I knew Dave had something up his sleeve, but what I wasn't quite sure. On Valentine's Day I opened a card from him to find the ticket information for airline tickets to Las Vegas. We left the following Wednesday, Feb 22 and flew out of Pasco to Vegas that morning. We flew home bright and early Friday morning so we were only gone 2 nights. We had made arrangements to go to Blue Man Group that night and stayed at the MGM Grand. We ate an awesome buffet dinner that ended up coming with our hotel room. The crab legs, shrimp, prime rib, fish, salads, and other things were great, but nothing compared to the wonderful little desserts. Had we known, we probably would have started with them!
The Blue Man Group was so much fun. We both laughed until we cried. It was worth every penny!
It was a LONG walk for a little pregnant girl to get to the show on time, and then getting back to our hotel was another LONG walk, but it was fun to see all the "sights" on the way to and from. Vegas is a crazy place that really comes to life at night.
Thursday we spent the day doing whatever we wanted. We explored the different shops and casinos, enjoyed the M&M World, ate when we wanted, stopped when we wanted, and didn't have anyone to check in with or worry about. It was so fun to just be us and to remember how much fun we really do have when we are together.
Of course we had to try our hand at a little gambling. Lost our whole dollar in the penny slots within minutes. Good thing it was only a dollar!
Thursday night we went to dinner with friend that moved to Vegas a few months ago. It was fun to catch up and visit with people we enjoy. Then we caught more night sights on the way back to our hotel (and of course had to shield our eyes from some of the sights as well. Definately Sin City!)
Wonderful friends took the boys during the day and at night a couple from the ward came and stayed at the house and got the boys dinner, bed, and breakfast. It worked out so nicely, and the boys had such a fun time they keep asking when Tyson and Chelsea are coming to babysit again. I don't think they missed us at all! And to be honest, we didn't really miss them either!

did you mean to be all matchy-matchy? haha
Im so glad you guys had a great time and got a little one on one before the next mills baby is born!!
Dave is such a good guy! A great trip. If you ever go back (personally I think Vegas once is enough) you need to see the Phantom of the Opera there. I hear it's amazing as the theater was built specifically for Phantom.
Las Vegas looks really fun! Kate you look really pretty!!
