Las Vegas

Loren had a long weekend and decided to come visit us.  She has never been to Las Vegas so we decided to take her over there.  Loren and I have always wanted to do a ride on top of the Stratosphere and we were going to do it!  Will was not a fan of this plan.  He is terrified of heights and was fairly certain that we were going to die.  He would not even go up to the Stratosphere with us.  Loren and I paid for our tickets and went to give Will our wallet and we would not even speak to us, he was so unhappy about us going up.

I am not going to lie, I was ridicuoulsy scared when we got to the top.  Loren wanted to do the Rocket but I decided that I was too much of a chicken for that.  Instead, we decided to do Insanity. We were one of the first ones to get in our seats and had to sit for about ten minutes on the very edge while waiting for everyone else to get buckled in.  I thought I was going to throw up. We made friends with some other girls who where just as terrified as we where.  Once every one is in the ride slowly swings off the side of the building and you are can see your feet dangling above the city.  Then you start spinning.  Spinning really fast.  So fast that you entire body is facing down,looking at the far far away ground. I screamed for the majority of the time but towards the end I stopped freaking out and enjoyed the amazing view (we went at night so you could see all the lights).  Next time we go to Vegas I definitely want to do the other, more scary, rides.

We walked up and down the strip stopping at the M&M place, Bellagio, MGM, and Paris.  Then we went to Freemont street, ate dinner and slept while Will drove back.

I realize that I look like a boy in the majority of these pictures.  Haircut gone bad.  And of course my hair is not growing at its usual rapid pace so I will look like Peter Pan for a while.
Loren was at our house from Thursday to Tuesday.  It amazing having her here.  She entertained Addison, mopped my floor, cleaned rooms, and spent every night watching the Office with me.   I am still a little bit bitter we never played the board game I wanted to. I did learn that Will and Loren are oddly the same.  They both like the same super lame movies, argue with me the same and mock me the same.  Loren was the official baby washer.  One night Addi apparently thought she should not be done with her bath. As soon as Loren put her pajamas she ran and jumped back in the tub that was not quite drained.  She thought she was pretty funny.   Addi was sad to see her go because they played together all the time and Loren gives her anything she wants.
