Vegas

 We (Lace and Jax) took a little trip to Vegas where we met up with Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Ed.  We had  such a great time!  It was such a needed, enjoyable get-away.  We both enjoyed the swimming, going out to eat, Jabbawokees show, and just hanging out.  I love just hanging out with my peeps.  It's delightful!....and makes me a little homesick just thinking about it. 

On with the report: 

 We walked around the Belagio one afternoon and were amazed at the artsy flower arrangements.  Now I want to be a Florist.  (Kimi--when are we starting up our business???)  We even talked to some arrangers for a minute.  They re-do the arrangements every few days.  It sounds like a cool job to me but maybe you would get sick of it if you were doing it ALL THE TIME.  I'm not sure.  Their creations were really cool!   

 We were also amazed by this bakery/shop inside of the Belagio.  Look at this woman made of chocolate!  ORNATE is the best word I can come up with for these little treats and cakes.  (Ornate is one of my mom's favorite words too so it's perfect!) I bet they tasted as good as they looked too!  Now we officially have an entire wedding planned with the flowers and the treats...no one is getting married at the moment but we are prepared when the time comes.  :)

 The summer-themed flower garden was also picture-worthy.  We loved the flags along with the upside down umbrellas.  Who dreams up these things??!!  Creative. 

        This is the view from outside our window.  We thought it looked just like "The Capitol" from Hunger Games.  (It did!!!)  

And...some of the people in Vegas looked "Captiol-ish" as well.

 We went swimming a couple of times.  Jax loves swimming.  He loves to splash his hands in the water. These are pictures of the mini-zoo inside of the Mirage.  

We met up with Diane and Chris, Tishelle, and Kiddos for a few hours. (Thanks again for making the drive down.  And thanks Tishelle's mom for letting them borrow your SUV). There are dolphins behind us, if you cant tell.  They did a few jumps out of the water. Just like Sea World! 

 Above: The little boy cousins together.  I have to add in that at one point, Cameron had Jax laughing almost to the point of tears by jumping and throwing a paper up in the air about 50 times.  Simple Pleasures.   

Below: These white tigers were cool too!

Rrrroooaaaarrrrr!  

Extra things:  

-We went shopping at ROSS...twice... and spent a lot of money on some mega-cute items.

-My mom bought a CD from a street-rapper.  She's so nice.  Way to encourage the arts and music, Mom! ;)

-Why are there no pictures of Dad?  He was there too.  Or Diane?  She was there too.  (Because I didn't take my camera and these are just a few Smartphone pics from the Smartpeople)

-What are Mormons with young children doing in Vegas?  Just hanging out.  Clean fun only.

Thanks for the fun visit, all of you!
