Going out in Style

We are home from our weekend in Vegas. We had such a great time full of fun activities. We were sad not to be able to meet up with our friends that live in Vegas, but we were on the go the entire time. Although our cougars didn't win the game we saw, it was fun to be there and cheer them on. As we all know, Vegas is famous for the buffets. We took advantage of that, and ate more than I ever thought possible. We hit the breakfast buffet- twice- and a Brazillian buffet that had NEVER ENDING meat supply. It was divine.
We went on a couple thrill rides including the Big Shot on top to the Stratosphere. The roller coaster at the New York New York hotel about killed us all. Kent said, "I can't believe I spent that much money to pay for the worst head ache of my life." It was a lot of fun and the coaster camera caught a picture of Brent and Erin.

We did some shopping and saw the sights of Vegas. We went to see the show "O" and it was incredible. Our friends were very thoughtful about making the weekend all about Kent's birthday. Thank you for helping me celebrate Kent. He had a weekend that was perfect for him to celebrate that last few days of his 20's! Tomorrow is his birthday and there is no way anything I do will be as great as this weekend was.

sorry I haven't commented on your blog for awhile- I have been so out of it. I did finally get caught up (with yours at least). Anyway- sounds like you had a blast in Vegas! How FUN. Boy, everyone needs a Reagran who will take their kids so they can go on a fun weekend trip! Jon and I are planning a trip without the kids to Ocean Shores, WA for our anniversary in May - - it will be soooo needed. We haven't been on a trip without the kids probably since our anniversary 3 years ago when we went to Nauvoo. We are currently feeling so run into the ground- it has been a hard year! I am just glad the weather is getting better and everyone's mood is lifting a bit. Jon's schedule won't really get better for a while . . . but I am learning to handle it better.
