Roos-N-More Zoo Moapa, NV

On Sunday we met up with my girlfriend and her daughter to go to a zoo out in Moapa, Nv. This was no particular zoo. Everything was hands on! Gwen got to touch a zebra, donkey, camel, cow, goat, bearcat, turtle, monkey, kangroos, and so much more. She had a great time. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay too long for fear of a potty accident, but really it was so DANG HOT!

First things first, holding a baby kangaroo. Gwen loved it. She had to hold her again before we left.

Gwen loved the turtle

As Gwen said, "the monkey's are silly mommy"

Gwen didn't get to stay too close to the donkey. It was pretty nervous that morning.

The camel getting fed some sweet potatoes

Daddy and Gwen with a camel she tried to kissed

Gwen tried holding the bird, but she didn't like the way the claws felt. Mommy did it for her.

The bird enjoyed nibbling on Jayson's shirt. He must have tasted pretty salty since we were sweating all morning.

Memorial Weekend, Lake Mead

We spent Memorial weekend and Jayson's Birthday camping at Lake Mead with some great friends. We had 6 families, 2 trailors, 2 pop-ups, a tent site, a boat, and jetski for some fun in the sun.

Evening of the crawfish boil... It was SOOOOOO windy!

After crawfish... dessert in the rickards trailor. We had 12 adults and 7 kids in there!! Crazy I know!

Terry Fator Show

One of the nights while my family was in town we saw the Terry Fator show. He's a ventriloquist that one the first season of America's Got Talent. It was actually a really good show. Even the boys in our group who were going just to go thought it was really good.

30th Birthday weekend

I know, I know I am wayyyyyy behind. Last month my family came out to Vegas to celebrate my 30th birthday. We had a great time eating, laughing, eating some more, walking the strip, and well much much more.

Surprise party for me. yes I was so surpised I cried! I blame it on being pregnant!

Happy to see everyone. Not happy that not a single person in my family had me fix my makeup or hair before I left to get my nails done!
