Labor Day in our family is usually spent doing something FUN to celebrate Clark and Katelyn's birthdays. This year, Jim, Steph, Ty, and Madi joined us for a day of fun.
Katelyn has been obsessed with Paris, France for about a year now. I think it all started when she tried crepes at The Original Pancake House. She loved them so much and asked where the name came from and what it meant. That spurred conversations about France and Paris, in particular. She started studying different countries in school and that was the one she picked. She read books, looked at pictures, and to top it off, her friend had a French-themed birthday party. Needless to say, Paris is all she talks about and her dream is to visit the Eiffel tower on her 16th birthday.
Luckily for us, we have a smaller scale Paris Hotel and Casino right here in Las Vegas, so it was obvious that we would visit it for her 10th birthday. The restaurant, Mon Ami Gabi, came highly recommended so we ate there for lunch. The food was great and we loved the atmosphere walking through the Paris Hotel. Katelyn was in heaven and kept asking if this was really what Paris was like.
After lunch and touring "Paris", we stopped at the Sugar Factory for a little dessert and were on our way to the Premium south outlets to finish up birthday and school shopping. Then we headed home for a night of fun in our backyard.
The kids had a wonderful time playing in the pool and roasting marshmallows. They did flips and tricks off the side while Steph and I judged their routines and accuracy. They played King of the Floating Tube, had races, dived for glowsticks, warmed up in the hot tub, and shot each other with squirters. It was definitely a really fun day.
