We decide to sleep in a bit and work on the blog. We have been getting a little flack about not posting fast enough – so we are trying to catch up.
It rained last night; seems like it always rains when we are in Vegas. More rain today as well. Going to meet the kids for lunch at Smashburgers – so Dale can get his burger fix.
As we travel through Summerlin we see some interesting eating places. “Nacho Daddy” – too funny!
Too many choices – the Sin City burger? Jason and Dale opt for the Classic Smashburger, while Katri and Nancy have the Southwest Salad (Kate opts for chicken added to her salad).
The cashier and wait staff are very happy and friendly here and it is contagious!
After a delicious lunch we head back to their apartment to catch up and play with the dog! It is still raining, although we are told it never rains in Vegas.
Minion needs a lot of exercise so the plan is to take her to the nearest park. But first we need to suit up as the weather is not very cooperative.: rain and 54 degrees. As we try to put socks on, Minion decides she would like the socks as well and tries to take them off.
After much laughter, we do get the socks and shoes on and we all take her to the park.
This is a Chuckit – launches the ball well over a hundred feet!
Jason throws both grounders and bouncers for Minion to fetch – she is very fast and can catch the ball mid-air.
Katri takes over and continues to throw the ball – we are into this exercise about 20 minutes now. Minion must be tired! Jason assures us this is just a ruse and sure enough, the little scamp is ready for more. 10 more minutes and she is finally done.
She is a wet puppy and tired enough for us to go to dinner!
Let’s go to a restaurant with a fireplace – it is wet and cold!
Okay – The Lazy Dog fits the bill! Always a good meal here! Now for food!
We start with Cajun Fries and Chicken Verde Nachos and end with Buttercake!
So good to see the newly weds happy and healthy!
