Another fabulous Vegas wedding!

My cousin Lisa recently got engaged and a week later told us she was getting married in Vegas in 3 weeks! So we all hurried and threw a trip together.. I was amazed at how many people in our family could make it! The boys were super excited cause we were taking them this time. We drove down friday so we could be ready for the wedding on Sat. Vaughn was so excited to go all week he kept asking are we going to Vegas today?!! Then finally it was the day to go to Vegas. The whole way there he kept asking is this Vegas? Are we in Vegas? Finally we get to Vegas and I say " look Vaughn Vegas!!" He looks and says "Oh.." not so impressed I guess.. Oh well we had a great time! Here we are at the wedding.. Here comes the happy couple!! Lisa and Jeramiah Peterson:Here are all of us bystanders:Then it was time for pictures:The browne family, they were all able to attend:Here we are setting up for the reception, it was mostly done just the finishing touchesHere we are hanging around waiting for the luncheon to start:preparing the food for the luncheon:Chef Brett made yummy lasagna!! Here we are gobbling down the yummy food:Then it was time for the reception to start! I didnt get any pictures of the reception but here are the bride and groom cutting their cake:AWWW how cuteThen all the single boys stepped up to catch the garter:Vaughn was the lucky guy to catch it, with the help of cousin Kyle.It was a beautiful day! My poor cousin Lisa was feeling good tho. that stinks to be sick on your own wedding day. But she mad it thru and looked great! Then the couple was off onto their short honeymoon. That night me and my family hit the strip to show the kids some fun times is Vegas!!First we had dinner at Raising Cane's chicken!! It was soo yummy!! Then we went to the Aquarium. Where we saw the fishes swimming around and then a mermaid swam around for us too:The mermaid blew Lizzie a big kiss:She also had Vaughn come up to the glass and gave him a big kiss on the lips thru the glass.. then she told him to call her..man he already has the ladies after him..This was Vaughns favorite fish.. he thought his extra nose was funny:Then we drove by the Bellagio foutains, we tried to park to walk down and watch them but the Brooks family never found a parking spot.. the Aaberg family were lucky and got a spot. Then we headed the boys over to the pirate show at Treasure Island.. and.. it has changed since I last saw it.. so I would not recommend taking your kids to see it.. But the boys did like the cannon fight and the fire and fireworks.. the rest we could have done without.. oh well now we know..
Then on Suday we went to church and hung out with the brownes for dinner.
Monday we got up and went to FRY'S for Brandon, then we headed off to the M & M store. The boys loved it there. We got to dance with the yellow M&M. Then we watched there short 3D movie:
We kind of got a late start on our day. For we thought we were never going to leave Vegas. But we finally rolled out about 3:30pm. Quite a bit later then we wanted to but hey we were having fun! The boys did a great job in the car. Mostly cause we took our DVD player. We made it home about midnight that night.. Poor Brandon had to get up at 6am to head out to work. Sorry hon. Me and the kids enjoyed a LONG nap that day that was well needed! We had a GREAT time in VEGAS!! Congrats to the happy couple!! Mr& Mrs Peterson!!! Thanks for inviting us!
