The Cannon Family Visits Las Vegas!


We were so excited to hear that the Cannon's were coming to Las Vegas! We decided to make it a swim day and camped out by the pool! The kids had a great time! So did the adults--it was so fun to sit and chat! It was as if no time had passed--and yet, Laurel has been gone from Tucson for almost 3 years and we have been gone almost 1 year!

We could not have asked for a better day! The weather was great--even though it was hot! The kids were in great spirits and got a long great! We felt bad Emerie couldn't join in because the doctor is saying 2 more weeks till she can swim! She spent most of the day inside but we made sure and included her in some pictures!!

We made snow cones, had water fights, and rock jumping contests!

I even think Taylor holds a soft spot in her heart for cutie Blake! They kept chasing each other with the water bucket having a great time!









They all took turns jumping off the rocks! They did "Cannon"balls, High School Musical poses, held hands, etc.
Maddie has Allie staying at our house for 3 days while her parents go on Trek so she (and I) were glad she had a friend her age since all the other kids had each other!



Jackson had a great time in the shallow area! He is doing so great as he learns to swim! I was amazed that he can hold his breath and go under water and he is not even 3 yet!! We had to do a slight rescue of him near the end of the day when he ended up in the deep end but he was just fine!!



Little Chase is almost 4 months old! He was so content and we barely heard a peep out of him! Laurel couldn't get enough of holding him! Isn't he just the cutest!! :)



I realized how many good friends I have made over the years and how important their friendships are to me! Stephanie and Laurel are truly great people and such fun to be around! I am so glad we keep in touch--especially through blogging!! :)

You were right it was like no time had passed- just chatting away by the pool. It was so great to see you and your adorable family again.
