A Vegas Adventure

Phewww, I'm back! We had a fun weekend. I'm glad we decided not to make any plans this time..just relax- because it's easy to become overwhelmed with everything Vegas has to offer! There's way too much stuff to do or see than we'd ever get to accomplish in one visit...or several! We did go to one show on Friday night- Criss Angel..he's an illusionist. I love his TV show, Mind Freak, so I figured the Vegas production would be awesome...but we left the theater disappointed. First of all, he thinks he's God's gift to women...very arrogant and annoying. And there really wasn't much magic in the show....he disappeared a few times, got cut in half, levitated...but puuleasse! Gimme more...it's Vegas, baby! His only saving grace was that Circ de Soleil was involved too, and the dancing was AMAZING. Saturday, we just walked around...went and saw the Lions at MGM Grand, and that evening we saw the Sirens of Treasure Island. Treasure Island is one of the hotel/casinos on the strip and they have a free nightly show outside with pirates and explosions and scantily clad ladies. Fun stuff.
Yesterday was the day that would never end. Chad dropped me off at the airport in Vegas at 8:30 am....my flight left at 10am. I had a layover in Chicago that was delayed forever and when we finally did board the plane, it was totally packed. I chose a window seat, like usual, and the guy who sat beside me ended up falling asleep before the plane even took off ( we were stuck on the tarmac for an eternity waiting to take off). So, as he nodded off, his head gradually got closer and closer to me until I was sure he was going to take a snooze on my shoulder. I crammed myself as close to the window as I could and every time his head would touch my shoulder I would make some jerky movement to wake him up....ugggh...what an uncomfortable situation. Get a pillow, dude. So I finally got home last night near 11pm...after over 12 hours of traveling...arg!
Needless to say, I'm glad to be home. Of course I missed the girls, but I didn't know quite how much I missed them until I saw them this morning. Is it possible that Sadie grew 3 inches in the couple days I was gone?? She looked huge to me this morning when I got her out of her crib! And when I went to get Hannah, she demanded to know where her Mom Mom was...until she realized that I brought her gifts, then she was happy to see me :) Mom had a good weekend with the girls, though I know she'll be catching up on her lost sleep this week. Chad's still in Vegas until Friday...I think this is the longest he's ever been away from the us..over a week! I'll be glad to see him.
So, I didn't take many picture at all this weekend. Here are a few.
These are the adorable residents of the Lion Habitat in MGM Grand. They were napping. Cute!
I thought this was the coolest thing ever. A television inside our bathroom mirror! Okay, I realize that makes me sound like a total hick...but it really doesn't take much to impress me.
And this is us in the casino in the Luxur. We were waiting for the Criss Angel show and the casino was so smoky, we could hardly breathe. We had to sit down so we wouldn't pass out-lol!
