Las Vegas!!

 
 
We have some pretty awesome friends.
Friends who were willing to take a vacation with us.
Friends who were willing to walk around Vegas with a hobbling 8 month prego woman.
Friends who were willing to eat at 3 buffets in 2 days with us.
 
Our flight got in super early (like 7:30) on Friday.
After we checked in our luggage we turned to the bell hop for direction on what's best to
do at such an early hour. Since we literally were the only people outside.
 He chuckled and said most people don't venture out until 10. Right, right.
Our first clue should have been the sole man sitting at the slot machines with puffy red eyes, nursing a drink of some sort and a box of Krispy Kremes.
 
So when in doubt, find a buffet!
It was fab-tastic.
See, we are happy as clams:)
 
 
Then the only smart thing to do after eating at a breakfast buffet is to head straight over to the 
Big Shot, of course!
 
They claimed to be cool, calm and not nervous.
 

 
We on the other hand were happy that we couldn't ride due to baby in the tummy! 


 Maybe getting a little nervous now.

Yep, that's a pee your pants kind of ride.
 



 

 
And then they got to ride another!
 


 






Jenni and Jake had to leave Saturday night so we bought last minute tickets to the 9:30pm Cirque de Mystere show. We usually are bumps on a log at that time but we both actually stayed awake and the show was amazing.

 
We also went to church the next day.
 I must say I really kind of like going to church in different places other than your own ward.
Casey showed me his hand out from Priesthood. I think that was his first ever legit handout from a man lesson. And the best is that instead of a ribbon, the tag is attached with a zip tie!
 


 
And my most anticipated part of the trip. Eating at Serendipitys!
 





We feel so lucky to have Jake and Jenni as friends!
Where shall we go next?!

It looks like ketchup smeared all over your pancakes in that food picture! Haha I was grossed out at your odd pregnancy craving and then realized it's probably some berry mixture.... let's hope. Casey and Jake are CRAZY to go on the claw ride. Sounded like a fun trip!

I've wanted to try serendipity's too. For some reason I thought it was in Cali or something. You look great and it's prob so fun for you to get out on vaca before your little miss comes along.How have you been feeling? I can't belive you only have about a week.
