To start off our very busy July we went to the cabin in Tahoe for an Olson Family reunion! Ford had a blast meeting his Great Aunts, Uncles and second cousins! He also spent a lot of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa! It worked out perfect to spend some time in Tahoe before we left for Vegas so Ford could get use to be with his Grandparents. We went for bike rides, picnics, to the beach and on Grandma and Grandpa's new wave runner!!!
Brooke and Linnea Ford's second cousins. You can tell which side of the family he gets his Swedish blue eyes and blond hair!

At the beach with Grandpa!
After Tahoe, Erik and I headed to Vegas for a long weekend. This was the first time I had ever been away from Ford for more than a few hours, and I had a lot of anxiety leading up to it! Ford stayed with Erik's parents and he did great! We did pretty good too! The ride to the airport was tearful for me, but I was also very excited to spend the weekend with Erik and just relax. We missed Ford like crazy, but had so much fun just being we each other. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa you are the best!!!
This was the view from our room!!! The Bellagio fountains go off almost every half hour so we caught several of the shows!
At the Wynn headed to see Le Reve!
My favorite part of the trip lounging by the pool!
On Saturday, one of the most exciting parts of our trip was the run through the warehouse!!! This picture gives you an idea of what a production this was! Cheerleaders, a DJ, balloons, referees it was crazy!! I took this picture from the bleachers where about 80+ people sat and watched all the teams run.
Erik and I were the 3rd team out of 42 to go see we didn't have to wait around in anticipation. We had 60 seconds to fill four carts with as much stuff as we could. They gave us 20 minutes to scope out the aisles and make a game plan! Once the clock started it was a total blur from there, but somehow we made it out with 21 items. Here's a few of the big items we won! Weber grill, 40" flat screen TV, iPad, iPod touch, Kitchen Aid mixer, Dyson vacuum, a electric four wheeler for Ford and a bunch of other stuff! It was a blast and a total adrenaline rush!
It was a great trip, but the best part of all was coming home to our sweet boy! We live such a great life that coming home from vacation is just as good as leaving for it!!!
