The funny thing is, we went to Vegas and didn't take many pictures. Hmmm, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. No one has any proof of what we did. :D Most of it was pretty PG. We went to the M&M store for Giulia, played in an arcade without spending a single quarter (Giulia is still pretty easy to please). Mic and I had a date afternoon and went to the Bodies exibit at the Tropicana, which was amazing! It is truely a work of art to see the human body like that. It shows the amazing things that God can do. Things that we will never be able to figure out, no matter how hard we try. The baby room was a little hard. I found myself praying that all the babies were natural deaths as the sign said. It said the bodies were donated, but it is so easy to smear the line espcially when fetuses are concerned. We study the human body to learn more, I just hope we can find ways to do it while still respecting the gift that life is.
We stayed at the MGM and spent lots of great time with Giulia in front of the Lion habitat which is inside the MGM, she also really enjoyed the animated alligator by the Rain Forest cafe. As any good Las Vegas tourist we spent and evening walking the strip. We saw the Bellagio water show and Giulia loved all the lights, but I think her favorite was "the big treats." Yes, that would be the giant M&M's.
Christy and I got a girls night out and had a great dinner with lots of girly chit chat about babies, husbands, teaching and life in RC. Anthony joined us after to see Zummanity, the sensual side of Cirque du Soleil. I was ready for sexy dancing and knew their would be some nudity, but it was different than I thought. shjhjej (from Giulia) They had a commedy act that came in and split up the dances and it was a little crass, funny sometimes, but crass. I was amazed at the acrobatic feats and the dancing. The african tribal dance was amazing! The rope tricks were also a fav of mine. I would love to swing from the ceiling like that! I did enjoy the show and would love to go see another Cirque.
Since Vegas, we have been busy at home. My Dad spent a week in a wheel chair for some lock up in his lower back that prevented him from walking. My mother had to go down to the CCD congress by herself which got cut short because my brother in law Mike ended up in the hospital due to an absess tooth. He's on the mend and might be home today. It's been up and down and all over lately and I think all of us would just like a normal couple of weeks before Easter.
I am watching my neice Rachel now M-F and it's been great. She is such and easy going kid. She and Giulia get along great! Giulia enjoys acting like an older sibling which make me think she's needs one of her own soon. Now we just need Mic to stay home long enough to convince him. :D
Yes, he is off on another Bionicon road trip. Might be three days this week. In two weeks Bionicon is title sponsoring the Keysville Classic so he's pretty busy promoting it and getting his name into shops. I am a Bionicon widow for the next two weeks I fear. At least I get to keep busy cleaning our house to get ready for company and Easter.
Well, the girls are beggin me to take them to the park, so off we go. Love to you all and have a wonderful March!
lagb, Sum
