Princess Diana Exhibition; Ben's and Sarah's Families Join Us; Rebecca's Health Drama Gets Worse

We checked out this park in the morning thinking we would be walking trails. It was a cute park, but the trails were very short. We ended up walking around the neighborhood nearby.

The great thing about condo vacationing is we would go back from our morning walk, fix a good breakfast in our kitchen while we cooled down, then got cleaned up and headed out for our next adventure.

Since we were not expecting our children and grandchildren to arrive in town until that evening, I made plans for that day--something I knew the other family members would not care about.

I really wanted to go see the Princess Diana Exhibition. 

I loved that woman!! She was close to my age. I loved her dating and courtship stories and pictures. I absolutely loved watching her wedding. She started having her babies when I was having my babies. I read every article about her and loved keeping up with her and her life as a princess.

It was such sad news when Diana and Charles went through their divorce. 

And then I was totally shocked and in mourning for many days after I heard of her untimely death. What a tragic ending to her life. 

So now I am keeping tabs on her sons and their wives. 

As we were leaving, we were presented with a little brown bag gift. Inside was a small glass with the letter "D" and a rose etched onto it. 

I must say I very much enjoyed the exhibition. It helped me get my mind off my ailing daughter for a little while. 

Glen suggested we eat at the Garden Buffet at the South Point Casino. It was a good choice and was located about two miles down the road from where we were staying.

Ben, Haley, Kade, Levi and Maverick arrived first and were anxious to take a dip in the pool.

When Sarah got out of the car, I about started crying because she reminds me of Rebecca so much and we were all super sad about Rebecca and her family missing the vacation.

The rest of the days we were in Vegas, Glen and I took our morning walk along the street walking nearly to the South Point Casino and back.

We thought it was interesting to see two huge transformers standing out in a vacant lot along the way.

We had been happy to see Ben's and Sarah's families and were anticipating having some fun with them when we got the devastating news that put even more of a damper on our day.

Rebecca reported that she was now sick with pneumonia and her oxygen level was low.

The image of her foot getting worse did not help us feel good at all about her new diagnosis on top of her sepsis illness she was already dealing with. I was thankful she was in the hospital under constant medical care.

Meanwhile, we Vegas vacationers carried on with our plans to keep the seven grandboys busy and entertained. 

We had all bought pogo passes which was a one-time fee that got us in free to various venues and attractions in the area.

First stop was the Discovery Children's Museum. That place was so colorful and fun and had a lot of things to keep the children occupied.

Then back to our resort for an afternoon swim.

Rebecca had said she wanted to go to a magic show, so we all had tickets for that and were missing their family especially since this had been her request.

The show was Laughternoon featuring Adam London who was really into yellow rubber duckies. At one point he called Eli up on the stage and from then on I did Marco Polo of this and the rest of the show so Rebecca could be in on it with us.

Adam London greeted his audience after the show. I told him our daughter had missed the show because she was in the hospital and he wished her well and presented her with her own little yellow rubber duckie. That was sweet of him.

And that was Rebecca's health report at the end of the day. More suffering. More worrying. More praying for relief for all her ailments.
