We drove to Mesquite a week ago Sunday to pick up Bailey from her extended visit with Grandma and Grandpa Fox. Ceri and Mark were great and drove her down to Mesquite and met us, so we only had to drive half way. Thanks Mark and Ceri! My parents were able to get us a stay with their time share. We had a nice visit and had a lot of fun.

Chase and Mark went golfing and we went swimming a couple of times. Twice we had the pool all to ourselves. The kids had a lot of fun splashing around, and learning how to play Marco Polo, Sharks and Minnows, and Colors. Both the older girls discovered that they could swim the length of the pool by themselves. We ate at a yummy buffet at the Virgin River and played lots of card games and jenga. Despite the whole casino being completely shut down with all the amenities gone, except the one pool, we still had a good time. We pulled up to the Oasis casino and were welcomed by an empty parking lot. At first we wondered if we'd have to turn around and go home. It ended up that the resort part which was a small section of Oasis was still open. It was extremely hot, but swimming was nice once we got used to the water which was on the cold side.

Most of the pics I have are of the kids swimming. Emery, of course found something that resembled a piano and began playing the "tampon" and singing along. There were some tiny blue tiles on the steps of the pool, so she played the tiles like keys and sang along. Our suite also had some large jetted tubs so we let the kids all jump in and play around in the bubbles. It was a good time and we are very glad to have our Bailey back again with us.
