Vacation Part I: Getting There & More

Hello from Utah!  I am going to do a couple of posts to get you updated on our vacation.  Devin and I left Cherokee on Tuesday and headed to Des Moines where we were able to spend a night with Lynnette, Kevin, Sophia and Derek!  I saw some cute pictures of the boys on hillabolt.com if you want to navigate there and check them out.  There is a link to them on the side, under my links!  Devin was able to play outside for a little while for the first time this year.  He didn't want anything to do with Derek's toys that you ride on, he was happy just following around Derek and Sophia.  We didn't get to spend a lot of time there, but we are going to get to on our way home.  

Wednesday we flew to Las Vegas.  Devin slept the first hour and a half of the plane ride and the next hour and a half he was a very good boy.  He started to get a little antsy towards the end and wanted down!  Hopefully our flight home will go as well.

We caught up with mom and dad at the airport then headed to the race track which would be our home for the next few days.  Thursday we went to the Hoover Dam and walked around for a little while.  The picture up top are from the Dam taken on my phone.  I think Devin enjoyed being outside and

 watching all of the people.

The next day we traveled to Old Las Vegas.  Grandpa took Devin as the rest of us went and gambled.  I took $40 and was down to about $5 when I won and then I had $47!  I played down to where I had my $40 back and I was done!  I found a machine that I really enjoyed playing and didn't want to leave it, but I really had to go to the bathroom.  So I got up and wandered until I found the restroom.  When I got back to my machine a guy was sitting there.  I walked around for about two minutes until he was done and went back to it.  He won $110 on it!  I had sat there and played on it for about 45 minutes and that's the machine I won my money back on.  I knew that I didn't want to loose it because I could tell that it wanted to give me money. Oh well, at least I didn't loose anything.  And yes, Devin is hanging out in a casino!
