Birthdays in Las Vegas

Our vacation started off with us going to Las Vegas. The vacation to St. George was already planned for the following week and we were planning on going into Vegas for a day. Ron's sister, Sheri, told us a few months ago that she was planning on celebrating her husband Todd's 40th birthday in Vegas the weekend before. His birthday is June 8. What a great way to extend the vacation for 4 extra nights.

We were with a lot of Ron's family for the first 3 nights. Ron's mom, Kathy, his sisters, Sheri, Kristy and Lisa, his brother, Ryan, his brother-in-laws, Todd and Cody and his nephews, Andy, Ethan, Josh and Brady.
We ate at a lot of yummy restaurants, including the best buffet in Vegas, The Village Seafood Buffett at the Rio hotel. I was so busy eating that I forgot to take pictures. We also did a lot of fun things. What a great celebration. Happy 40th Birthday Todd!
It was my birthday on June 9. Everyone had to leave and get back to work, so we had a wonderful time celebrating with just our little family. We took Lucas to do some fun Vegas things. We saw the Lions at MGM, went to the Coke and M&M stores, saw the Bellagio fountains and the Mirage volcano. He loved them all!
The best part of my birthday was going to my favorite Italian restaurant in Vegas, Battista's Hole in the Wall. It is located just behind the Flamingo hotel, which was convenient, considering that we stayed there. The food is wonderful and the atmosphere is perfect with a little old man that comes around and plays the accordion for you. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday celebration. Happy Birthday to Me!

Like always, Las Vegas was great. We were even lucky enough to have cool temperatures that never went over 86 degrees the whole time that we were there.
