Thinking About...Being intentional about spending quality time with the people we love most. This weekend we took a trip with my grandparents, only my grandparents, to Laughlin, Nevada (kinda like a mini Las Vegas, less class, but more affordability...right up our alley, hey we are all about saving the $$). Laughlin, as my Grandma puts it is her "Disneyland", her happy place and their happy getaway. So Mike and I were delighted to put this trip on the calendar to intentionally spend quality time with these two amazing people in our lives. It was so great to take a short trip to refresh ourselves and have a break from the kiddies.....um, uninterrupted sleep and going an entire day without smelling like baby spit up?! hello! heaven. AND spending the entire trip with two of the most amazing people on this planet was a serious, serious blessing. We were blown away.
Watching...The crazy lights and the sounds of the choo choo train slot machine we loved playing....and this girl right here was a big winner. I won $570.00!!! CRAZY. All because I accidentally hit the max bet and happened to win. pure. amazing. dumb luck.
and some fun quote gems...
Gramps: "Well as I figure, you either have to be handsome or handy...good thing I am handy"
Grams: "Honey, (my gramps), I love you more than Laughlin"
What about you? What are you CURRENTLY up to?
Cassie! How sweet that you spent that time with your grandparents! Also that place totally reminds me of Vegas (in the photos). I wish I lived closer to family so that I could spend more quality time with them, but we are always very intentional about spending quality time with them when we are together!
ReplyDeleteAs always, great post!! :) xo

Tawnya! Laughlin definitely has a Las Vegas feel. I am sorry you are not close to family, but how wonderful you are aware of being intentional...and squeeze every last drop out of that quality time as possible! Thanks for coming by! xo
DeleteYour grandparents are adorable! 60 years! That's a huge accomplishment. It looks like you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, yes they are the best and 60 years is a crazy number, right?! Serious commitment right there.
DeleteAww what a sweet trip! Kind of unconventional. I always think of hanging out with the grandparents at their home or a family area, with cookies and couch talk and porch drinks. This is so much more fun haha. I LOVE the pic of your grampa on the top right, ha. Don't have too much fun =)
ReplyDeleteYou won! Awesome! I'd be negative that ha. Hooray for being lucky.
Unconventional is a great way to describe our family! hahaha. Courtney, I am usually always in the negative so this win was a really fun surprise =). Thanks for coming by!
DeleteWhat an amazing trip :) They look like the sweetest!! I think it would be a blast to go on a trip with my grandparents as well. There is something about their wisdom and love that is irreplaceable.
ReplyDeleteIt was Jenna, it was. Such a blessed time...aren't grandparents just the absolute best...and yes I soaked up all the amazing wisdom and love they gave! SO good.
