Vegas Baby

My mom and I took the girls to Las Vegas last week. We met up with the Bill's and the twins. Had a blast. We got there Wednesday afternoon and stayed at the Flamingo. That ninght we, the guys and my mom and I, went to the Elton John concert. OMG! It was great. No cameras were allowed so I didn't get any good pictures. But I tried with my phone and he looks like a little blob on the stage, lol. Throughout the concert there were videos playing on the screen, a different one for each song. I knew all but 3 songs and I think I was the youngest person there.

We also say Carrot Top at the concert. He has a show at the Luxor but I guess he decided that Elton was more entertaining.

Thursday we spent the whole day together. We went to Mandalay Bay's Shark Reef. The kids had a blast. My girls got to pet the rays and the horseshoe crabs. Penny tried her hardest to pet them but her arms were to short. Then we had lunch at their buffet. Dr. Bill met us during hos lunch break. Sooo much food, and it was good. We sat there for for about an hour and a half until we were all tired and needed a nap.

That afternoon the girls went swimming with the Bill's and the twins, I would have went but after two back to back pregnancies my body just wont fit into a swim suit. The pool was supposed to have been heated but the twins and the girls ended up purple after about 20 minutes. So we got out and headed back to our rooms. We decided to meet up for dinner at Rainforest Cafe so we could celebrate Trystan's birthday.

We got there and they immediately had a thunder storm. Rex was so excited. The animals were all going wild and he was copying them all. There were tons of kids there and may I say mine were the most well behaved. The group next to us actually let their kids run around climbing on things and picking eachother up. We ate our dinner and then had a volcano brownie for dessert. Trystan got to blow out the candle and they sang Happy Birthday to her. She opened her gift from the guys and a part of her gift from me. The night had come to an end and we all were exhausted.

Friday morning we met up for a goodbye breakfast. We had to make our way home and the guys were heading to Flagstaff to meet up with some friends. It was so great to see them. It had been 14 months since the last time we visited. They have gotten so big, but I guess that's what kids do.
