That time we went to Vegas and spent a ton of money

It was the second annual Girl's Trip to Las Vegas (you can read about the first one HERE and no, Katelyn was not invited this year)

We made it a tight trip this year because Julie was saving up PTO for when Nate got home at the end of the month so it was a non-stop fun fest! and some things that were not quite as fun. As we were drying passed Yuba, I was retelling Julie a joke I had made to Grandma Swenson when I jokingly asked her if she had brought the key (jokingly, because obviously she had right?) WRONG!!!! The key had been sitting on the counter at home... she thought I'd grabbed it.... I thought she'd grabbed it... NO ONE GRABBED THE KEY.... as a quick refresher... we were in YUBA!!!! for those of you that do not know, that is an HOUR away from Spanish Fork. Needless to say, we had to drive back home, get the key, and drive back down. It has been over three months since the incident and I don't think we have recover from it yet. I supposed we can count our blessing that we realized "early-ish" enough to turn around and didn't make it to St. George without the key.

We finally made it to St. George at around 10 PM and had to take a picture in order to get the weekend stared. Julie yelled "do the Julianna face" (open mouth smile) and then she got us by not doing it herself...
This year, we had Alaynah with us. She could not come shopping with us because she had to work, but as she worked in St. George at the time, she came to spend the nights with us once she got off.

After a quick trip to the grocery store we were ready to watch a ridiculous amount for Family Feud (the number one show watched by the Keele family when they visit St. George)
also... on a non-kids or husband trip... Mamma reaches for the good cereal!
we ended up staying up way later than we should have so we had a slower start than we wanted to in the morning... thankfully, it was nothing that the Habit (or the fact that Las Vegas is an hour behind) couldn't fix
We took this picture right before starting... and then proceeded to shop for almost 6 hours
matching cat ears....
I need to go ahead and point out that it was 115 degrees in Vegas when we were done shopping at 7:30. If you are thinking right now... dang that's hot! You would be right! It was crazy hot! I really do not know how people are able to live in that

We have Chili's for dinner including amazing guacamole, which if you didn't know... I have a serious love connection with avocados
After we got back to St. George, and met up with Alaynah we sat down to watch "Easy A" Julianna hadn't seen it... it was a right of passage
Thank you pretty ladies for such a fun weekend... it is definetely something we need to keep doing for years and years to come!
