Grandma, Melissa (SIL who decided to come with ), Grandpa, Uncle Richard, Indi (the dog), Kent, and Wesson
Wesson made fast friends with Indi, He loved feeding Indi crackers which put him on the dogs good side. It made up for all the times Wesson would yank on her face or pull on her. Wesson also loved to open mouth kiss Indi on the nose. Sadly we missed a picture of that. We decovered while we were there that Wesson must be allergic to dogs. His eye got all swollen and splochy so we had to make a trip and get some allergy medicine. I also had to make a trip for diaper wipes, I left them in the Omaha airport when I changed a stinky diaper defore take off. And another for diaper cream. Man I was on a roll!
Wesson loved having lots of attention and having time to play with daddy!
Wesson's new thing is to point to everything and say "what's that?" So for 3 days that is all he did and while it drove me about crazy Grandma ate it up. She loved having Wesson talk to her and point things out.
Wesson loved playing with Uncle Rich. Usually because where ever Uncle Rich was so was the dog! But He loved going outside and playing with him. They became best buddies!
Wesson didn't sleep well the first couple of nights, which is tipical of all our vacations. So one of his favorite things to do was sit on Uncle Richard's lap and watch the Tabernacle chior preform. It was a life saver!
Here he is with Grandpa. He learned how to climb up in Grandpa's chair as well as the rocking chair and he just got so proud of himself! Since one of his favorite words right now is grandpa, he would walk around the house saying "randpa" or "doggie".
So since we had several days on our hands we decided to look up and see if we could find any family touristy things to do. Basically, it said "since you are in a purely gambling area, there is nothing family todo except gamble." Well, that didn't give us much help, but then Grandpa and Uncle Richard suggested we visit Oatman and the London Bridge....
We went and saw "Oatman", which is a little minning town. Which is really nothing to look at, but when all the miners left, they left all of their burros. So then the burros just stuck around and became sort of wild. So bascially you go to Oatman and feed the wild burros carrots! I guess it's the think to do, if you aren't into gambling! Those these burros can get fisty and will butt you around if you don't feed them fast enough! Wesson liked it for awhile, but then they started backing us up into a cornor and he got scared. I don't blame him. I was getting a little nervous myself!
We took a road trip to Lake Havasu City to see " The London Bridge". Yes, this is the really London bridge and it is not falling down. We even drove across it to make sure. Lake Havasu bought this bridge and had it shipped brick by brick and had it reconstruced over the lake.
The have this whole little lake side little "Londonland" along the river.
See! Now I gues I can say I've been to London! jk!
Here is our family in front of the London Bridge. It was super hot, so we took some pictures and headed home!
They even had these cute little phone booths, so we had to stop and try them out!
We had a great vacation and hope we can go back and visit them again soon. It was so great meet them and getting to know them better. We enjoyed lots of stories and jokes that will remain with us.
