Day Two - Family BBQ

Day two started with a trip to the grocery store, courtesy of the timeshare shuttle.  We decided to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor cabana with BBQ grills and got hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings.  We also bought some stuff to help us keep to our budget and eat at our condo and save our pennies for the really nice meals.  We really appreciated all the wonderful services and ammenities that they had at Summer Bay.  After unpacking the groceries we called Aunt Michelle (our mom's baby sister) and she came in from Pahrump to spend the day with us.  It was so wonderful to sit in the cabana and let Chris do the grilling.  We got to visit a lot and just had a great time catching up on everyone's lives.  One of the places we really wanted to see was Freemont Street so we decided that we would go down there.  I had read about a show called "Marriage Can be Murder" that was playing at a hotel down there, so we decided to get tickets for the show that night.  Michelle was kind enough to be our taxi and stayed and joined us for the show.  It was so funny and you had to pay attention to see who was the murderer.  They really included the audience as much as possible and everyone felt like they had a "role" to play.  Before the show Michelle and Rene played a few slots, Cindy played some Blackjack and Chris played some poker.  None of us are usually gamblers but we had fun for the few minutes we did and I think we all lost a few dollars.  Goes to show that one should never try to bet any money they can't afford to lose.  After the show we walked around Freemont Street, watched some of the light shows on the giant overhead screen and did some shopping for gifts and souveniors.  Then it was time for Michelle to drive home and so she dropped us off at on the strip and we went to watch the Mirage Volcano.  They have really done a good job rennovating it!  What a fun thing to watch.  We then caught the shuttle back to our place and spent more time visiting and joking around.  It sure was nice to have Chris with us, he was so funny telling us that he was there to take care of his two dowager sisters!  Soon that will be the truth, I just hope he is as happy to do it when we need it.  LOL

Day two ended the same as Day One - sitting in the hot tub and soaking away all our troubles.
