Football Final











Trey had 10 guys on his 8 man football team. While they only had 10 people, they dominated like few teams have. They did not give up a point until the 5th game, and went one whole game without allowing the other team a first down. The season went really well, until a kid quit and another got in trouble, so the had to cancel the last game. Trey played all over, with only 10 kids everyone had to play lots of positions, he had fun, made some tackles, passed for some touchdowns, and made some blocks. Rob coached, and with Trey in high school next year, his jr. high coaching days are probably over for now.

Vegas part 3




Saturday, we all went shopping at the mall. In the afternoon, Wayne and Penny went to the Lion King alone, since Rob and Jodi had just seen it. Rob took at nap, while Jodi went to go get us tickets to Ka! at MGM grand. Ka, is a Cirque. It is hard to describe, but its a story told via acrobatics and visual art. It was good, and we can't even begin to describe it. It is like no other show we have seen. It was the first Cirque show we have seen, and will probably see another one next time. The theater and stage itself was worth it. After the show, we went to ice cream, gambled a little, then went to bed. Sunday, we gambled again, ate breakfast and then went to the airport. A short delay, but we got back home around 8:30. It was great fun, and good to see family. We are already planning our next trip! We invite all readers of this blog to join us next time we go. It is always more fun with friends and family!

Vegas Random thoughts!




I think the economy has really changed Vegas. In the past, we really enjoyed sitting in the casino, where they used to have lots of free bands, karioke, etc... and play the game "daughter or girlfriend?" Every other couple that walked by was a great candidate for this game, however, this summer and fall, not only have all the free bands and stuff gone away, we literally saw almost no couples to play the game on! I guess the economy has really changed the dating scene! Also, every casino now has dancing girls. Dancing on tables, on stages, in cages, its really wierd. Jodi and Rob kind of enjoy watching the dancing girls, its kind of interesting. But in honor of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, we thought of taking pictures of the girls, but decided on spongebob instead!

Vegas! Again!


Ok, we loved our trip to vegas during the summer so much, we decided to go again! With it only a short 2 hour flight, why not? This time, we went with Wayne and Penny! I can't speak for them, but we felt they were really good travel partners. We flew into Vegas on Thursday night around 8:30. That evening, we went to dinner and provided Wayne and Penny with our visitor orientation of the area. On Friday morning, Penny and Jodi went shopping, while Rob and Wayne went with Bill (Rob's friend) golfing. They seemed to have fun, since everyone was in a good mood upon return. We then met Kim and Garry for dinner at the Claim Jumper. (Wayne paid!) Then it was off to the Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. Last time we sat in the third row, this time we were in the balcony, which may have been better seats! It was great again. I hope Kim and Garry had fun, it was fun seeing them! So, two thumbs up for Friday!
