Alec turned 10 on February 7. He wanted to go snowboarding for his birthday - so he, I, Brad and Jason went to Snow Creek on Saturday the 6th. Jay and Al snowboarded (including 1 hour of lessons), Brad skied and I took pictures. On the way home we stopped for his birthday dinner at 54th Street. It was a good day.
On Sunday we had a family party at Grandpa and Grandma's
On Feb 13 we went to our first Maverick's Hockey game at the Independence Events Center. It was scout night so several from our Cub Scout Pack were also there. It was a good time.
Sun, Feb 21 through Fri, Feb 26 - Brad and I went to Las Vegas. My parents stayed with the boys while we were gone. I have such wonderful parents!
It was snowing and icing on Sunday so we were afraid our flight might be cancelled - but luckily it wasn't. It was delayed about 1 hour and had to be de-iced - but we made it safely.
It was 60s and sunny most of the time in Vegas. It was great!
We stayed at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. It was nice - but a bit pricey and too far away from everything. We probably won't stay there again.
Here are a few things we did:
Walked
Gambled

Shopped

Visited the Conservatory at Bellagio
Walked
Went downtown to the Freemont Street Experience

One day I went to lunch with an old friend that now lives in Vegas. She picked me up and we drove down the strip to the Peppermill for lunch. It was nice to see her and catch-up.
My feet did not fair well with all the walking. One of my blisters got infected and was very painful. Had to go to urgent care on Saturday for antibiotics. Coming home Friday was not fun with a very sore foot. It was a LONG day! We did not get home until after midnight.
But anyway - we had a good time. We won't go for that long again. 3-4 days is our max. It will probably be awhile before we go back. Maybe our next trip will be somewhere tropical and relaxing.
That's about it for February. Blue and Gold banquet was Saturday night and Sunday we just stayed home. Today back to reality.
