Kevin and boys in Vegas

When we arrived in Vegas and got parked at Thousand Trails and all set up. We will be spending a few days here and visiting with my Son Kevin and our 2 Grandsons who live here in Henderson.

We went over to Kevin's and both Christian and Kevin were working, so we took Cory out to dinner. Most of the time everyone is talking and laughing, and since Cory is the quiet one, he does not get to say much, so it was very nice to get to spend some time with just him alone.

Everyone is working all different shifts, so it was hard to get everyone together, but did manage to meet up for breakfast one day, Sam's Town always advertises their buffet's so I decided to take them there for the Breakfast Buffet. It was not very good at all, but we all talked and laughed and had fun anyhow, so not all was lost.
The next day was a football game on TV, so since the guys all wanted to watch football, I decided to cook my homemade chili. It was very good and I fixed rice and macaroni, and we had cheese, crackers and chopped onions too. Everyone ate a lot and watched football, it was a lot of fun. We took them home later, but everyone was full and happy. We even had leftovers to send home with them for lunch the next day.

Since everyone was working the next day, we decided to head out to Nellis AFB and check out the BX and of course the golf course. So, spent most of the day shopping at the BX (Joe was at the golf course) and then we went over to the commissary and did some grocery shopping too.

We only had one more day in Vegas, so we went over are picked up Kevin and the boys, lucky for us, nobody had to work until later that day. We took them over to Harrah's for Brunch, we know the food there is the best, so wanted to go to a good place after the other breakfast we had. We spent about two hours talking and laughing and eating, had a great time too.

That was the end of our visit in Las Vegas, we loved our visit here, we actually got to spend more time with Kevin than we usually do and that was so nice. We will be leaving the tomorrow to Southern California for the winter. On the way to CA, we stopped at state line to fill both vehicles up with fuel. The prices in California are always much higher, so we wanted to start out with full tanks.
