Singles Events and more

So I wanted to give Patricia and opportunity to go to some LDS single's events while she was here. After two in one week, I have decided to take some extended time off from these. :) In this photo, we had just finished watching a girl in her 40's jump into the middle of the "dance circle" to do the splits. We had to look away as her jeans didn't cover everything if you know what I mean. She just happened to come and stand by me after her show and I admit I was in a bit of shock as I said, "Wow how did you do that?" She told me, "It's easy. You could do it too. Watch this!" She lifted her leg over her head. Lost her balance. The guy behind her was in a wheel chair. He gave me that look of...HELP ME!!!! I lunged over. Luckily, she caught her balance and disaster was avoided.
This is Erik. Patricia met him at the event. He took her out on a date the next night and they had a great time. We played Apples to Apples at the singles event. Yes if you ever think you are having a bad day. Just think, you could be playing board games at the church mid-lds-singles event on the weekend.
Our first event was lunch at Macaroni Grill. The first half an hour was rough but it got better by the end. The best part of the lunch was when a cute, blond, tall guy walked in and a girl sitting at the opposite table on the other end, jumped up, and ran about 20 seats to sit by him. There was no chair, there was no space. She grabbed a chair and made space. She was clear on her intentions and was going to get that seat. I am not exaggerating and if you don't beleive me, Patricia will reenact it for you.
PF Changs with Terra. We had a great meal and a great time chatting in English and Portuguese.
Thanksgiving Point. They had free fudge tastes testers. Snickers Fudge...YUM!

Las Vegas with Patricia

We stayed with Coco. She was my companion in Cocaia and knew Patricia and her family. It was so great to catch up and see her beautiful home and family. Watching her mother was truly inspiring!
We watched the Opera show at the Venitian.
We went to Cirque de Soliel at Treasure Island. It really was quite a show. My favorite part was watching the two guys do there amazing stunts. Watching them hold positions where they were suspended in the air just using their abs was beyond my imagination!
Taking one of our over 400 pics of the trip. Patricia got a new camera before we left and loves to take pictures! I don't know how I limited it to 5 pictures?
Dinner with Coco and her family at Hamada. A Japanese restaurant like Beni Hana. She requested a certain chef who was the best I have ever seen. I has just been pulled over by a cop for not putting on my right turn signal and somehow got off without a ticket.

Sundance

Patricia came to visit us from Brazil. We took her to Sundance to see snow for the first time.
Everybody played and jumped in the snow. The boys got a $5.00 after school snack at the Sundance grill. :)
Gavin is obsessed with Water Falls lately. So we took a walk and followed the river and water falls.
Stopped by the grocery store and Logan persisted that he could fit in the car cart. He did indeed fit. However, after a few minutes of trying to get out...we agreed that would be our last time. :)
Logan the Lego builder. He built this ship last weekend during conference with a little help from Livi and Emma. I was thrilled on so many levels. First, it kept him quiet and busy. Second, it was nice to see him create his own $100.00 Lego kit. Sometimes I look at that Lego Bin and think how many hundreds of dollars of Lego Kits are in there anyway??? and Third, because he was so happy to create and play.
