Cameraless Vegas vacation

We went on a fun and crazy vacation; my camera broke.  I would have loved to put tons of pictures of our adventures, but no such luck.  But, I'll write all about it.  We spent several days in Las Vegas.  It was a great trip down; the kids were great.  We made a stop in Richfield and got a motel room.  They went swimming, and we went to dinner. We went and checked out a river that had flood water, and lots and lots of little black bugs.  James LOVED the bugs.
   We got to stay at Aunt Liz and Uncle Brett's house in Vegas.  They were at girl's camp.  We love staying there.  The kids already have their rooms picked out, and it is peaceful and feels comfortable.  Lots of memories in that house.  This time we didn't even break anything; Yea us!  We even got to water their tomato plant.  :)  Here's another big thanks to the Chititers for letting us stay in there home.
    We enjoyed Grandma V's cooking!!!  Verna is a wonderful cook, and I love going to dinner because she always puts on a feast.  Even her broccolli and cheese is better than mine.  We we able to look at some of her art work, and she is a master.  Her art is so beautiful, I would love to have her decorate my home.  WOW!  I can't even tell you how exquisite her work is.  The kids had a blast playing together, and it was great to get to know little Robert.  He is a cutie.  The kids loved painting with grandma, and doing a pinata, but when asked what their favorite part was, they said it was playing with their cousing Robert. 
    Thanks to Andrea and Todd, we all got to go to the Adventure Dome at Circus Circus.  Andrea is a marvel.  She can do everything!  We had a great time playing with cousins, and I truely enjoyed talking with the adults.  Thanks so much for the fun.  Grandma brought food, thanks Alex for that too, and we ate and talked, and played.  James and Robert LOVED the little train ride.  The kids really had a great time on all the rides, the lasor tag, and the motion theaters.  Thanks again to Andrea for the fun and exciting adventure!
    We had a great picnic in the park, and got to see Uncle Jack and Aunt Coralee.  It was fun to be together. 
    I also got to spend some time with my friends.  Kami came and we went to Applebees and had a great conversation.  I love spending time with her.  She is inspirational.  Thanks for being such a good friend.  I also got to spend some time with Julie.  We even made a late night/ early morning sonic run.  Good conversations, and great memories.  Thanks everyone.
