Visit From the Drapers


Our good friends Matt and Toni Draper and their family stayed with us two weekends in a row on their way to and from California. We had a great time with them. We all lived in Reno at the same time. Our Reno friends were awesome! Saturday we headed to Bass Pro Shops which is connected to a casino. One of my classmates is a mermaid in one of the aquariums and they interact with the kids on the weekends. The kids all thought it was really cool. Ava talked about it a lot on Sunday.



After that we headed down to the strip and walked, and walked, and walked. It was pretty hot so we were beat by the time we were done. But, I love to go to the strip and see the fountains at the Bellagio.


The kids knew who to beg for pennies!


We went to M&M world but got there too late for the tour. Even though all of the different colors were neat it wasn't worth $11 a pound!! These were just the colors for the peanut M&Ms.


We saw the lions at the MGM. They were very lazy. They have a recorded lion roar that they play and Ava thought that the lions were very loud. It was a fun weekend! Can't wait to see them again and any other visitors coming our way!!!
