Nov 23 - 27 Vegas

November 23, 2013

More school work and  organizing what the next few weeks hold.  RV parks are busier in California and as I have called a few places, I have found that they are booked and don’t have room for us to camp.  I found an awesome RV park in Anaheim that worked diligently to shuffle things to get us into their park for 2 weeks! Yahoo!!  They could not get us in till after Thanksgiving, so we decided to stay here in Vegas for longer than we originally planned.  But, it has been great to just settle for 10 days and enjoy the facilities here.  Peter and I went out on a date tonight!  We so much appreciate having Zac to do child care for Zane and Genesis!!  It was busy in Vegas and we waited in line for a while to get into a great smorg and enjoyed spending time with one another.

Had a great day at The Church LV!  Terrific worship and message by Benny Perez.  So thankful to spend time and have the freedom to worship the Lord and learn what He is teaching us.  The kids really enjoyed kid's church! 

Nov 25-26

The next few days we hung out at the RV park and just worked on things we needed to get done.  Swimming has been a blessing!  The kids got out and rode their bikes too!  There have been other kids around the campground, so Zac hung out with some kids and played football.  Zane and Genesis met some kids at the pool. Of course the kids also worked on school.

Peter's Story...

I took the motorcycle for a ride to try and find saddlebags for it. I was directed by the Harley dealer into a sketchy part of LV where two different guys came up to me and offered to sell me stuff for cheap prices. I don't hear very well and couldn't quite understand their brand of English so in the end I don't even know what they were trying to sell.

The store was a huge 'biker' leather store and had various leather goods including vests and jackets with hidden pockets to conceal your firearm! 

The sales clerk was quite helpful but all of the saddle bags were on hanging racks above your head. Rather than keep bothering her I just helped myself to a step stool, took down a set, went outside and tried them on the bike. With permission of course! I tried set after set and couldn't quite kind any that fit well. I finally decided to give up and go back to the motorhome. 

Zac had called me saying that he'd locked the keys in the MH and that Tammy, Zane and Genesis were at the pool and they didn't have keys either. Fortunately I had hidden a set so he was able to get in without me having to be there.

Earlier while trying some of the various saddlebags a gent stopped to chat about the Triumph brand of motorcycles and how good the one particular set of saddlebags looked.

When I went to leave, I noticed that the helmet I had sat on the seat of the motorcycle was gone! Of course my mind started to run through various scenarios. Do people not know that you don't mess with a guys motorcycle stuff? What if I caught them in the act and had a concealed weapon? Was it one of the guys trying to sell me stuff? The guy talking about Triumphs? Was it an inside job where they steal your helmet when you're not looking and then sell you a new one?

In the end I realized that I had put the helmet in one of the many saddlebags to see if it would fit. Ugh... With my head shaking in disgust with my overactive imagination I headed back into the store to see which of the 15 or so sets I may have left it in.

Peter and I took and opportunity to get a massage and go out for supper!  Peter had the best milkshake he has ever had at the Holstein restaurant in the Cosmopolitan!  For those of you who know Peter, that speaks loudly, as ice cream is his favorite!!
