Morning & Night

Good morning....Good night

 

Sunday Snapshots

 

Garlic's in

Today we planted one of our two varieties of garlic. It seems "better late than never" is a running theme this year when it comes to gardening. I'm grateful for the grace of these warm October days and the helping hands that make it possible!

These two boys were super helpful chopping down the asparagus ferns and loading up the quad trailer to take them to the compost. The garden is just about Winter ready!

 

New Ref in Town

Hyrum and Joe recently completed their reffing course for Hockey and they've been looking forward to making some extra money this season as neither of them are playing. Hyrum reffed his first game tonight and had a lot of fun! 

Homeward Bound

We all woke pretty excited to go home! It's been a fun few days, but we are looking forward to seeing everyone and sleeping in our own beds. 

Farewell Vegas!!

 

Final Day

Today was our last day in Vegas. We made sure to spend some time at the pool and then walked around to some different shops again!

Ollie picked out this treat at one of our pit stops and asked for a picture to show the boys.

We had only viewed the Bellagio from outside, but with taking the tram down this far, we got to walk through it to get back to the strip. It was super cool checking out the gardens and the lobby.

We caught one more fountain show in the late afternoon and then meandered our way back to our hotel for dinner.

The boys were pretty stoked about their pizzas and shirley temples. They had worked up quite the appetite! 

 

Cirque du Soleil

Today was filled with more walking and exploring! We headed to the Flamingo, Paris, and Venetian hotels to see inside and check out the different shops.

The evening brought us to the MGM Grand for a Cirque du Soleil show! It was super cool watching it all unfold with the acrobatics, the moving stage and the crazy vertical stunts they were doing. The story line was a bit weird and hard to follow, but it kept us entertained for the evening and was something different that the boys had never experienced before!

We then grabbed a late dinner and tucked in for the night!

 

NHL Game Time

The boys woke up excited for their first day of exploring! We ate breakfast at the house of blues where we enjoyed giant pancakes and french toast.

My favorite!

After breakfast we changed into our swim suits and headed down to the pool to check it out and swim!

It was hot and beautiful and the boys were fascinated by the palm trees!

The water was colder than I was expecting, but these two didn't seem to mind!

When they started getting hungry for lunch we wandered back to our room to change and go out to find a restaurant. 

We ended up at the Panda express where we all enjoyed orange chicken and other sides. 

The evening brought us to the arena for a Golden Knights hockey game. The boys were pretty excited about it!

We hung out in line until the doors opened and then scanned our tickets.

We hit up one of the shops inside for a quick souvenir for each of the boys. 

Then we found our seats and took in all of the pregame fun!

The game was loud and exciting and they ended up winning! The boys had a blast!

Afterward we ventured further down the strip to the Bellagio to show them the fountains and some other cool things. Our feet were dead by the time we made it back to our room for the night!
