Vegas

The week after we saw Mitt Bo had to go to Las Vegas for work.  He wasn’t sure if anyone from work could make it, so we were invited.  Then he found out Kris (his partner) was going to be able to make it too.  So, our families met in Las Vegas. 

The drive there was pretty good but when we were about an hour away the wind came.  It was blowing so hard that semis and motorbikes were pulled over because they couldn’t drive through it.  We were a bit nervous driving through.  When we got to our hotel, they told us they has lost two doors that day. 

We had a lot of fun but it was a quick trip.  We were only in Vegas a couple of days.  We couldn’t just walk around either because the wind never stopped blowing.  Kendra (Kris’s wife) and I went to Circus Circus with the kids and they went on a ride while we were there.  I don't know how many strange looks we got from people.  Her and I with 7 kids ages 7 and under.  They loved looking at the buildings and liked the M&M factory.  Excalibur was their favorite.

 

My favorite quote from the kids when we got there was, “Wow!  This place is better than Disneyland!” 

We also walked through MGM and ate at the Rain Tree Café.  The kids loved it.  

We packed up and stayed the night in St George.  We went to the temple visitors center and saw the temple.  I love that temple.  It is georgeous.  One interesting fact we learned at the visitor’s center was that they get more people to join the church from France who visit that temple (from bus tours) than from the missionaries actually serving in France.  Crazy!

Then we spent the weekend at Dustin’s house, where Brooke came and visited and the kids all played and we got a sitter and went to P.F. Changs.  It was a really fun week!
