We went to Las Vegas to visit my sister and her family over Spring Break. By we, I mean me and the kids. U was working, of course. It was a pretty last minute decision to go. Last minute as in we decided to go Thursday morning, packed and left before lunch. For those who know me and my packing habits, this is pretty remarkable. (Normal packing=a list weeks in advance with packing started days in advance.)
We arrived at my sister's home around dinner time. Sarah went with Luke, Andrew and Uncle K to meet Brandon Mull and Chad Morris, a couple of children's authors. She really enjoyed that and came home with a couple of autographed posters that now hang in her bedroom.
The next day, we mostly hung out around the house since Luke and Andrew were at school. We did take a bike ride to a local park after everyone was home from school.
Sarah and Megan to the rescue!
Cheese!
On Saturday, we went to the Discovery Children's Museum. We hadn't been since they'd moved to a bigger location. The kids had a lot of fun!

The kids all enjoyed playing in the water area.
Sunday, we went to church. One of the songs during Sacrament Meeting was "I Stand All Amazed" which the kids are learning in Primary this year. All of the Primary kids were singing with a lot of energy! It was fun to hear.
Luke, Andrew and Sarah enjoyed eating their meals outside together.
Happy Megan.
What a cute kid Benjamin is.
Elizabeth likes cooing at everyone.
Silly Matthew!
We went to my aunt and uncle's home in Henderson. It was really nice to see their family.
Every good visit should include a light saber fight.
My cousin Taryn, her daughter Aubry and my cousin Aurianna.
My cousin Garth, his wife Rachel and their daughter Emmy.

Funny story: They had made some yummy treats for us (brownies and lemon bars). I'd brought some Matthew-safe cookies with us in case this happened. As we came back into the house with the cookies, Matthew informed me that he was going to eat all 10 cookies in the bag. He didn't because I gave one to Megan. But he ate the other 9. He was sure proud of himself!
Sarah liked playing with Elizabeth. Here, she really got her cooing.
Me and Elizabeth.
The kids all loved holding Elizabeth and playing with her.
All the kids.
Silly faces! I like that even the younger kids are making faces.
Cousins are the best! Thanks for all the pictures! Even Benjamin made a silly face--but not Elizabeth.
