Las Vegas

Two weekends ago we got spoiled. Cody's dad has some very wealthy clients in Japan. One of them, Yamadasan, wanted to treat us all out to a nice dinner, show, and hotel Monday night. He brought his wife Yokosan and two children, Masanobu and Sara. We stayed at the huge Aria hotel, ate at a steakhouse at Monte Carlo, and saw the blue men group.

It was so fun spending lots of time with family and getting to see our awesome nephews. I also enjoyed practicing the very little japanese I know.

 We had Jared in the car with us when we got to the hotel. He was so excited he was talking non stop. He pointed out every Camaro, Mustang, Corvet, Convertable and hardtop that he saw. I didn't even know what a Camaro looked like until Jared showed me. Such a treat to have that boy with us. 

After walking through a mile of Casino, the boys were so excited to go see the awesome hotel room!

  Finally made it. Jared and Cam were very excited to go swimming. 

Cody and I got to visit m&m world for a few minutes. We got Jared an m&m action figure guy and Cam an m&m golf ball. Unfortunately I forgot to get a picture of them. 

The steakhouse at Monte Carlo was a 3 course meal. It was so fun to listen to Cody talk with Yamadasan and understand a few words here and there. This was the second nicest meal I've ever had. The first nicest was a 6 course meal at Cody's Christmas work party. 

We weren't allowed to take pictures of the cool stuff during the show, only the last ten minutes. 

Jared and Masanobu collected as much of the party toilet paper as they could. Yamadasan had to bribe them with candy to get them to throw it all away. 

And to finish off...  here is the video I made. Just a few fun clips.
