We had our first annual Bodell cousin's retreat in Las Vegas and we had such a fabulous time. We headed to Vegas a day early and got to spend our first night in the fancy Marriott Cosmopolitan Hotel right next to the Bilagio (thanks to our favorite Marriott Associates!). It was so nice and had a really great breakfast buffet and pool. The boys loved the pool because it was so shallow they could sit and crawl around in it. We liked it so much we snuck in again the next day after switching hotels.
We had great classes, made cute crafts, did facials and pedicures, ate good food, had a crazy hat party, and had lots of time for catching up with each other. We even had my aunt serving a mission in Africa join us through skype for some of the festivities. We had a Dr. Seuss baby shower for my cute sister-in-law Becca and played a very competitive game of "Name that Seuss Book" (picture four people pushing each other to try to get to the chair and steal the hat so that they could answer the question).
Did I mention we enjoyed lots of good food? Especially chocolate. Charise taught us how to make great carmel chocolate apples like they do at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. We also went to a restaurant devoted to chocolate called "Chocolate By the Bald Man" where we had pure chocolate shots, chocolate ranch dressing, and fries dusted with cocoa powder. Delicious.
What a great trip! Can't wait to do it again next year!
