Vegas

Last weekend we took a little trip with some friends to visit Vegas. Our purposes were threefold:

1. Darren - to see the almighty Cougars rock the Mountain West Tournament (lost to UNLV in the championship game).

2. Stacie - to visit Lindsay Stoddard and have a little girl time with her and pal Jenny Covey in exchange for the hubbies' time at the tourney.

3. Boys - to see buddies Jake and Joe, to run like hooligans in an actual backyard (not a teensy front yard like ours), jump on the tramp, play the Wii 24/7, hang with the cute Covey girls, eat fast food, find fossils (roof tiles), and have unlimited access to the beloved Stoddard snack drawer.

It was a great time, and despite the hazards of taking kiddos to the strip ("Mom, did you see the innapropriate pictures? That girl had hardly any clothes on. We should write a letter and tell them to take them down." I think he's been listening to me too much. I get a little miffed by the barrage of billboards around LA. Anyone remember the "Nip/Tuck" ones? The creepy ones from the wax museum movie a couple years ago? I almost did write a letter about that one. ANYWAY! I digress . . . ) we couldn't resist the Bellagio fountains. They just don't get old. The Grove here in LA is a mini version, but it's still fun to see the scale of the spray. Too bad the garden was in transition and inaccessible.

It was so great to see you guys over the weekend Stace! Thanks for coming down. BTW, how come we didn't take ANY pictures? We must've been up to our eyeballs in kids, or just ignoring them...
Love and miss you!

It was a blast Linds. I wish I'd taken some pics. I suppose we'll always have our memories...and yeah, we were probably ignoring them. Or to spin it - they were so busy having fun they didn't need mommy to be the event planner. ;)
