Tyler's 21st Birthday
Sunday, June 23, 2024
This is it! Tyler is 21! To celebrate his birthday this year we ate dinner at Sizzling Lunch in Cupertino. No one is ever disappointed after eating there. After dinner we returned home to open gifts
and eat birthday cake. It was a small affair since it was a Sunday and everyone (except Dad) had to work the next day. Still, he got some really nice gifts and the Baskin Robbins Polar Pizza Birthday Cake
was excellent!

To celebrate Tyler turning 21 in style, the family took a trip to Las Vegas with Grandma & Grandpa Higa, Uncle Derek & Aunty Lara, and Aunty Kathy. Uncle Derek got us all rooms at the Planet Hollywood
Resort & Casino. Everyone gave Tyler some cash to play, and Grandpa, Uncle Derek, and Aunty Lara taught Tyler how to play craps, pai gow poker, and black jack. Mom even took him to the Paris Las Vegas
to partake of adult beverages. Also, a basketball podcast Tyler regularly tunes into, Numbers on the Board, happened to be in Las Vegas during the
NBA Summer League. He and Jordyn made their way down the Strip to Brad Garrett's Comedy Club to sit in on the live broadcast. Everyone had a great time gambling (except Connor), shopping, and eating.
Oh, and by the way, it was incredibly hot in Las Vegas with temps regularly topping 110°!
