What can I say about brie? She is tough and determined. She could careless her knees are bleeding. The only time she cried was when I put the bandages on. I wonder what is going on in her mind.

Brie pretty much played in every puddle at the state fair. She loves water as much as me!

We have been to pretty much every hotel on the strip. We determined mandalay bay is the best to go to if you have a family. They have the beach, a wave pool, and the lazy river. If you want something more private the signature is nice. If you want a great view of the fountains the cosmo is best. The only one we have yet to go to is planet hollywood. Oh ya and great food the bay or paris, and for a view the fountain room, paris or stratosphere.

The reason the idea of vegas got started was to go to see celine. Kirsten always wanted to. She is a huge fan!
