Planes, Trains and Relatives

After another debacle with Spirit Airline Chad and Janet and family flew into Vegas Saturday morning.  We picked them up at the airport and headed straight to Boulder City...after a quick early lunch at In-n-Out.

Then off to ride the Boulder City Train.

 An outing planned to delight an almost three year old's heart.

 Waiting on an abandoned track for our time to board the train.

But Ben was sound asleep in the car.

We were a bit worried this little person would sleep through his whole train ride.

 ALL ABOARD!

 

 

 Luckily Ben woke up as we boarded the train 

and luckily he woke up happy.

 Maybe next time we can ride miniature train.

But today we had to get to the park by Pam's house

 for a little family reunion/potluck lunch 

with the all the Boulder City relatives.

And amazingly they all were able to come.

It had been years since Chad and Janet had seen these cousins.

By the time we got home Chad was feeling kinda sick and a few of the kids were showing symptoms.

Sunday Chad and Lucia stayed home from church.

 We did get everyone to the park for some fresh air and playtime in the afternoon. But Chad was still just dragging.

The magic is real!
 Monday morning I flew off to Dallas to help welcome a new baby and left the Houston crew for Karl to tend.
