We are big Amazon fans in this house. From diapers delivered to my door to streaming movies on my TV, Amazon has it all. Here’s some of our current favorites.
With school starting next week I got Sarah a set of Snack Box Food Containers with 4 compartments. Hoping the days she doesn’t want a sandwich this will be a good substitution for a heavier snack meal.
Anybody into Packing Cubes? I got a set for our trip To Florida later this month. A few of my friends suggested this and I’m hoping it helps keep my kids things organized.
My family loves a game we can all play together and this Let’s Go Fishing game is so much fun!
Sarah can be outside all day if she could. She loves going from riding her bike to playing with chalk to jumping rope. This Soft Bead Jumping Rope is her favorite.
I was looking for a casual dress for the summer, but couldn’t find what I was looking for in the stores. I came across this Cold Shoulder Swing Dress and couldn’t be happier! It’s become my summer staple! Perfect day and even night dress for a summer event.
Here I am wearing the dress at the 4th of July Parade.
While planning my sisters Bachella I got these Tribe Tattoos to put in the girls bags. They were a fun and added nice touch to her theme.
As you can see we order lot’s of random things from Amazon. Thanks to our Prime membership, shipping is free and best part, it comes to my door within 2 days! Glorious!

The table as you walked in included favors and some more decor. The sweet bride even made that F with pink flowers. 
The dessert table consisted of mini scones, muffins, doughnut holes and mini bundlets from Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Next up was the reptile tent. Parrots, snakes, spiders, tortoise and so much more. 
It was 94 degrees and we were all ready for a much needed break. We checked out the Outshine truck for some free Popsicles. Hubby got the watermelon while the rest of us got different flavors. 
The kids had fun riding ponies and cuddling with the bunnies in the petting zoo. Sarah could have stayed with the animals for hours!!
They had so many areas set up for kids. We had lots of fun in the bubble area.
We walked around some more, spotted a professional watermelon carving booth and tasted the new Coffee Mate Cold Brew. 
We left home with a big bag of watermelon popcorn and happy memories of our family fun day!
We recently went to the California Science Center in LA with Sarah’s friend Kallista from school.
This shadow exhibit was lot’s of fun. The kids had to try and beat the tiger.
Time for the earthquake exhibit. Eek so scary! 
My favorite exhibit has to be, the Endeavour. I remember watching the Endeavour on TV as it got pulled around LA. It’s so big, so amazing and so very cool. To think this was in space, but really only a spec in satellites is mind blowing. 
Imagine millions of those carpet tiles you see in doctors offices, but instead heat shield tiles that cover the space shuttle. This thing is just so massive! 
Just ONE of the huge rocket engines!! It was huge!!!!
It’s a good day to wear your space shirt!
Next up was the External Tank. The only part of the shuttle stack that isn’t reusable, the external tank carried the propellants to power the space shuttle main engines. 
Our cuties!
This museum is free, but has a few exhibits that are additional. We prepaid for the Pandas 3D movie for 2pm, but once inside we were so busy that the extra movie was not necessary. However it was a nice 30 minute break. 
Our final stop was the touch tanks. Sarah loves this part! Jacob, not so much.
Day 1
Tip: We always leave the kids in their jammies and change in the last rest stop. That way kids in comfy clothes can nap easily. 
Coincidentally my sister and her fiance were in town the day before. We met up, checked in to our hotel and headed to the pool. This time we stayed at the MGM Grand. We are big fans of a lazy river and this hotel is known for their pools.
We washed up and got ready to hit the strip. Right before we left my sister asked the kiddos if they would be a part of their wedding. How cute?!!
There is something so amazing about the strip. Being able to walk everywhere, seeing all the sights, the plethora of food choices. I love it! 
My sister and her fiance!
My lovely family!
For dinner we went to Tournament of Kings. 
Each person gets a hearty 3 course meal using the original utensil – their hands. Tip: you can ask for silverware, but the kids thought it was so cool to use their hands. Dinner was a cornish hen, potatoes, roll, broccoli, and soup. Included is unlimited soda refills. A choice of dessert come the last 15 minutes of the show. 
We were so excited!
Each section of the theater was placed in a team. Our team was Russia. So we cheered for the purple horse. 
The kids were entertained the whole time!!!
The show had so much going on. One minute there’s dancing, horse jousting and even fire.
What a fun show!
Day 2
Kids playing with the jam packets while we wait for our food.
Fun fact: The first time I went to Vegas was also on a family vacation and we stayed in the Paris hotel. Somehow my sister found this picture if us, so we thought it was only natural to recreate it. 
We walked around the strip for a bit. We love walking in and out of hotels. 
For lunch we stopped by Taco Bell and got icees. 
Love me some sister time! 
Our next stop was another favorite, the M&M World. After each kid picked a treat we headed upstairs to see the 3D movie.
It was getting really hot so went back to our hotel to swim.
Since my sister was in town, hubby and I took advantage of this time and went on a date night. 
We went to 
While we were at dinner, Osh and Matt took the kids to dinner and walk around.
So thankful to have family that loves on my kids.
We got ready for bed and called it a night. 
Day 3
We cleaned up, watched cartoons and mapped out our day.
Back at the pool and in that lazy river. Bliss! 
Funny story, while driving to Vegas, hubby realized he forgot his sunglasses. A quick order on Amazon and it arrived to our hotel just in time. My sweet hubby even got me a pair. 
Me and my little man.
J needed a nap so hubby took him upstairs while Sarah and I had mommy daughter time.
We spent most of the day in the pool and then showered and got ready for the evening.
Day 4
One last swim before we have to check out. 
We packed up and headed to our final destination, The Pinball Museum.
Back on the road and back to reality. Looks like one of us couldn’t hang. 
Love these family trips!
Nestled near Lake Casitas this park is split into 4 different areas. The activity pool, lazy river, lagoon and splash pad.
Certified lifeguards are on hand at all times and life jackets are available at no extra charge (while supplies last).
Next up we visited the lazy river. A great spot for the whole family, the Lazy River offers a cool water ride on inner tubes along a scenic waterway featuring waterfalls, fog filled bridges and jet sprays. The inner tubes are available free of charge on a first come, first served basis. 
Tip: wear water shoes as ground is very hot. 
We took a break for a bit and hung out by the lawn chairs. They also have a few shaded decks.

Tip: Locker rentals are available for a nominal fee. Showers are coin operated.
This place is a little tricky so you have to plan accordingly. They have set hours like M/W/F from 12-4 pm, Tuesday and Thursday from 1-4pm and Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am-4pm. You also have to get there about 30-45 minutes before to get in line as the places reaches capacity often. So our drill is to get there an hour before, eat lunch at the picnic tables while our bags are in line saving our spot.
Our next stop was the 2 water slides. The blue slide is uncovered and the green slide is covered. You have to be 42 inches to get on.
Our elementary school kids loved the slides, but our toddlers were more comfortable staying in the activity pool slide. 
The pool was also a fun spot to hang out.

We always end the day with shaved ice from the Kona Ice truck. Tip: The Kona Ice truck takes cash only.
The kiddos!
Love doing life with these amazing mamas!
