Brian's parents, Reed and Josie, came to visit us in
Las Vegas over the weekend. They picked up Austin from his mom's house and brought him with. We had
alot of fun visiting with them. We are both very lucky to have such great families. Saturday, we went to the Bass Pro Shop at the
Silverton Casino. The kids had fun looking at the animals and the fish tanks. They have a rock climbing wall in the store too, that the kids were dying to try.
Unfortunately, you have to be 75 pounds to climb, so Austin as the only one who was able to do it. They started him off on the easy course - he climbed it in less than a minute. A couple of the employee's that were around had seen him, and
sneaked over to watch as he was being geared up for the intermediate course. He climbed that one just as fast. By this time he had drawn a crowd and people were saying that he looked just like "
spiderman" climbing up that wall. Then he went to the hard course. This one was a little tricky, because of the way it was laid out. It took him a minute or two to figure out where he needed to go, but he made it to the top of that one too! The the employee who helped him, said that she has never seen anyone climb all three courses, and had never seen anyone that fast! I like to rock climb, and so I am excited to have a new rock climbing buddy. I think he will love going out to R
ed Rock this summer and trying it outdoors. Now I just need to get my brother Craig and his wife Erika out here to go with us!
After the Bass Pro Shop, we went to the Mermaid Cafe. The kids love looking at the fish, sharks and rays. Every hour they have a lady dressed as a Mermaid swim in the tank (she has oxygen hoses)
Brylee was completely obsessed with her, and the mermaid was so cute blowing her kisses and making hearts with her hands.
On the way home, we stopped at
McDonald's and let the kids eat and play. Afterwards, Josie and I went and got our nails done, and a great little nail place I like just up the road from us. Reed and Josie, then volunteered to watch the kids so that Brian and I could go out to dinner. We went to the new
Aliante Casino, just to see what they had. It was pretty crowded due to Valentines day, so we ended up eating at the
TGI Friday's (in the casino) because they could get us in the quickest. It was really nice just to be able to go out with just the two of us. We haven't been anywhere without kids for a while!
