We took the kids to Vegas this weekend and you know what I discovered??? I don't really like Las Vegas very well!!! Especially not when the kids are with me. There just isn't much to do to entertain the kiddies. We figured we'd just lay by the pool most of Saturday but the pool turned out to be freezing cold!!! Heated pool my BUTT!!! The kids didn't last more than 15 minutes before they wanted to get out and get wrapped up in a towel. We ended up seeing a movie, shopping and eating. All things that we like to do down in Vegas but without whiney kids! Both kids hadn't napped in DAYS so they were cranky most of the weekend which made me cranky as well. Needless to say, I drank A LOT of Pepsi to help calm the raging headaches! At least the kids did well on the long drives. And finally on the way home yesterday they both fell asleep for at least 30 minutes. Which is a lifetime in the Higham house! There wasn't much to take pictures of, but I did snap these......
A few other gems I discovered this weekend:
1. My kids are too big and old for their blow up mattresses.
2. Samantha likes to cuddle when she sleeps.
3. Samantha likes to KICK me in the back in her sleep.
4. Alex likes to cuddle in his sleep.
5. Alex likes to FLAIL his arms about in his sleep.
6. I don't sleep well with my kids in the bed.
7. The drive from St. George to Vegas is longer than the drive from my house to St. George.
8. Del Taco strawberry shakes are THE BOMB!
9. Most people don't go to bed at 7 pm in Las Vegas like we did.
10. Bless you Gavin and Stacey!!!! (Don't know about Gavin and Stacey? Check out BBC.)
