We had a great time!

Las Vegas was a lot of fun! We arrived early Friday morning and wandered around all day. We visited the Bellagio for one of our favorite pasttimes...people watching. There is this great little cafe seating area right by their pool entrance that provides the best people watching experience. I know that sounds really weird, but it is one of our stops everytime we visit Vegas.


One of my favorites things about the Bellagio is their seasonal conservatory decorations. The theme this time didn't rank anywhere near the top, but it was still fun. There was a mini Bellagio replica that was actually really neat.

Here is Rob posing in front of the Mt. Rushmore mini replica they had. I thought that these bears were kind of fun looking. They change their decorations seasonally and they are always really original looking. The winter decorations are always my favorites!

Friday night we went to a Cirque du Soleil show at the NY NY called Zumanity. It was such a disappointment! We have seen a couple of the Cirque shows and thought we knew what to expect, but this was far from what we had in mind. We were really bummed because this was the only opportunity we would have to see a show and it was as waste. On Saturday we were lazy and laid around all morning until Jason came and picked us up.

We got to play with the kids for a few hours. Here is a picture of Rob with Parker. Rob keeps saying that he doesn't like little babies, but that is so not true! I had to fight with him to get some Parker time of my own. He is such a happy, smiley red-headed baby.

Apparently I am not very photogenic, as this is the best picture of me that I could find from our whole trip....and Macee is the one that took it. Those short arms make for quite the close up when the photographer is only four! As I was searching through the handful of pictures we took looking for one of me to post I came to the realization that I REALLY don't do well in the heat...I look terrible! I am way too embarassed to post the evidence, so you will all have to believe me...it isn't pretty!

That same night we attended a Ultimate Fighting Champion party with Jason and Courtney. Jason is quite into it, which I found a little surprising. It certainly was entertaining to see how into it the rest of the guys were too. Luckily I was able to sneak into the other room with the girls and chat with all of the fight noise in the background. We had a great time with Jason and Courtney...they are a lot of fun to be around. Too bad were aren't able to see them more often.
