Day 11: The Great American Road Trip

We have officially passed the halfway point of our trip and I am happy to report that I have not lost my sanity or my temper yet!  I just told my dad and J's dad how truly lucky we are to have parents that not only get along but that can spend 17 days together in close proximity.  Our boys are so blessed to have strong role models in their lives.  When J and I did our marital counseling 12+ years ago the priest told us the only thing we had going for us was our parents commitment to their marriages- he called that one right for sure.  (I do however feel we had and continue to have other things in our corner as well) 

So this morning we headed back to the family hotel in Henderson and the boys and I played in the pool all day!  It was so much fun.  You should know that the temperatures reached the 120's today. 
Here is the temp on our way to see Spider Man at 4:00 this afternoon. 
 Can you even believe that?  127 degrees.  Summer in Vegas is like CRAZY- but you would not believe all the people that are here!  I cannot for the life of me figure out why people would come to the bloody desert in the summer? 

So Spider Man was a bit scary for my little man so he and I hit up the arcade and his big brother joined us afterward.  Then we stayed at same hotel/casino/movie complex and had a buffet dinner.  Love the buffets and this one was only $14! 

Tomorrow we are off to the Hoover Dam so the grandpas can do the Dam Tour, (I just love that play on words) and then onto the Grand Canyon.  The good news is that it is supposed to be hotter tomorrow....  Holy cow batman I may melt!
