I don't know if you can see it, but James is standing in front of our bag of gross laundry. A trip to the laundry mat occurred later in the day. Not pictured.
We stayed at the Planet Hollywood Hotel. It was in a pretty good location. It was attached to a mall and we spend the morning walking around inside. Yes, we had to go back inside. Here was the magic shop. It was a favorite.
When we told the kids we were going to a place called Las Vegas, we explained that Las Vegas was where a lot of grown ups went to go crazy. Andy asked, " you mean eat ice cream at the wrong time?" When in Vegas...
My poor kids though. It was a bad digestive night and I'm afraid they weren't into being so crazy. After walking around, we headed to do some errands (including laundry). We came back and I took the kids to the pool. Has anyone been to a pool in Vegas? It was very MTV. I felt very uncomfortable, but the kids didn't seem to notice:
Yes, they were feeling better. The one thing we had planned was a magic show. The number one rated thing to do is the Armando Vera up close magic show. Signing up for it was weird. You had to sign up for the Nate Burton show and then got it for free. We weren't really sure if the kids could handle it, but decided to try it out. It was AMAZING! So glad we went. For this show, it was about 30 people and the magic was all slight of hand tricks. The kids really wanted to get picked to help out but they didn't. After it was over, onto the Nate Burton show. This was more of a Vegas show. And again it was pretty cool, more over the top stuff. About this time Andy got kind of tired and crawled on my lap. He wanted to leave even though I bought him a $9 ginger ale I kid you not. The cup flashed different colors so I guess that is something. They mention they are going to pick a kid from the audience. James went CRAZY. I whisper to him to calm down and hold his hand up thinking it would make him more appealing. They pick Andy. Andy who was sitting on my lap goes in front of this audience of like 500 people. On to the stage. Here is the trick. They were going to read his mind. They put a blank chalkboard hanging from some rope and cover it with a sheet. Andy is on stage. Says his name. They ask him to pick between 2 show girls to go on a date with: a blond and a brunette. He picked the blond. There you go, Andy has a type. He picked the blonde. No hesitation. Have you seen his 2nd teacher? Yeah, he has a type. They ask where he would take her to dinner. Again, no hesitation. Pizza Huuuuuuut. Said just like that. At this point, Andy realized that there were a lot of people watching him and he started to loose it just bit. They asked what move he would take her to see. I think he didn't want to take her to see a movie. He would rather play Wii Lego Star Wars. At the very end they asked if she asked him to get married, what would he say? well, he would say "yes". They dropped the sheet and it had all the answers he said.
The show was almost over at this point and then both the kids kind of lost it. James because he didn't get picked, and Andy because he did. We did kind of take a vow never to speak of this again, but I had to record it. It was too funny. And I can't believe they picked Andy. I mean, he was sitting on my lap!
After the show we walked the strip a bit and got dinner, then back to bed. Gosh, for taking it easy, we sure did a lot!
