This weekend was a milestone for Shawn and I. We left Shelby with or parents and headed to Laughlin for some good old Jet Skiing, Drinking and Gambling. This was the first time we have both been gone together. We had a really good time. From what it sounds like Shelby had a really good time too. No horror stories to come home to. She behaved herself.
We stayed at the Pioneer so we could be right on the water. Our rooms overlooked the private beach and we just dragged our chairs and coolers down every morning. Well, let me re-phrase that, about lunch-time. LOL! We hit the river on Friday and Saturday and went to Lake Mohave on Sunday. I am a fan of the lake because it is bigger, the water is nicer and better beach area. But the river is more convenient. The girls floated on our big huge blow up raft or on our beach chairs and the boys hung at shore, we all went on our rides and then . . .drank, drank, drank.
The night life is pretty fun and the boys are freaking crazy. Either it was asking the locals what their drug of choice is or pretending to pee in public.(Yes, pretending) We sure had our hands full. The girls just found ourselves walking a little faster so we didn't look affiliated with them. But they are "ours" and eventually we claimed them. And it seemed that my orange terri cloth cover-up was a hit. Shawn and Eric both put it on! Now it is pretty stretched out but it was only $10 at the local Walmart so I don't really care to much. The pictures and laughs were well worth it!
Getting together with great friends is how we LOVE to spend our weekends. Since Shelby, it has really been our goal to not let her schedule rule our life, but to show her how she fits into ours. There is no need to stop doing what makes us happy, then we would just be grumpy, miserable parents. Rules w/ purpose incorporated with a lot of fun. That's how we do it!
We did miss her TONS! It might be awhile before we leave her again.
