Let's take another look at the first line of this post. Wait...did I really do that?
Yes. I'm almost 28.
And party I did.
Let's. Rewind.
Saturday, KC took off for a guys weekend in Lava Hot Springs with his soccer team. So I was flyin' solo.
I had my cousin's daughter's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese:
This little girl is a princess. Seriously, you've never seen a 5 year old get so excited about clothing/shoes. In fact, they can't put her in "time out". It does nothing. Rather, they put her boots/shoes in "time out". She then behaves.
Girly girl. Down to the manicure. [Yep, she gets manicures....her nails look better than mine, which isn't saying much. But, she's freakin' adorable.]
Any who, as the party was concluding, my cousins informed me they were going to Wendover for the night.
Before I knew it, I was in the back seat of my cousin's rental car driving west.
Totally spur of the moment. I had no clothes, makeup, toothbrush for the next day. All I had was my purse and a pair of PJs my cousin loaned me. Little did we know, I wouldn't really have much of a need for the PJs.
I don't know how to explain much of the rest of the night. Too much to relay. Too much insanity.
[Let me point out this was the cousin that visited me last year in MA and the trip resulted in a pierced nose...you getting the idea....LOVE this cousin....LOVE HER!]

As we are gambling, things are just getting crazier and funnier as the night progresses. Around 3am, we see 4 slot machines together and decide we are all going to take the machines. [Note the place was packed. It was hard to find a single machine. These 4 were a gold mine.]
We sit down at the machines and bam!...J hits a $93.00 spin.
Hi-5s all around.
Then things on the machines get slow and so we decide to rotate machines. E'rebody to the right!
L gets a big spin. $60 or so.
We rotate machines again.
B gets a big spin.
We rotate machines again.
By now, people are stopping by our machines to see what's up. We were making some noise [To lightly put it].
I am now at some Alien machine with L to my right. She jokingly says, "I'm going to do 'Max Bet'". I say..."Well, then, I AM GOING TO DO MAX BET!!". We agree to it. We count down, "1-2-3, max bet!"
Bonus!
I seriously hit a bonus round on a max bet....no joke.
We were freakin' out!
More people start gather. I've now got a crowd of people watching the free spins rack up the dollars.
K, so I ended up not winning nearly as much as it sounded like I was. The bonus round totaled to $128. But, it was the biggest spin of the night for our group.
As we went on, we were on a roll. We probably sat at those machines for an hour and with every rotation of machines, someone was getting a big win.
Probably. Will. NEVER. Happen. Again.
But the night continued that way.
I hit another $100 spin later that night (aka - early that morning). This time we took a pic:
When we realized it was 5:30am, we stopped at the casino cafe for breakfast. What happened at that table, stays at that table...right, girls? Haha.
Anyway, most fun I've ever had in a casino.
Becky and I danced. We ran around...winning. And just laughed all night long.
We finally crashed at 7am, slept 'til noon, and then drove home.
I left 'up' by $140. The only time I've left a casino winning.
It just doesn't happen.
But the moral of this story. I have THE coolest cousins (and aunt). Go ahead, be jealous.
Thanks girls, for a party rocking good time.
BEST NIGHT!!!
