We decided last minute at around 12pm on Sunday that we were going to Las Vegas for a few days. It had been a while since Ive see my family and there was a convention going on that we wanted to attend, so we figured what the heck lets go, approx 3 1/2 hrs later we were packed and ready to go.
Were here!!!
Grandma made meatloaf for dinner for us when we arrived and we visited with her for a while catching up on things we didn't get to talk about when we saw her briefly in Colorado and then we decided we wanted to go to the observation area at Macarran Airport to watch the planes land. It was a very windy night probably one of the windiest Ive seen in a long time there so the planes were a little wobbly and one even had to try to land a 2nd time because he just couldn't do it on his first go down. Ethan enjoyed it very much and it was a nice relaxation event the whole family could do.

The next day we just kind of hung around the house, my mom came over to see everyone for a second and we told her we'd be over to her house later to visit around 5pm, then I text my sisters to see if they wanted to meet us at the park to visit with Star and their dogs Boogie & Gizmo. We went to lunch with grandma first at Chapalas and it was delicious as always then off to the park to see my sisters. The dogs enjoyed each other well at least Gizmo and Star lol Boogie was a little stand offish and likes to bark alot lol We needed to go back to grandmas house to drop Star off before going to my moms house to visit. Shauna was having some allergy issues from being outside and because my mom and sisters have so many animals so we didn't get to stay long along with another reason that makes me grrrrrr so we will leave that alone. After visiting for about 45 mins we got Ethan some dinner went back to grandma, got ourselves ready to go out, and put Ethan down for bed Grandma Sue watched Ethan while we went out to see a movie.
Good Morning Bubba
Tuesday was a special day, we got to go to see my cousin Karli play softball for the first time ever. We had been to her practice before but never a game. She had no idea and we surprised her that we were coming. She did so well and even though she was sick and feeling like crap(when she got home her fever was 103!!!) She still was a trooper and played for over 2 hours in 70+ degree weather!! We originally were going to try to all go to dinner together but since she was sick we went back to grandmas house, Ethan hung out with grandma and Shauna & I went out to dinner at the Bellagio Buffet. The wait at the buffet was at least an hour if not longer, but after about 30 mins a worker from the bar came over and asked if we wanted to sit in the bar, still same food menu and price but we could go in right away....well of coarse we didn't mind. :o) We walked past everyone and right into the buffet to the bar, kind of felt like VIP lol anyways the food was very good and the desserts were amazing!!! After dinner we went to Excalibur to gamble alittle and of coarse lost it all, it never fails we never win lol then back to grandmas we went. It was nice to get a little date night with the wifey and enjoy some us time!

Wednesday was our last day, as we were going home tomorrow morning so we wanted to get some family things done but also visit with my family. During the day we hung around the house just hanging out with grandma. Then grandma made a dinner date with her friend, us, and my sisters, mom, and Callena(my sisters gf) at this little Sicilian restaurant. The food was to die for the lasagna we had was so filling and tasted great and we had a cannoli for dessert YUMMMMM as you can tell we love our food lol After dinner we took Bubba to the M&M factory and Coca Cola factory he loved the M&Ms and was so excited to be able to pick his own M&Ms and colors. The Coke factory on the other hand he really didn't have much interest in so we left and went walking just a small section of the strip in front of the MGM so he could see the fountains as well as the statues at New York New York and the castle at Excalibur. He enjoyed that also......

Lastly we had my sisters and mom come over to hang out for alittle bit before we went to bed, they played with Ethan and made him laugh alot. It was nice to be able to see them. After they left we went to bed, woke up early the next morning and hit the road back home. Great time in Las Vegas!!!
