A FANTASTIC & FUN WEEKEND!

The kids were here for the weekend and they brought Riyoko's mom, Osako, and dad, Hiroshi who are so much fun and wonderful, kind people!  Hiroshi is a hoot and just loves to tease, especially Cory!

They arrived about noon on Friday and the Tanaka's  stayed at the MGM so they could get up and gamble and they won which makes it even better.  That evening we went to dinner at Stacked at the Mirage which was excellent and then off to "Love", a tribute to the Beatles which was very -  I was surprised.  Then it was off to the MGM to meet Kenji, Cory's good friend thru school and Kenji and his family recently moved back to Vegas from MS.  Kenji is now VP of Operations at the Primm Hotels.

The next day, Cory and Riyoko took me to see "The Help" which is the movie that Cory worked on in MS for six months and if you haven't seen it, you must and you will never look at chocolate pie in the same way.  We did have lunch at the Cracked Egg which was excellent - you must try it.  That evening I cooked and made a Beef Tenderloin, a salad with Fuji's ginger salad dressing, Miso soup (for the Tanaka's and the kids, Dick and I don't care for it), Roasted Potatoes in my NuWave,  and Spinach with Lime zest.  We had hot fudge sundaes with home made hot fudge for dessert.

On Sunday, before they left, we went to the Paris Hotel for Brunch which did look delicious but I was so sick to my tummy, I hardly ate anything and preceded to get sick in the car - aren't I lots of fun. 

We then got home and they packed up the car and the dogs and off to California they went.  I'm glad we were able to see the Tanaka's now 'cause for Thanksgiving (when we normally see them in LA), they are going to Japan to see Riyoko's sister, Yoko.

These pictures are of Hiroshi, Osako, Riyoko and her dad and, of course, Cory, who will never let me take a decent picture of him!

Fun was had by all!
