Vegas Baby!

So every year around this time we get the perk of meeting up with Ben's parents in Vegas. His dad works in the movie industry and attends a huge film festival each year with popcorn and candy bliss. Although this year Ben couldn't take time off work for the festival part, we did meet up the weekend before for lots of food, fun and sun!

First things first, I totally wore Braelyn out before our road trip by taking her to the neighborhood pool. My plan worked! She slept for two solid hours. Boo yeah!

And when she awoke, we entertained her with the biggest Rice Krispies Treat we could find at the gas station. Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Once in Vegas we had to check out the beautiful arboretum at the Belagio hotel. Once again, they really impressed!

Smelling the flowers.

This girl LOVED being with her grandparents! They sure do spoil her rotten!

The second night we were there Ben's parents send us out on a date night to see Elvis Cirque de Soleil. It was amazing just like the other shows we've seen.

This was the best shot we could get. Oh well. I promise we were there!

Quick question: Is there anything wrong with stripping your child down to their underwear in public to eat an ice cream cone . . .

. . . or to sit by the side of the pool after dinner? Please say no because that's exactly what we did!

We did actually put our swimsuits on the next day and played in the pool. It was a blast! Braelyn sure has turned into a little fishy . . . well one that doesn't like to get her hair wet. Maybe she gets that from her mama!

And finally on our trip back home we ran into this disaster. A semi crashed and was on fire in the middle of the only road back home. But alas, the firemen came to the rescue and we were on the road again! What a wonderful time in Vegas. Until next year!
