VEGAS BABY!!!!!


Last weekend we went to visit our friends who live in Vegas. This is what they look like:
 
Their names are Brad and Annie Mills. Normally they live near us but during baseball season they live in Vegas cause Brad plays AAA baseball for the Las Vegas 51’s. We miss them when they are gone so we just had to go visit. 
We did a good amount of relaxing and watched a baseball game every night we were there. It turned out that we did not make it down to the strip. One day we drove north about an hour to Amargosa Valley. Amargosa is where Kyle’s family lived when he was born because his dad was an alfalfa farmer there for 12 years.  I knew Amargosa was remote but I had no idea what to expect… The dear Foxes used to live here in this very double wide:
 
It did not look quite like that 20 years ago when they lived there, there was a little bit less rust I am sure.
Kyle’s old man farmed this very field:
 
I am sure it was even greener when Bob was farming it.

This is the sign that Kyle's Dad put up when they first moved there. 

We stopped by to see some old family friends while we were there as well. It was a blessing to see them and sit and talk with them about their lives.

We love baseball and got to watch three games while we were there and the 51’s won them all. On Saturday Brad was the starting pitcher and did an awesome job.


The Mills took us to one of their favorite restaurants and we had the best wings and stromboli ever! We are blessed to have such good friends like the Mills, they are an encouragement to us and are really funny so that is a plus too.
