Viva Las Vegas

In July my brother-in-law, Richard's company sent him to Vegas for a conference and so he flew my sister out and we all drove down to spend the week with them.  We had a great time!  We only get to see Brande about once a year and Richard even less so we soke up every minute we can get with them.  They were shacked up at the Manadalay and my grandma, Nada, was kind of enough to let the rest of us use her condo which is right off the strip.  We did a lot of swimming and tried to stay off the strip for the most part.  We ventured out one night and it was not a great experience.  Gabe hated it!  She was hot and didn't like the crowds and the noise at all!  Even Ryder was so over it at one point he hopped off the stroller and just stood there, not wanting to move another foot.  We ate at Fat Burger that night and Gabe kept covering her ears because the music and crowd was too loud for her.  So you'll see in one of the pics that Rich was kind enough to take her outside so I could eat.  The kids had a blast watching planes from Richard and Brande's room, swimming and just playing around the condo.  We missed Jerry and Dane but Pa was able to make it down at the end of the week.  So fun to spend time with family!  Thanks, again, Brande and Rich!
