Las Vegas Baby!!


Last weekend Brendan, Cruz, and I had the opportunity to visit our great friends Ryan, Stephanie, and Conner Heaton in Las Vegas. Brendan had a Pillar To Post convention their, so we decided to mix business with pleasure.

We got there Thursday night and went to In 'N' Out and had Animal Burgers, I should have gotten the Animal Fries as well. Oh, there will always be next time. Friday morning we all went disc golfing. Cruz got to go down his first slide as well, he thought that was pretty fun. Brendan got to go on an inspection with Ryan and see how easy it is to do inspections in Las Vegas (no crawl spaces, Brendan would love not to have to get in a crawl space)!! Friday afternoon Steph and I sat around while the babies took a four hour nap, hallelujah! The boys had their award banquet that night and Steph and I shopped H&M. This was my first H&M experience and it was a pretty cool, cheap store.

Saturay the boys left at 7:00am and Steph and I lazed about. We went to Cafe Rio for lunch and let me tell you what, it was as good as I remembered. Let me just say Cafe Rio is HEAVEN! Then we went back to house and lazed some more. Saturday night we met the boys, my dad, and brother Jeff on the Strip. We had enough time to walk thru the Bellagio, see two water shows, and have some Las Vegas Prime Rib Special Dinner (it was surprisingly good), before it started raining.
Sunday the boys left once again at 7:00am and Steph and I went to church. We lazed around all day and it was great. Cruz was in heaven all weekend with Conner's toys. I don't think I had to entertain him once.

Overall it wasn't what someone would think as a fun filled Las Vegas weekend. But I sure did. Brendan and Ryan learned a ton and Brendan got revamped and motivated. We unfortunately ended up bringing the rain with us from Washington. Cruz and Conner had a lot of fun together. Cruz always loves having other kids around to play with. This was the most relaxing weekend I have had in a very long time and, if you can believe it, Cruz was around the whole time. Thanks Ryan and Stephanie for such a great weekend.
