Laughlin Trip (Day 3) June 2009

We went to breakfast at the diner in the Tropicana Express and had breakfast, minus Jason and Dad.  They were being bums and didn’t want to get up.  So Mom, Emily, Brady and I took the five kids and went to breakfast.  They seated us in the Train Car at the end where we could all be in one booth.  Lizzi pouting at breakfast Laughlin 2009

Lizzi was playing and I told her to stop or she would get a spanking.  She started to pout, so I took this picture!  Jaylee started telling me off and then she started pouting.  So of course, I took a picture of that too!

They are too funny!  Anyway we all ate breakfast and went to get Jason and Papa out of bed.  Auntie Em decided on the way to wake Jason and Papa that all the kids needed a souvenir penny from Laughlin.  We got together enough change so they could all make their own.  They each took a turn choosing their style and then cranking the handle to get their penny.

They were all intrigued by the process so they were paying close attention.

The kiddo’s egged on by Grammy decided to dog pile Papa.

You do notice that my girls are the biggest instigators!  It’s okay, Papa still loves them!!!

We took the group to Don Laughlin’s Riverside to see the Classic Car Show.  Before heading upstairs for the Car Show we stopped in the bathroom.  Being the person that I am I always have my camera with me.  I saw this in the stall next to me and knew that no one would believe that this was what I saw so I took a picture…..

Vacuum in the bathroom Laughlin 2009

There was a vacuum in the stall next to me.  I take my camera someone else takes their vacuum.  Actually, upon closer inspection…it looks like they use that stall for storage.  There were several bags and the vacuum in it.  I just couldn’t believe it at first!

My favorite part was taking a picture of Mom and Dad in front of a car like the one Mom drove while they were dating.

Aren’t they a cute couple?  They have been married for 39 years now!  Here’s another one….

To think they used to drive a car like this one around back 39 years ago.

Kevin’s boy’s and my girl’s in front of the oldest car that we found at the Classic Car Show.  I think it was a 1907 Ford, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!

Jaylee didn’t get to walk around in the car show area.  Brady got to carry her!

Lizzi with an Americana car Laughlin 2009

When Lizzi saw this car she got so excited because the car was Red, White, and Blue just like her!  She loved this car so I had to take a picture of her with it!

This is a 1948 Rolls Royce it was a beautiful car to look at.

And last but not least…..(from the car show)

Emily finally got her Ferrari!  You have to love the sleek lines and flashy red!  Go Em!!!

After the car show we went to the Outlet Mall to do some shopping.  It was nice and cool in most of the stores and we had fun, but we didn’t buy very much!

We went to dinner at the Harrah’s buffet.  Jason, Brady, Mom, Emily, and I went downstairs after the kids were situated to watch a movie with Papa.

We had fun while it lasted!
