Landon and Las Vegas . . .
I was up about 9:15 this morning, early because it was a Landon Skype day.
While we were waiting, I got the coffee started and then we had some of Miss Terry’s great homemade banana bread that Nick brought over about 1:30 this morning.
Then about 9:40 Brandi called and said she had just put Landon down for a nap after lunch (it was 11:40 there) and that they would call us when he was up.
And a little before 11 LandonVision was on the air.
And he was his usual rambunctious self. A big problem now is that he moves around so much that the camera has a hard time keeping him in focus.
Brandi said she’s starting to long for the days when she could put him down, turn her head, and then look back, and he’d still be there.
Now he’s crawling off somewhere.
Jan said “Just wait ‘til he starts getting into your pots and pans.”
Our call lasted almost 20 minutes, and Landon never stopped moving. Brandi and Lowell are going to have their hands full.
So here’s a video of our little crawler.
After the Skype call, I put Mister outside for awhile to catch some rays. He really enjoys just laying in his chair and watch things.
People will go by walking their dogs and he won’t blink an eye.
About 1:15 Nick and Terry, and Jan and I headed to do some ‘stuff’. First we headed over to the bottom of the Strip to Fry’s Electronics. Nick and Terry wanted to check out digital cameras, and Jan and I just like to wander around the store. It was kind of unusual for me that I didn’t need anything from there, but I did get a computer magazine so it wasn’t a waste.
After Fry’s we drove over to the Galleria area to eat lunch/supper at Lucky Star Chinese Buffet. We had eaten there before, but it was a first for Nick and Terry.
After lunch we walked across the parking lot to check out the Panera Bread for Nick’s favorite Asiago Cheese Bagels, but they were out of them for the day. So after a quick stop at the Walgreen’s next door we got home a little before 5pm.
While Jan watched TV I took a great 2 hour nap before we all headed out again about 7:45 to drive the Strip. It’s just nonstop fun in Vegas.
We started at the top of the Strip, up by Fremont St., drove all the way down past Mandalay Bay, and then turned around and came all the way back.
We thought about stopping at Pawn Stars,
but decided to save it for another day.
Before heading home for the night, we stopped off at our favorite DQ in Las Vegas for a cool treat.
So by the time we got home, it was after 10pm, and Jan was asleep in 15 minutes.
Just another exciting day in Las Vegas.
