Daddy's 35th Birthday in Vegas

Tuesday Night Gramps arrived!
 Wednesday, we ran lots of errands to get Gramps acquainted with the town
 buddies!


 We celebrated Daddy's Birthday before we left
 Thursday morning Mommy and Daddy left bright and early!
and then... we waited and waited and waited ON the PLANE!
Long story short... but we ended up waiting 2.5 hours on the runway before being sent back to the gate... where we waited another 30 minutes for them to re-rout people.  We were then let off the plane for an hour, to return back on the same plane.  At that point a few people decided not to get back on... SO, we waited another 1.5 hours to recalculate... before pulling out of the gate.  At that point the line of planes to take off was VERY long and planes were being allowed to take off with 15-20 minutes between each plane.  That being said, our 9:05am flight FINALLY took off at 4:44PM!
Still smiling and very thankful that we didn't have kids in our laps!  
We missed our dinner reservation and show... thanks to the crazy air traffic!
Oh, well, we made the best of it!
 We went to the hotel buffet
 which was quite pretty and very yummy
 Mommy ate my weight in Cauliflower and Sushi!
 and the Diabetic (and super skinny) guy had his picture taken with the yummy desserts! haha
and by 6am on Friday, Nat and Tim had arrived!
 After a yummy breakfast, we toured the Wynn & Encore (where we stayed)
 and set out on the town!

 Happy 35th Birthday my LOVE!

 We had the best time together
Ceasars Palace
 The Bellagio

and the most amazing birthday dinner at Homestead


 Before going to Elton John!

These boys had so much fun watching the Vegas Knights after Elton
Saturday we enjoyed a day at the pool


 Followed by watching the Kentucky Derby

and then a delicious dinner at Sinatra's

before going to see the very impressive Le Reve!

Jimmy and I had a great time on a vacation without kiddos, and are so thankful for Grandma and Grandpa for keeping them at home!  The kids had a blast and can't wait for them to come back!

 Gradma arrived at 6am on Saturday
Gramps managed to get all 3 kids up and in the car to go pick up Gma
 They went to the zoo...
 and had more ice cream!
 Yummy!
 and learned that the only way to eat a sandwich is with chips ON it!  (I couldn't agree more!)
What fun!  Thanks again Gma and Gpa!  We love you and thank you for letting us have this opportunity!
