Vegas Baby!

Emma and I went to Las Vegas to visit my fabulous sisters Allison and Melanie, we got back a couple of weeks ago but I am a little slow to blog it. We had such a fun time! We flew there and Emma did quite well on the plane. On the way to Vegas I had to be patted down at airport security, so retarded, they eventually decided it was the underwire in my bra! We stayed the first two nights and Mel's and the second two at Allie's. They were both so hospitable! It was so much fun to just get to spend time with them and their adorable families, you know, see those cute kids in their own elements. They are all such sweethearts and for the most part they all got along.

Emma loved playing with all the new exciting toys, she was totally entertained. Here are her and Eliza playing princesses.

The first evening there we went to this Pumpkin Patch by Mel's house. The kids rode rides, played in jump/bounce houses, ate cotton candy, did a straw bale maze, and even took a Pony Ride. Afterwards we went to dinner at In & Out.

Notice how filthy Emma's hands are. Vegas is DIRTY!

On the second day we went to the Springs Preserve and played in the gardens and the playground. We had a picnic, it was fun but I didn't take any pics. Did I mention that both Allie and I had horrible colds during the trip, we weren't really ourselves.

On the third day we went to the "dizzy park" by Allie's house. We walked there and also went to this cute candy store by her house and Emma picked out a gigantic sucker that she took like 10 licks of and then was done.

The Nigburs have a Wii, and I had so much fun playing with their Wii Fitness, after I created my own Mii I got wicked good at ski jumping! But I lost everything else but it was still fun.

Oh, I forgot to mention the story about losing my wedding ring! I lost it at Mel's house, I left it on my bedside table and when I was packing up it was gone! I was freaking out! We are pretty sure that someone little hands took off with it. We asked all the kids about it but you know the kinds of answers you get from toddlers. We went through the trash, looked everywhere in her house and even checked Luke's poop for it. Finally we gave up and thought maybe later with a clearer head we would have more luck. Well needless to say I was a wreck. But late that night Mel called me while I was playing 4-mation with Keith and Allie and said she found it! It was in a box in the room I was staying in, I was so relieved, and so was she. A Happy Ending Hooray!

On the last night there in good old Vegas, Keith watched the kids while Allie and I went to this new seafood place by her house. Nice guy right! We had a great time, even though Emma only napped 2 out of 4 days and woke up crying in the middle of the night 2 out of 4 nights we still had a fabulous time. Thanks my Vegas-ites for being my best friends, I love ya and miss ya!

Below are some hilarious videos of the kids at the dizzy park. Don't think we are bad parents we were just in need of some entertainment.
