Vegging in Vegas

There are alot of things that Vegas is NOT good for- like enjoying the weather or the lush and green.  But there are some things that Vegas is GREAT for, like running a 1/2 marathon in January.
They look pretty good after running 13.1 miles in 50 degrees on a sunny Saturday morning.

 Checking their times... and feeling pretty good about it.
 Here is BJ telling Maizie how great it was.  She just laughed...
While the boys were doing this...
 The kids were doing this -  they found the biggest dirt pile around and just layed there.  When I asked what they were doing Lincoln said  "just getting comfortable".
 After the race comes the fun part.  The sore muscels!  Tod brought a roller and they took turns torturing each other.  I'm not so sure they felt better afterwards but it sure was funny hearing them howl in pain.


They stayed a trio all weekend.  The table needed fixing so Tod went to Home Depot for the screws but somehow it took all three of them to put the eight screws in. It's not fun unless it's fun for everyone!
 .
 We decided that if we worked so hard all morning (running a race and watching kids) that we deserved a night out.  Got a sitter and went to PFChangs-incrediably yummy as always.


The we raced downtown to see The Phantom.  Done in true Vegas style -oh yeah, another good thing Vegas is good for!  Ok, we found enough reasons to come visit you again Beej and Kik!! 

Thanks for being great hosts.  We had a ton of fun.

I'm so glad it was a great weekend! I love the matching shirts. It's going to have to be a tradition now.

The picture of the "trio" on the floor reminds me of the night before BJ left for his mission. We have good memories of being on the floor, I'm glad to see that BJ's kids are starting it early.
