Vegas Recap


We had a wonderful time in Las Vegas. I was surprised by the number of things for kids to do and quickly blew through my gambling allowance while they slept. Despite my horrible luck, Melinda and the kids won a suitcase full of stuffed animals at Circus Circus. Ben and Madie yelled with excitement as they saw the lights on each hotel, cheered for our Spanish knight at the Excalibur and discovered that Elvis is not only the coolest rock star ever, but also makes a great timeshare salesman. The King can truly do anything.

They also befriended a lost parakeet on The Strip. Everyone walking by stopped to comment on how cute they were as they talked to it. Apparently the odds of finding a lost bird are better than the odds at Black Jack.

And, yes, Melinda and I did renew our wedding vows in formal Hawaiian attire with Elvis performing the ceremony. I can no longer say that we aren’t technically married.

Oh yeah. I managed to get a “diddley” into this wedding too.

    That is awesome!!! You ahve done something I have always wanted to do, but never found the time to do….get my vows renewed in Vegas. Melinda is Beautiful as ever and you look as giddy as always. I am so glad you too have each other for this life time!!! You make a great couple and a great family.
    The kids look like the enjoyed the heck out of the trip. Did you happen to make it to the Shark Reef or the secret garden…althought Quinn is quite a bit younger he seemed to really dig on those attractions.
    Thanks for being part of my extended family…Much love coming your way.
    Love

    But did Mel have bare feet and flowers between her toes? That is what I want to know. It sounds like a wonderful trip.

    Ben and Madie look so cute! I’m glad you all had fun!
