We made our way down to Arizona for a family reunion a few weeks ago. Since we were driving the dreadful distance, we decided to stop in Vegas for a little family time. The girls were so excited to go to Las Vegas, as we had told them of the many fun things we could do while there. We wanted to stay at the Golden Nugget because Mitch and Tavi had taken us there a while back to show us the fun pool. There is a big shark tank right in the middle so you can swim right up to them and take a peek. There is also a waterslide that goes right through the tank. We ended up spending all of our time at the pool because the girls couldn't get enough. They even got me into the pool to see the sharks.
Ashlyn has turned into a fabulous little swimmer. She loves to play in the water. She stayed in the pool long after the rest of us were finished. I think she was the last person in the pool when they finally came and told us we had to leave. Good times, good times.
I, of course, was the beaming proud mommy. The minute they walked in, before the program even started, I was crying. Crying because my oldest baby, the one that seems like she came to me just yesterday, is so big. So independant. She goes to school everyday and does her thing. And I'm not really a part of it. But that's a good thing. And, really, that's how I want it to be. But even though I realize that I wouldn't want it any other way, I will probably get teary-eyed every year when school ends. Because it's another year gone. And another year closer to the day when she leaves. And it's all just going a little too fast...
The perfect daddy to my own little girls. {And sometimes Sugar Daddy to me}.
One of my bestest buddies. For 29 years I've been lucky enough to call him Dad{dy}.
