For the past 4 years, our visits to Las Vegas have been all about the parks. Grandma & Grandpa have scouted out some nice ones near their home. It's truly amazing how gleeful the kids get when they see playground equipment.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaK5VJYuNPrUVPIaVDJuA_cB865EgXgeuz5jIYQtX_6BoOYbj34sS-KmDUUTVwbmtjUUAoHyPmeupo7ZdyciWOQIyOP9tNTq5qCrIM5Bbjr1uj_3eg2H1OJ1MsIxSXrXfCuGug1A/s320/DSC_2181a.jpg)
It's really cute to see the twins enter the make-believe stage. We had pirates and sharks playing in the ocean. They pretended to sweep the deck & steer the ship. We played baseball on a real diamond without any equipment. Ella ran the bases & the twins followed (though they preferred to 'pitch' with me - sound effects and all). Since she's never played T-ball, we had to explain that as she rounds the base, its traditional to tag the bag with your foot, not your fingers. No pictures of our baseball game - I needed both hands to pitch to my batters.
We've had no word from Mom for the past 48 hours now. I assume that means they got a flight out of Bangkok. I also assume her cell phone is dead. We are keeping our fingers crossed that she makes it home sometime on Thursday. I am sure she's going to feel so behind this year for Christmas. I hope she got a lot of shopping done on the trip!
I'm at the point where I need to start wrapping gifts & finding a home for them. I think that will make me feel more organized. My cousin Nicole arrives tomorrow - we can't wait to have fun with her!
