Viva Las Vegas!

About a month ago, I decided to fly down to Las Vegas, to visit my great friend, Erin Hatch. Then, about a week before I left, I found out that my brother and his family were planning to be in Vegas the same weekend. It was such a great weekend - so great to get away for a long weekend, and spend time with family and friends! My niece, Megan is getting so big, and my nephew Taylor just makes me so happy.

Friday, 3/12/10 - Erin picked me up from the airport and dropped me off at the zoo with Aaron and his family.
My nephew, Taylor, was shy for a few minutes when I first saw him, but then we were buddies, walking around the zoo :)

Here we are, sitting together - he would sit down, then pat the rock next to him, waiting for me to join him - we do this at the steps at my parents' house, too :)
This is how we spent most of the time at the zoo - I love this picture!

I sure do love this little guy!
That night, we also saw the fountain show at the Bellagio, then ate at the Circus Circus buffet for dinner. I also loved playing hide-and-seek with my nephew. His laugh is the best!
Saturday, 3/13/10
Since Erin's parents were in St. George, I went with her and her little family to see them. We had a great time catching up, and I played more hide-and-seek with Erin's 2-1/2 year old daughter. For dinner, I made cookies with Katelyn - definitely different than baking them by myself ;)

Sunday, 3/14/10
Church with the Hatches, and dinner at their house. Taylor and Katelyn had a great time playing together. It was so nice to spend the day with my family and the Hatches!

Monday, 3/15/10
Hiking with Erin and the girls, Cafe Rio for lunch, and flying back home.

Overall, a fantastic vacation! Thank you so much, Erin & Jason for letting me stay with you, and Aaron & Laura for hanging out with me!
