Hans had his first day of kindgarten. I was sad to miss seeing him get on the bus! I started school a week earlier. It was a trying week and I realized how I love being home!

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!

The luxor freaked me out a little. It is cool but I don’t think I would stay there.

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!

The girls all went to the paris hotel to eat and then out shopping!

Published with Blogger-droid v1.7.4

We went dancing to an 80s band, frank mareno, and dueling pianos. We didn't wake till right about noon.
