Vegas Vegas Vegas

Because my sister's wedding date changed after I bought the ticket to fly into Vegas and drive to St. George I was stuck with a non refundable ticket to Las Vegas. Instead of crying over a lost large sum of money I turned it into a sister (Arianna & Brittney) Vegas Vacation :) we had a BLAST!!!

Day ONE: its really day two because my fight was so late I left from Eugene to San Diego to Vegas. I really don't much like flying because it stresses me out. I am always worried I'll miss my flight I stress if I am not there 2 hours before and then end up sitting by my gate even if I have to go to the bathroom in case someone takes my seat. SOO I was glad to have made it in Vegas. We stayed in the stratosphere, furthest from the strip but on the strip but nice rooms. I stayed up till 4 am watching TV :)



Day TWO: Wake up at the crack of dawn and can't go back to sleep so I get everyone else up and we start our VEGAS VACATION. We actually went to the Vegas Temple and did some baptisms it was fun we were the only ones there. THEN we walked down the strip and stop at the Circus Circus we saw some amazing acts and took lots of goofy pictures. We did more site seeing down the strip and realized we should have drove closer. By the end of the day we had at least put in 8 miles of walking at least we had common sense and didn't wear heels like some of the crazies.



Day THREE: We drive half way down the strip and do more site seeing we went to the M&M factory and saw some shows and the TAWNY SCRAWNY LION...Okay it wasn't really him but we did see the lion at the MGM grand. We also took a 'magic carpet ride' which was hilarious, I'll have to try to find a way to post it.
Day FOUR: we we're pretty much DEAD our feet and backs killed, we had been going going and we were almost gone so we slept in and spent a lazy day in the hotel booked a show 'Cique du Soleil' (Serk-Doo-Solay) 'KA' performance its french and the tickets arn't very cheap but IT WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!!! I wish I could put into words how amazing it was because it was Awesome. I would never take Lydon to Vegas because I know he'd hate it, there is a ton of sleaze and junk but I would blind fold him and take him to the show we saw I loved it and was in aww the whole time.


Day FIVE: We go to church and then get some food and go to a park and play killer bunnies (we played this game all the time I pretty much won 75% of the time)till its our time to fly home (Ari that crazy girl slept in the airport till her morning flight). I had an amazing time with my sisters even though the estrogen can run a little high with 3 females it was a blast and I got some time to myself and re-boost for a happier mom and wife :) my flight home was a little crazy running from flight to flight back home but it was nice to be there. Amelia was smiling ear to ear when she saw me just pointed and laughed and ran to give me a big hug :) and my awesome husband who cooked cleaned and had everything ready for my return.
While I was gone: Amelia stayed with Alexis her 'other mom' she loves it there! When Lydon went to church and she saw Alexis she started crying for her (too cute)!! AND Poor Amelia got sick :( Luckily daddy was able to stay home on Saturday and just have a sick day.
