Arrived 10-16 and straight to Kris's new home! She looked great and what a wonderful job she has done re-doing her home! It is just perfect size, location great and her new purchases make everything look so welcoming! Kris kept Bailey for us and we proceeded to the Riviera Casino for two free nights which Pete had arranged. She joined us in the evening to celebrate Pete's birthday. Her guided tour of the Wynn and Encore added so much. Beautiful garden area and huge outdoor water screen with performances every 15 minutes--see picture below. Both hotels were just over the top gorgeous! We took the birthday boy to the Wynn buffet and spent 2 1/2 hours enjoying great food and conversation. What a treat that was. A birthday to remember!

Today we saw the Mac King show at Harrah's complements of our good friend Len Hibbard. He recommended this comedy magic show and it was great fun. We loved it. He told us to look for the handsome bald usher Robert and ask for booth seating. We were to encourage this with a $5 bill which
worked beautifully and we were sitting pretty! Wonderful salmon dinner later at at Kris's and the next day off to Valley of Fire one hour north of Las Vegas for some hiking.
Kris fixed us a "hiking man's" breakfast and at the crack of 11am we were off to the Valley of Fire park 1 hour north of Las Vegas. It was full of red rock formations and we hiked the Mouse's tank trail on sand--like the beach but red sand! The next hike was the White Dome's trail--that was beautiful. It was 78 degrees and that was hot enough! The sky is SO blue here that it doesn't look real! A nice picnic lunch to prop us up for the drive home---especially nice since Kris did all the driving--and we arrived home just in time for our 5 pm nap! Tonight Kris and Pete are making chile and homemade peanut butter with honey roasted nuts. I'm sure a peanut butter chocolate milkshake will be necessary to fuel us for tomorrows activities!
