Mike and I returned Wednesday night from a great week in Las Vegas with Dan and Aranne. Mike had a morning of conference to finish up on Thursday. Not a problem! I went shopping! How lovely to have a bus from the hotel to the mall. That night we met Dan and Aranne at Claim Jumper as it was also Mike's birthday.
On Friday we checked out Planet Hollywood and then headed over to their house. That night was card class at Robbie's which is always so fun. While Aranne and I were there, Mike, Maile, and Ellie arrived. How great to see them, especially our girl, Ellie.
Saturday we went to Springs Preserve which is pretty new. We learned a lot about Las Vegas, its history, animals and water management. I never knew that there once had been free flowing springs there. Ellie liked the animal the best I think.
Sunday we went to church and had Easter with everyone including Al and Robbie. So fun!
Monday, the Mikes went to Death Valley to meet some of Mike B.'s friends and to camp. The girls had a great time visiting, going to the scrapbook store and the bookstore, and just hanging out. Dan came home each night to a house full of women, but he cheerfully took us to see the Mystic Falls show at Sam's Town one night and to the marina to feed the fish another.
It is always so hard to leave, but we do have some terrific memories. Thank you one and all!
The award!
