The next stop on our trip was Las Vegas. We were there for Brig's soccer tournament, which I am sad to say was a great disappointment. But we were very fortunate to have Brigham's brother Nephi and his beautiful wife Melanie to show us around. Our first stop was the Tournament of Kings at Excalibur. It was so much fun. They feed you a pretty good dinner that you have to eat medieval style without utensils. You get a whole chicken, two potatoes, a head of broccoli, a biscuit and an apple slab pie. Oh and they start you out with some Dragon's Blood which is tomato soup. Some of the kids had no problem tearing into the chicken- others were more .....uh....dainty about it. We all loved the show which included jousting and sword fighting. The king from Norway made Katry's heart go pitter-patter so we snagged a picture with him. Can you blame her?
Nephi, Melanie and their adorable kids. Such a sweet family!
We sat in this section- Russia. Fitting- considering Brigham's ties. Our king was a bit of a cheater but we cheered him on anyway.
After the show we took a hike down to the Bellagio for their fountain and light show.
It was impressive.
Then we went inside for their flower show. So many beautiful flowers!
We had also stopped at Ethel M chocolate factory- unfortunately, they weren't producing any chocolate during our visit. But we got to sample some.
The next day were Brig's soccer games. The Nephi Redds joined us and we tried to cheer them on to victory but it was to no avail. After the games we went back to their cute home where they fed us a yummy lunch. We loved visiting with them! Thanks so much for giving us a great tour, getting a great deal on tickets for us, cheering with us, sharing your pictures and feeding us.
The Nephi Redd's are the best!
Sunday we visited with family between conference sessions and drove home during them. So thankful for all the hosting- nice places to stay and good food!
It was a great week and we were all sad to get back to business on Monday.
