SG & Sin City

Last week we got back from a really fun trip to St. George. Luke and I decided to leave Oliver behind with the Jensen's {thank you thank you thank you Trent and Amy} and to take my cousin Juan and our friend Rita. The first full day that we had, we took Juan to Vegas so he could see what it was like.

Don Juan is only 18 and he didn't get to gamble, so we did. Luke and I are not gamblers at all so we just played the slot machines for a little while. The first dollar I put in won about 18 free spins and I came away winning $24.50! Woohoo! I instantly cashed out and only played a few more dollars. Luke's biggest winning was $1.10. We had been in the casino playing for about 45 minutes when Juan finally got "carded" and we all left.


We walked a good part of the strip, watched the Bellagio fountains, visited the M&M and Coke factory, Saw a lot of crazy people, watched gamblers, and did a lot of shopping.

We walked around so much that we had to rest. We headed to the Cheesecake Factory (a personal Favorite in Vegas) to have a bite to eat. The best part was of course the bread, ranch, the chocolate tuxedo cream cheesecake, and the waitress thinking Rita was a child.

After resting from our trip to sin city, we took it easy for a little while...until we went bouldering in Moe's Valley. This was my favorite thing we did on this vacation and I think I'm addicted. Rita found out that they were actually having a bouldering competition that day so we headed down to see what it was all about. We watched the really good climbers for a little while before we were brave enough to try it ourselves....

RITA...aka: Frita, Frito, Froto!

LUKE!

KIMMY!

JUAN-CARLOS...aka: Juan, Don Juan

From top to bottom: Climbers falling...It's not what it looks like, I'm just getting chalk...The group...Rita making this whole bouldering thing look easy...and caterpillars everywhere.

The rest of our trip consisted of playing loads of Wii, Driving, Eating..A LOT!, watching golfers, going on morning runs, going on evening walks, shopping, sleeping in and laughing a lot.

We are already making plans to go down again next month. I love that we have something new to do there and can't wait to go bouldering when it's a bit warmer. I love SG and always enjoy spending time there with great people. Can't wait to do it again.
