Easter 2008

This Easter we celebrated by doing what we usually do at holidays - go to the Nakabayashi's to eat. What can I say? We love it there!

I admit I was a little worried when I received a text early that day from Brett that said "Don't dress up...you might need to run." I think it's common knowledge that we California Basses aren't really big on the whole exercise thing. Needless to say, we knew we would be in for a surprise that evening.

Upon arriving at the Nakabayashi's house, we learned that we'd be having an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. I can't even tell you the last time I participated in an egg hunt on Easter. We had a great time scouring the yard for the eggs that were generously filled with candy and...money! That's the beauty of adult Easter egg hunts. Brett did a really good job hiding the eggs. It was definitely a challenge finding all 68 eggs. In the end, Shye was the big winner since she found the most eggs and won the grand prize...a giftcard for gas!

After the egg hunt, we ate (another) great, delicious meal made by Aunty Gwen. She really spoils us with that turkey....

Here are a few photos of our Easter...

Vegas (again)

Last weekend, we decided to spontaneously road trip to Las Vegas. We left on Friday night, arrived in Las Vegas late Friday night/early Saturday morning, and left to come back home on Saturday afternoon. Yes, it's insane. But, it's not the first time that this has happened...and I'm sure that it won't be the last!

Since we frequent this city so often, it's not really much of a novelty anymore. It pretty much went like this....

Drive
Go to Barstow for gas and In-N-Out
Go to Primm to gamble
Try not to lose too much money in Primm
Sleep in the car for 2 hours
Gamble for most of the morning
Lose some money
Win some money!!!
Go home

AND...I won my first sports bet which was very exciting. It officially made us winners for the weekend which is a rarity, believe me.

Here are some photos of the very exciting trip -
