On January 9-13, Paul and I had a get-away to Las Vegas to celebrate his birthday and to undergo a Time Share Presentation, which was about as bad as undergoing a medical procedure. It was still worth the trip though!
We enjoyed a trip to Red Rock Canyon about a 1/2 hour drive outside of Las Vegas. Here's a great pictograph site showing different hand prints, "painted" on the rock.
This was me jumping for joy to be on a hike with Paul. :)
Look closely to see an example of petroglyphs which are carvings in stone.
We loved this creative Cairn and the polka dot rocks which marked the trail well.
Such interesting and beautiful landscapes.
On Sunday afternoon we visited our niece Amy Larsen Eddington, husband Tom and three of their four beautiful children, Logan, Matthew and Courtney.
The Las Vegas Temple is situated beautifully in the foothills northeast of Vegas.
We had the grounds all to ourselves on a beautiful and warm day in January. Selfies aren't so flattering or maybe we're just getting oldish looking.

One of the highlights of the trip was to spend the afternoon and evening with my cousin Jerry Haslam and his wife Wendy. We walked a lot of steps taking in the sites. This is the Chinese New Year display at the Bellagio. We also took a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower to see the Vegas lights and the fountains below.
My group of Activity girls had fun creating their own sock snowmen.
They also helped to assemble 42 craft kits of the same project which were delivered for patients to make at Primary Children's Hospital and Shriner's Hospital.
After returning home we celebrated Paul's 61st and Ben's 26th that next Sunday. Grandpa and Grandma Ehlert, Niel and Andrew, the Stephensons and a couple of Mikele's roommates joined our party.
I love these two men and count myself lucky to have them in my life!
