Ron and I had a wonderful time in Las Vegas. We stayed off the strip at the Orleans. We spent time shopping, walking, visiting with friends, eating, and enjoying the beautiful weather. (not in any particular order) We went to the Lion King production. It was fabulous and I would recommend it to everyone. We went to the show, Legends in Concert and enjoyed some of the good oldies. We went bowling and Ron won as usual. We went to the theater movie, Dear John. As most of you know, Ron and I don't go to movies very often so this was a fun day. We also went on a tour at Ethel's Chocolate Factory and the Botanical Gardens. We enjoyed a session at the Las Vegas Temple and I had a sisters' name from Brazil. It took 9 hours to get to Vegas from Idaho Falls. We also enjoyed two trips to In 'N' Out Burger and two trips to the buffet at the Orleans. We were even able to take advantage of the senior discount (50 plus).



The snow is finally starting to melt in Idaho Falls! Spring is coming!! yeah



It is a big birthday month for the Nelson's.

Happy Birthday!!

April, Wendy, Ronda, John, and Brian.
