More Vegas fun...

Our last few days with Jason were spent exploring fun things to do.  

He had his final test for his course the Monday after Thanksgiving so unfortunately he had lots of studying to do.  He spent a few hours Saturday afternoon studying and then we went and had dinner when he was done.  Sunday he studied ALL day so we had a Mommy/Daughter day so he could stay focused!

We found this great park and started the morning off there.

 I couldn't help but get a few pics of my sweet girl!

 They had a giant sand pit where you could dig for dinosaur bones and she had a blast doing that!

 Then they had a gigantic climber...it's just like the one at Six Flags and she loved it.

 At Six Flags they don't let her slide down the big slides yet so she was determined to try it out here and she did great!

 There were tons of ducks so we had fun playing with them too!

 After the park we headed to the movies to see Puss and Boots!

After the movies we grabbed some lunch...silly girl!

We got to spend some time with Jason to give him a study break when we got back and then we just relaxed the rest of the evening while he went up to school to study...it was a late night / early morning for him.  

Monday we headed to a different park to play!

 When we got there we were the only ones there so Riley decided to do some swinging!

 Then we checked out all the fun things to play on...there were lots of new types of play toys and I showed her how to maneuver them!

After a bit lots of kiddos showed up and there was a little girl just her age and they played Rapunzel until it was time to go...she had a blast!

After she napped we headed to this awesome jump house place that Jason had seen.  They had the typical bounce houses but they also had a 10,000 square foot trampoline and I had never seen anything like it!  I have to admit I was bummed I couldn't get out there and jump with her!

Once again a little girl just her age showed up and they had a blast playing together!

They jumped and jumped and hit up the bouncy houses and slides too!

Needless to say after a full hour of bouncing she was exhausted!

We thought Jason would have the night off since he had a test that day but just as this course had proved in the past he didn't get a break.  They got a big group assignment due the next morning so he had to work on that.  We picked up Chipotle and ate dinner together in his room and then he headed off to meet his group and get their project done.  

This was a very intense course and we knew we wouldn't get much down time with him after Thanksgiving but even the little bit of time during the mornings, lunch, and dinner made it totally worth it.

Tuesday we headed home but not before doing a little more playing.  Jason had class so we took his truck and headed to a park near the airport before it was time to leave.  

 It was a great park in a nice shopping area and they had a full house and bakery to play in!

 Riley loved this unicorn and sat on it for a very long time playing princess!

 She made a couple friends here too and they had fun running all over the place.

I spun her really fast on the merry go round too which was a big hit!

After the park we headed to the airport.  They have valet parking at the airport which worked out so Jason could pick the truck up later.  The valet guys got all our luggage loaded on a cart and it worked out well.  I have to say though we had a lot of walking to do once inside the airport and by the time we got to our gate both Riley and I were tired, hungry, and cranky!  Traveling 35 weeks pregnant is exhausting!

I got us some food and we were ready to get on the plane.  

I was getting all of our stuff together and when I turned around I found my traveling buddy looking like this!  She wanted everyone on the plane to see her teeth!  I just love this girl!

 

 The few days prior Riley was being a bit of a toot to her mama...arguing about EVERYTHING, talking sassy, and negotiating everything.  When we got on the plane she was giving me a hard time about not having one of her toys on the plane (it was in our checked bag).  I was explaining that the bag was in the belly of the plane and she was arguing that the plane didn't have a belly.  She started talking sassy to me so I told her she would lose access to her backpack full of toys if she didn't stop...then she elbowed me...three times!  So needless to say she lost her backpack, cried and cried, apologized in an effort to change my mind, and then she was asleep before we even crossed the Vegas mountains.  Girl needed a nap...and mama did too!
