Friday night lights

Date night = High school football game... Yip, it was a perfect night!

Our good friend Brian is the head coach for Sammamish High School. 

Plus Tanner is the punt holder retriever :)

Wait for it....

Go Tanner, go!

After the game, we got to go down the field and see Brian.

Brian and Holly after the game.  Colby and I both forgot how much fun high school football is!  Next year we plan to attend a few more games!!

Guess Where we went...

Viva, Las Vegas! First class style.

Kim's college friends Holly and Brian hooked us up with tickets and accomodations to Vegas. Colby was able to sweet talk the phone agent and throw around his clout to get us upgraded to first class on the way down. We made great friends with the flight attendant and her wonderful cart-o-drinks!! The hostess with the mostest also threw in snacks and some drinks for the road to help get the party started.

Touchdown in LAS

We were a happy crew waiting for our luggage. The drinks helped sustain us in the line for a taxi in 104 degree heat at 9pm.

Can't wait to begin

As soon as we checked in, it was off to the casinos. Our bus dropped us off in front of Caesar's Palace.

Here we are on the "Moving Statues" escalator. The first spiral escalator I have ever seen.

Kim rubbing the Buddha belly for a little luck

Vegas does exist without the lights

We made the most of each day by trying to see all the casinos on the strip.

Jackpot, baby!!

Kimmie had a dream that she would hit it big on one of the big slot machines... Well she didn't but Colby did!! Kimmie still swears he cut her in line.

Colby's $1 investment netted him 10 buckaroonies!

Colby had serious beginners luck! He won the Planet Hollywood blackjack table tournament. His winnings were two tickets to see "Stomp out loud" and $50!! YEAH!! Kimmie, needs new shoes!!

Brian had stars in his eyes, oh wait, are those $25 chips??

As you can see, Blackjack treats us very well. Kim won a little more this time but Colby didn't do to shabby either. Kim also won the slot tournament we entered but nobody was fast enough with a camera to catch her jumping up and down. Her winnings for that??...a hat. 'Nuff said!
