a little jaunt to las vegas

ben had to do some business in las vegas a couple of weeks ago, so we all went along for the ride. ben's boss has a beautiful home in henderson that we stayed in one night and then we stayed at the luxor for a couple nights... which was really weird to do with our kids, but hey, that's the hotel that priceline.com assigned us. we went to the shark reef aquarium at mandalay bay, which our kids LOVED and are still talking about. we played "rockband" (kind of like guitar hero, but add in some drums and a microphone and rock your heart out) with the borgersons, some friends of the shafer family from the lovely town of aberdeen, wa. we went hiking with my friend lark and her family. we had a great time. as always, we didn't take nearly enough pictures, but here's a few...

we found kadin like this lounging on one of the beds at the boss's house... he's totally into living in the lap of luxury.

joel and kadin driving the rental car... they wish.


hiking with the fillmores. lark's little girl, afton, was seriously a pro hiker and climber, and lark was a true champ - she went hiking while 9 months pregnant. yes, that's right folks, 9 months pregnant. she rocks.


good times were had by all.

Are you comming down here this weekend? If so I would love to get together. Maybe meet you at the big D land. Let me know. (I obviously got all the juice from Morgans blog)

Gooo Las Vegas!! I hope you also saw some "nudey" shows as my dad calls them and hit up the slots. It's just not Vegas without them. :)

Kadin and Joel look huge! Man, we miss you guys...

That sounds like a really great trip. I need one like that right now. This Cleveland weather is so depressing! Enjoy CA!

It was so fun to hang out with you guys! I can't believe I was hiking up those rocks either...a little crazy, but lots of fun too!
