Vegas with the family!

Well, I left Thursday evening with my parents to head for Vegas where my uncle lives. My sister and uncle were waiting at the airport to pick us up. On our way back to Richard's house, I had the experience of eating Popeye Chicken for the first time. Arriving at the house we talked and then had a nice little sleep. Day two was interesting it took some time to get out of the house, but once Rob (my Dad's brother, my uncle) arrived we were talking again and left the house to go to the Santa Fe Casino. No money was won by anyone, but playing Keno with Dad and Shannon was a lot of fun. Day three, the girls (Shannon, Mom, and me) headed out on our own. After a long walk, a rest, we went shopping on the strip, had a makeover done, and then gambled and had dinner at New York New York. Home late at night, we finished the night off with the guys playing pool at Richards house. Day four was the Valley of Fire, a nice drive, beautiful sceanry, and a little hike. Then it was off to the Alliente Casino for a buffett and more gambling. Day five Rob headed out, then the family palyed a bit of "Mazedia," (an Italian game we think one of our uncles made up when he came back from Italy but that the family has loved playing for ages) then just a bit of relaxing in the sun before we went back to the airport to arrive in Salt Lake City with snow (again). No money won on the trip, but we had a lot of fun all the same. Enjoy the photos. (By the way this post was written in March and I am just getting to posting it).
