Yesterday Jesse and I packed the kids up and headed to the casino. I had a coupon for a free hotel room, so we decided to take advantage of it and bring the kids. We had a great time and Olivia was so excited to stay in a hotel. So excited that she had to pack the night before we left. It was really cute. She had to pack for everyone. It is sort of hard to tell, but she put all of the shirts in one pile, pants in another, and so on.
The whole way there Olivia was trying to imagine what the casino was like. At one point she asked if it was "sort of like the Mall of America, but a little different"
(at this point we were really hoping she wouldn't be disappointed).
When we got there she had to help find our room while pushing her brother in the stroller.
Ruth and John decided to meet us up there for a short while. After we got settled into our room, Ruth and I headed down to the casino and John, Jesse and the kids stayed in the room. As usual, we didn't win anything so we headed back to the room to go swimming.
The kids LOVED the pool...especially Charlie.
I was not able to go swimming because my incisions from my surgery are still not completely healed, but the kids had tons of fun with Jesse.
After swimming Ruth and John left for home and we took the kids to the buffet. We had to walk through the casino to get there and Olivia will tell you that her favorite part of the day was getting to walk through the "adult game area." I think both her and Charlie were pretty fascinated with all of the lights and sounds.
Our kids LOVE food, so they ate a ton for dinner.
Olivia hit the dessert bar at the end. She was pretty happy :)
After dinner, the last thing that we did was take Olivia to the arcade. We played lots of games. Olivia hit the "Jackpot" on one of the games that she played. I think she was a little scared at first. It was making so much noise and the lights were flashing like crazy; however, she was pretty happy when she saw all 250 tickets come out of the machine.
I love ski-ball, and so did Olivia even though her balls were flying all over the place.
Charlie just relaxed in the stroller while we played.
When we were all done visiting the "kid" friendly areas at the casino, we headed back to the room to relax. We had so much fun with our "slumber party" and really enjoyed a much needed family day!!
