First, Las Vegas!

Wow. Can it really be a month since I've posted? I should be...kicked. Gently, of course. But kicked none the less.

SO. I spent the first full week of August (7-14) in Fabulous Las Vegas! Micah's grandparents celebrated their 50th Anniversary, and to celebrate, their kids took them to Vegas and were kind enough to invite me. w00t. Vegas was a lot of fun. We mostly just wandered around the casinos and took in the free shows. On Tuesday, we went to the north rim of the Grand Canyon, which was really neat. Otherwise, we stayed in the city. Micah and Josh (Rita's boyfriend - Rita is Micah's sister) gambled a little, as did Mike (Micah's dad) and Pop Pop (Micah's grandfather). Two of Micah's cousins on his dad's side and one of his dad's brothers and his wife came as well. The cousins stayed with us, and they were really cool. We got on very well. We stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations Resort, which was about a mile or so from the strip but nice anyway. And free, so that was good. I don't really know what else to say about Vegas. It was hot, but not humid like Kansas gets. Overall, I really enjoyed myself. It was nice to get to spend some time with Micah and his family and get to know them a little better.

Oh. Wednesday night, Barb, Rita, Grandma, and I got to go to a show with the cousins. (Barb is Micah's mom) It was a variety show, and while some of it was a little odd, there were a few acts that were hilarious. Unfortunately, it's rather hard to describe the funnier acts, because you really had to be there. The jokes just don't come off as well...<3
