So some weeks ago we had a chance to go to a place called "Pirates Cove." I like to refer to it as a little bit of Heaven on Earth! It's a house near Lake Mead owned by a friend of a friend who apparently makes a few more dollars a paycheck than we do. With 3 swimming pools, 25 bedrooms, 3 kitchens and a bizillion other amenities, I like to refer to it as a resort. The pools, waterslides and the all you can stand to eat soft serve ice cream and icee machine were a few highlights of our vacation. Oh yea, did I mention we spent Saturday afternoon swimming and watching a BYU football game with Chad Lewis (played for BYU and the Eagles)? Ok, now go ahead and be jealous...LOL! Thanks to all who made this trip possible!!!!

The kids waterslide and shallow pool (Kellie probably went down this waterslide no less than 100 times a day, she loved it!)
Group pic on the waterfall of the upper pool. Right above us is the crows nest (30 ft. jump into the 15 ft. pool below)
Group pic on the boat that really moved like a ship would, complete with a wheel and pirates. Below us is another waterslide that comes out of the ship.
This is the waterslide that goes through the ship. This was a super fun waterslide, part of it was in the dark with glowing rings inside the slide, complete with pirate music and skeleton pirates throughout. Did I mention this was MY favorite part? Well, it was... so fun! Oh yea, at the top of the pic is Becca jumping off the ship into the pool, she was so brave!
Amos and Chad Lewis. Amos is a bit giddy!
Kellie, Sadie and Erica. That is as close to the skeleton pirate as they would get. Notice the skeleton is wearing swim trunks and arm floaties. (These pirates were everywhere, it was really cool)
Kellie and Erica taking a break. Kellie LOVES Erica and had to sit by her all of the time, so cute!

This is how I found Paden when I woke up one morning. He saw that it had snowed and was ready to be out playing in it!
