So this last long weekend we went on vacation with my mom and dad and BJ and CJ! We left early Thursday morning and came home on Sunday because Jared had to work Monday. The drive down was an absolute nightmare.
Our drive to Mesquite included:
Grant puking 8 times
in 8 hours
5 stops
3 outfit changes
absolutely no sleep or food
purchase of 3 new outfits
NO FUN

Once we got there we got Grant something to eat and he perked right up. We had such a great time together. There is no one in the world I would rather spend my time with! We are so so grateful to my mom and dad for this amazing trip and the oppurtunity to go. These are just a few highlights of our awesome weekend. I tried to take my camera with me as much as possible but smetimes I forgot it in the room. Oh well! 

 How cute is this? This was the first day we got there and we were all pretty tired from the drive but ready to swim anyway!
 The arcade at our hotel deffinitely left a lot to be desired. I felt bad because we told Grant there would be an awesome arcade (which there used to be) so we were a bit disappointed with it.
 The pool was sooo cold. It took awhile to get used to it. I swear it was about 50 degrees.
 Grant being a stinker. We did a lot of relaxing! It was so nice!
 BJ and Grayson just chillin in the pool. Grayson did so well in the pool even though it was so cold. He is such a good boy!
 There is this perfect slide for Grant. He was deathly affraid of it the first day, but we bribed him to go down it "just once" and after that we couldnt get him off of it. He loved it!!
 Sweet baby boy sleeping!
 Love this fun pool

 The food was good and cheap. Grayson enjoyed it! Well we all did!
 Grant really wanted Jared to teach him how to play poker, so one night we had a Grant-friendly poker night. It was funny because half of us didnt know how to play but we had a lot of laughs and had fun trying to learn. We were gambling for starburst and airheads.
 Gray all ready to go scoba diving
 BJ ready to go scuba diving
 3 of my 5 favorite men!
 Because the arcade at our hotel sucked we set out to find a better one. JACKPOT!! We found one and we had so much fun with BJ and CJ blowing through a bunch of quarters!

 Grant "trying" to dance
 And Jared did even worse than Grant did! So funny!
 Before we left Sunday morning gave Grant some dramamine and it seemed to have worked. He didnt puke once on the drive home. It was so nice. We thought it would knock him out but it actually kept him awake and this is what we heard every 5-10 minutes "How many more hours dad?" At one point I looked in the backseat to find my sweet boys holding hands. Grayson was asleep and Grant just loves his little brother so much, he actually holds hands with him all the time.
 Cute boy just wanting to be home.
Grayson was so ready to be home too. They were both so happy when we finally did get home.

This picture got lost at the end of this post, but here is Grayson taking a tubby after swimming. He loves the water and loves tubbies. He was glad to be in the warm water after being in the freezing pool. I swear he is so cute he could be a little girl! LOL
