In July the kids and I headed down to Las Vegas for the perfect vacation. My dear friend Sarah and her boys hosted us at their home. After stopping overnight in St. George, we arrived on Thursday at about 11 AM. We had the drag the kids out of the pool at 8 PM. By 7 the next morning, Eleanor was in her swimsuit begging to get in the pool. Needless to say, we lived in the pool for four days.
Occasionally we would drag the kids out of the pool and make them watch TV, on the off chance that we could get them to eat and rest for a minute.
There really is nothing like an old friend, someone who knew you as a child. Someone who still sees you that way in some ways, and is just as amazed as you are that you are a grown-up with a mortgage and kids of your own.
We stayed a bit after Sarah and her boys went home, even ventured out to the park near her house.
Hopefully, this will be the first year of many that we have this rendezvous (right, Sarah?!).

Next year you can stay with us, instead of staying in St. George. I was sad to miss you!
