What happened on May 20, 2006?

On May 20, 2006 at 8:30 AM at the McCarran International Airport, the Shiba squad met each other and formed our group we know today! NOTE: Carly Marie and Zoey Chemestryo were not born back then. Nick Jack (then) and Anthony Carlsson were 6 years old, Vanessa Guerrero was 4 years old, Nikki Chemestryo was 18 months old, Darwin and Philly Rebecca were 13 months old, Lilly Roy and Carlos Montas were 9 months old, Tilly Martin was 8 months old, Nathan Augustine was 5 months old, and Cal Hugel was only 5 days old. The song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper" was playing which became the first ever song the Shibes listened to together.

When the Shiba squad met each other, there were lots of people that day. Nick Jack (then) and Ken Jack's parents, Anthony Carlsson's parents, Vanessa Guerrero's parents, Nikki and Zoey Chemestryo's parents, Darwin and Philly Rebecca's parents, Lilly Roy's parents, Carlos Montas' mother, Tilly Martin's parents, Nathan Augustine's parents, Cal Hugel's parents, Carly Marie's parents, Carly Marie's grandparents, Nick and Ken Jack's older siblings, Violet and Felix, Nick's younger but Ken's older siblings Leo, Kevin, and Mia, Anthony Carlsson's older siblings, Lucy, Mary, Abby, Lisa, Crystal, Danny, Maddie, Jason, and Cayden, Anthony Carlsson's younger siblings, Kingston, Carl, Jade, Joey, Linny, and Ivory, Vanessa Guerrero's older siblings, Victorio and Victoria, Vanessa Guerrero's younger siblings, Verdad, Verdal, Victor, Videl, and Vendetta, Nikki Chemestryo's younger siblings (which would be Zoey Chemestryo's older siblings), Jayden and Katelyn, Darwin and Philly Rebecca's older siblings, Gavin, Jack, Aksel, Madelhari, and Malene, Lilly Roy's older siblings, Gabe, Jilly, and Jeff, Carlos Montas' older siblings, Juan, Juan Carlos, Roberto, and Martha, Tilly Martin's older siblings, Stefany, Heidi, Helena, Henry, Herbert, Holly, Houston, Sari, Alejandra, and Edd, Nathan Augustine's older siblings, Marcelino, Mac, Cindy, and Oswald, and Cal Hugel's older brother, Cleveland, were all there that day.

Although there were tons of people that day, the Shibes had some sort of connection with each other, there was something about all the Shibes that felt special to us but also very happy, we wanted only us 12 to play games and so we did! That day the Shibes went out of the crowd from the others to interact with each other with the supervision of some Shibes' older siblings around the casino areas. The parents and everyone else stayed by the escalators to interact with each other, everyone stayed until 10:04 AM and their parents said they are going to McDonalds.

They arrived to McDonalds at 10:27 AM, Nick Jack (then) asked her mom if she could take Anthony Carlsson, Vanessa Guerrero, Nikki Chemestryo, Ken Jack, Darwin and Philly Rebecca, Lilly Roy, Carlos Montas, Tilly Martin, Nathan Augustine, and Cal Hugel over to the toddler area to play with them while they get the food, Natasha Jack (Nick and Ken's mother) said yes so Nick, Anthony, Vanessa, Nikki, Ken, Darwin, and Philly walked over there to the play area. Lilly, Carlos, Tilly, Nathan, and Cal were very young babies and couldn't walk, so they had to be carried, Nick was carrying Lilly, Anthony was carrying Carlos, Vanessa was carrying Tilly, Nikki was carrying Nathan, and Darwin was carrying little baby Cal. They played for a bit in the toddler area and then Alexis Augustine (Nathan's mother) came over to set up a medium sized playpen for all the Shibes which we all played in while all our other siblings were playing in the actual playplace, the Shibes just wanted to be with each other, parents supervised them while they were in the playpen as there were little baby Shibes in there. Nick, Anthony, Vanessa, Nikki, Ken, Darwin, and Philly just ate their food in the playpen with all the baby Shibes due to not wanting to leave their new best friends. Everyone stayed until 10:48 AM and their parents said they are going to the park now.

They arrived to the Rainbow Family Park at 11:00 AM, Gavin Rebecca (Darwin and Philly's older brother) assisted all the Shibes in playing in the park with each other and Shibes had a load of fun climbing over everything and hanging around with their new best friends and even enjoying conversations despite the fact Lilly, Carlos, Tilly, Nathan, and Cal could not yet talk or walk, Nathan could sit up but couldn't stand, Cal couldn't stand or sit up. Despite that, all the Shibes had a load of fun this day. They stayed until 12:31 PM and said that they will be going to The Venetian down the strip where they will all be staying the night there and said some older siblings of some Shibes will be babysitting them until they get done getting settled into their new neighborhood and new homes.

They arrived to The Venetian at 12:50 PM and rented suites, Shibes didn't wanna go separately so they were kept together the whole day. In the hotel room, Shibes played all kinds of games with each other, watching TV, looking at cool things, and exploring around their room for the night and without their parents as well. The first show that popped up on the TV was SpongeBob SquarePants which became the first show Shibes' ever watched together, Cal's parents also brought a Genesis over there so Shibes could play the game and the game they choose to play for the first time was Lemmings. The Shibes also took a bath with each other for the first time as well although it was adjusted a certain way so Cal's cord didn't get wet.

Later on, during a breaktime from playing, Nick talked about how they needed a name for their new friend group but couldn't decide on a name, so Nick, Anthony, Vanessa, Nikki, Ken, Darwin, and Philly came together to look up name suggestions and never found one they all wanted. Nick started looking up Shiba Inus, all older Shibes looked through these pictures of Shiba Inus for a long time and were fascinated by it, then Nick had the idea of "Shiba squad", all of them agreed to that name and the new name for this was officially "The Shiba Squad."

Later on, it was bedtime and Shibes didn't wanna leave each other, so all their parents talked about what they will do and really accepted the fact that the Shibes were so close to each other already so they agreed to letting Shibes sleep together in Alisha and Austin Marie's hotel room as it was the least crowded, Shibes got to sleep together thus being their first sleepover together. Shibes had the best fun at the hotel, at McDonalds, at the Park, the airport, everything that day.
