop inside the Silverton Casino was a taxidermist's playground.
 Yep, a real stuffed giraffe.
 A whole family of lions, there was even a Meema and Grandad lion.

 We met Grandad's sister, Deb, at the marina in Lake Mohave.
 Deb and her husband, Ken, took us out on their boat for the day.
 We had a really fun day on the lake and neither of the girls got a sunburn.
 
 The best part of the lake trip was definitely the dog, Jazzy, as far as Jessica was concerned.
Jazzy was one of the kids, or vice versa.  All I know is, they swam together, played catch together, sat in the front of the boat together and even napped a little together.






Here are a couple bonus videos.

That looked like a lot of fun packed into one week. The boat ride looked very fun. That is a lot closer to home too ! Thank you for the new blog. I was in Lassen Park this weekend, and was remembering the girls having snowball fights.
