A Renewal...

...of vows that is! Yesterday we had the pleasure of participating in the Seneca Niagara Casino's attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest vow renewal ceremony! It was in Niagara Falls, and my awesome friend Erika stepped up to the plate when we couldn't find a sitter and almost had to miss the event. She brought her little boy and they had a great day hanging out with my two crazy chitlins.

This is actually our SECOND vow renewal, so that means we have now been married 3 times!! Haha, we'll probably do it again somewhere amazing in 5yrs for our 20th anniversary.

The casino is ridiculously huge, but the event was pretty well organized considered how many thousands of people were there. They did not actually end up breaking the record (which is 1201 couples) unfortunately. It was still a fun time! It was held out front of the casino and afterward we had dessert, champagne, and a free buffet inside! You know I love my free food.

While in line, we saw a guy there who we thought for a minute was John Popper from Blues Travelers. We were waiting for him to bust out a harmonica.

In between things we had some time to kill, so I figured why not play some slots? We each took $10 and hit the penny slots. I of course won nothing....however Nicholas was much more lucky! On only his second time in a casino ever, he put in $5 and within a few minutes--on a PENNY slot mind you--he cashed out at $425!!!!! I was losing my mind I couldn't believe it. He did end up playing off $25 of it, but he walked away with $400 cash money. Yeah baby!

Erika sent me pics throughout the evening of the kiddos having a blast. The rain had cleared up enough for them to play outside. They had pizza for dinner, watched a movie with popcorn, and had some leftover birthday cake for dessert. We all had a fun day!

Today we dropped Brad off at his first ever summer camp! I'll post pics on my next blog when we pick him up on Saturday.
