we met the 'big leavitts' (we are referred to as the 'little leavitts') in las vegas for a few days. they did a big family road trip this summer throughout the western provinces and states, which sounds amazing.. and exhausting! vegas was the closest stop they were making to us so we planned to meet them there.
we all stayed at the red rock resort. it is not on the strip, but is still a vegas style hotel - lots of pools, gambling, and food. it was a blast to get away. we swam a lot, spent one night walking the strip, ate at cafe rio, went to an indoor trampoline place, and had the best time watching our boys enjoy their fun cousins.
