This weekend was a little hectic. We attended my cousin Christian and Christine's wedding in Las Vegas where they live. We left at 7pm on Friday and arrived in Vegas at midnight. I wasn't feeling too well. I had a sore throat and by midnight I had a slight fever. It was rough night with lots of tossing and turning, whining, coughing, and drifting in and out of sleep.
I was okay in the morning and we prepared to attend the church wedding. Lolo and Lola were with us too. We snagged Lola while she was getting ready for a quick picture.
Here's us at church. My cousin Kayla was a flower girl and I saw her walk in the wedding procession. It was a beautiful. After a short while, I fell asleep in my mom's arms because I was so tired. Good thing there was time between the wedding and the reception.
By the time we got back to our room, I had a full blown fever which was probably around 103 degrees. I don't know was caused it. I was on Tylenol and cough meds and took a long nap with two cool wet towels on my forehead and body. In the meantime, my cousin wasn't doing well either. She threw up the night before, bumped her chin on the table before the church wedding, and was just tired. I woke up later in the afternoon and my fever broke. I felt much better. My mom cooked mac n' cheese for me and Kayla for a late lunch.
I went over to auntie's room to see how Kayla's doing. She was doing okay too. My auntie took this picture. We take good pictures, don't we? Even with slightly glazed eyes. We then prepared for the evening reception.
Here's us making our way to the tent on the golf course. It probably was 108 degrees. But both Kayla and I were feeling better and were very excited.
I brought my doll to keep me company.
Daddy, me, and Kayla took a stroll around the golf course while waiting for the reception to start. We saw bunnies hopping around.

Photo booth time!
Gettin' nutty at the party.

Watching another kid go nuts.
Kayla and I were both exhausted by the end of the night. But we managed to squeeze in a walk on the Vegas strip to watch the water show at the Bellagio. (no small feat doing this with children on a busy Saturday night.) Although Kayla and I were sickish, everything went relatively well. Our parents were exhausted too, juggling the schedules, driving all around in the heat, tending to sick kids, and keeping everyone fed and hydrated.
Whatta weekend! But we had fun!
Congratulations to Christian and Christine on their wedding day!
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and joy!
