the art of people-watching: las vegas edition!

So, we got home this afternoon from a whirlwind weekend spent in the very sunny and very hot Las Vegas, Nevada. I chose not to drag my camera and gear to restaurants and shows because it just didn't fit into any of my cute little clutch purses, but the time we spent at the pool on Saturday allowed for some very good people watching, and I did bring my camera just to see what I would come up with . . .

It's interesting to see what people read on the beach or by the pool . . .

Here we have what Carson called "posers." These guys stood up the entire time they were there so the ladies were sure to see their hot bods. Ha!

And this is the Las Vegas airport, gate D5, at 5:00 in the morning on a Sunday.

We had a very nice time, but of course terribly missed a couple certain someones . . .

Ava definitely grew at least two inches while we were gone!

And this little doll gave us her best guilt trip by cutting two teeth!

So it's back to the real world now, of $4 glasses of wine and $1.00 bottles of water. I am actually afraid to check the balance of our checking account but I need to be brave. I can't even begin to count how many purchases began with the phrase, "What the hell, we're in Vegas!"

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Sorry one more thing I think Alek and Stella are a perfect match. Have you seen my kids hair. It is just like Stella's in that picture. I have given up trying to tame it.......

They ARE a perfect match, I can't wait for them to meet! I'm glad you figured out your blog problem, it's very terrifying to deal with that, we are so dependent on our blogs! :) The girls spent the weekend with the woman who is the primary caregiver of Stella at day care. She's an angel, the girls were in such great care. Hope you guys are having a fabulous evening and making the best of your last week in NC!!
