HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBEKAH!

      Now 21!

Celebrating her birthday,

she and Jake invited Tom and I to go to the casino with them.

  It sure was loud and flashy for an afternoon! 

We all got complimentary card to start our play.  You use them like gift cards in the machines and it gives you rewards that way more or less.  Having gotten those, we didn't have to use our money at all.  To me, it was like playing computer games with virtual money.   No real money went in and none came out.  If you did want to cash out you would take it to a machine and scan the receipt just like when you get pictures made at Wal-Mart.  Another bonus for first timers is a discount on your food! We even got a chance to eat at the buffet. 
I thought it would be to late when we were done so I didn't make Rebekah her huge chocolate cake.  However,  her fiancé would not hear of not having ice cream at least so we stopped on the way home and picked up one small vanilla and one small chocolate cake with a tub of chocolate ice cream!
