Pirates Cove, Lake Mead

William's, it was so much fun. Loved spending time with all of you. It's just not enough. Love you all and miss you. See you all soon, such a great family!!! It's a lot of pictures hang in there, they are well worth it. I have never seen such an amazing home. James is the designer behind it all. Craig is the $$$, about 28 million. Anyone can stay here as long as you have $10,000, to spend on one night. The house, (homes, there's about 5 on the property) has 20 something bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, who knows what else pictures don't do it justice.

 Spencer is ready to swim. That's pretty much all we did the whole time. There is 3 pools, 2 hot tubs, and 2 water slides. One of the slides is a shorter one, it empties into the pool at the grotto. The other water slide starts at the top and takes you through the ship wrecked pirate ship. It's amazing. Brittany with Liv, Brittany has the 2 cutest girls. It was fun to watch Spencer and Ella play together.
 Steve helping Spencer get ice cream. They had a self serve ice cream machine and Slurpee machine next to the pool. This was the kids favorite part.

 Spencer waiting for another bite of ice cream, so patient. HAHAHA!!!!
 Aly and Justin with their new little one. Isla, is so sweet and cute. can't get enough of her.
 Dallin in the hot tub over looking one of the gazebo's, right behind Dallin is a teeter-taughter. It sits on the ledge, it's crazy looking and kind of scary.
 The Williamson's came up, it was fun to catch up with them.
 Caught them in this photo, just hanging out enjoying the view.
 Then I told them to pose for me.
 Steve and Dallin went exploring. I had to join in.
 Spencer came along.
 A over look from the top. This is the view off to the left.
 View of the middle.
 View middle, right.

 This is the second pool. It is an old ship wrecked pirate ship. The floor moves when you walk on it so it really feels like you are on the ocean. The water slide runs through it and empties into the pool, where you can cliff jump from anywhere. There is also a huge rope swing which is so much fun, of course. Kate jumping from the boat and the crows nest.

 Dallin on the rope swing.

 I paid Dallin $20 to to jump. It worked, he jumped again after this jump. It took him a little and a lot of encouragement. Thanks, Cameron.
 And he jumped, it was a good 40ft.!!!!
 Eliza in in the action.
 One of the 10 bars, on the property. Everywhere you turn you see something unbelievable like this.
The bar,
 The dining are:
 When you go through those doors on the left, (picture above) you walk in on this pirate. He is motion activated. He starts to talk to the dog holding the keys when you walk in. You continue to walk up the stairs to more pirates and gold, of course.
 Emme, Eliza and Dallin, having the time of there life.
 The 3 of them are making a train, and going down the water slide.

 This is the grotto, the bottom pool. You can swim through those arch ways into a bar. There is couches and tables back in there. There is also hamocks hanging from the ceiling, over the water, Spencer loved them.
 If you swim into the waterfall, just right to the left of it is a cave. You canswim into it, in the cave is an aquarium, so it's kind of like you are swimming with fish.
 This is the big main water fall that starts at the top and runs all the way through the property.
 Everywhere you look the is pirates, skeletons, they where even in the trees.

This was so much fun, thanks for thinking of us. Love you guys. See you soon.

I was so glad to get to see you. You are so fun and full of sunshine and your family is just adorable and gorgeous and it was fun to get to know them all! I will definitely copy photos from your blog. Your lighting is all so good! I need help using my nice camera. Aly is giving me lessons!

I felt like I was there again! What an opportunity. I would so love to rent the place out someday so all of my family could be there.

Tons and tons and tons of love!
