Rayme and I flew down to celebrate Nicole's birthday- a week later! (Yep, I got to fly again .) It was a fun weekend, and it has been awhile since Rayme, Nicole and I have been all together. Some of the things we did, we went to the Pro Bass Store - it is huge sporting goods store and we browse the store for quite some time. The store has different animal displays (not live animals) one being a giraffe. Rayme was trying hard to get a perfect picture of the giraffe and Nicole, but it was a bit tricky not to get just the legs of the giraffe and not to have Nicole climb up on the giraffe (there was a sign not to climb on the animals). Rayme decided laying on the floor was the best angle to get the picture. Little did the nearby customers know that he was taking a picture and thought they should call 911, as they were afraid he had collapsed on the floor and needed medical attention. Never a dull moment with the Chapin's. (Nicole has the picture on her camera.)
Since it was Nicole's birthday and we flew, packing a present wasn't the best idea. We figured Las Vegas has stores and shop for her gift there. That meant a journey to Costco to pick up her gift, little did I know that she inherited her fathers trait of riding the cart through the parking lot.
When I was in Las Vegas the last few times, we didn't have a chance to go the strip at all (apparently some locals never go to the strip except to take their out of town guests). There are lots of free entertainment on the strip. We have never experienced the Bellagio Hotel fountain with music. We watched a Discovery Channel one time and the show went behind the scenes with the fountain construction and engineering. It truly is amazing. The lights on the strip are so fascinating.
Our brother-in-law Bob joined us on our next adventure visiting Mandalay Bay "Shark Reef" aquarium. Since the night before we were watching some of "SHARK WEEK" we knew all about the protective gear the divers wear when diving with sharks. Sure enough we were in area of the sharks and yes the divers were in with the sharks and wearing the shark protective apparel. 
What a great weekend celebrating!
