Vegas, Baby

Jim's sister, Liz was graduating (YAHOO!) so we decided to use her graduation ceremony as an excuse to take a mini vacation and go down to Las Vegas.  Plus it was a perfect way to kick off the summer and the kids being out of school. 


While there we.....

Learned how to make really huge bubbles.  This was one of the smaller ones though:)  Of course right when there was a perfect big bubble I couldn't get my camera ready fast enough.

Got ready to work the pit  for the next Nascar race.



Did a little grocery shopping.

Saw an awesome frog made out of plants and flowers at the Bellagio.

Took in a little art.

Let a 4 year old take some pictures like this (above)
Or
take pictures of a 4 year old with a banana chip like this (below)

 as you try to keep them entertained during a 2 hour graduation ceremony.


Congratulate the graduate- Liz Higley

Look adorable!

It was a long and hard hike down to the
 bottom of the Hoover Dam to get this picture- but we did it! :)


One of Lizzie's main reasons for coming... to spend time with Kathryn and Mal (the kitties).
And here is how we felt about having to leave... 
How did the weekend go so quick? 
 I still have this ribbon to play with?


It was a great weekend with wonderful hosts! 
Thanks for graduating Liz and letting us share that with you!

That is an awesome picture of Hoover Dam and the whole family. Looks like a fun trip. Congrats to Liz for graduating!

It was so fun to have you all here! Kathryn and Mal went through attention withdrawls after you guys left; they got so spoiled! We had to confiscate the ribbon after a time because someone thought it was tasty. :) Can't wait til you can come again!
