2012 Girl's Trip to Vegas

Every once in a while the girls in Mat's family decide to take a trip together.  Getting 8 mothers together is no easy task. Thankfully Mat survived a week of call, work and kids as well as making a rhino which I'll post later.

Trip started off a little rocky when we ended up in N Las Vegas on the side of I-15.  Unfortunately, the lug nuts were not tight on our vehicle and after a trooper, a tow trucker and land rover personnel told us we were lucky to be alive, we reflected on our gratitude instantaneously.  True, our vehicle could have flipped and dove down the over pass we landed on, but it didn't and we'll take our other 8 lives, well I have 7 now (birth story) and run.

After picking up the rest of our party at the airport, it was time for the girl's just want to have fun to begin.

Here we see Heidi packing in a cooler.  It was the perfect size she said and from there on out she was on drugs after that.  She would be the life of the party and very contagious.

We shopped. For fabric. We have a lot of craftys in our family and at $3 a yd, you go crazy.

Then we shopped. For food. We get excited for grocery stores and fabric stores, but I feel everyone can appreciate a Trader Joes.  We happened to appreciate it 3X this trip.

That was a really nice checker by the way. I love nice checkers. Here are some favorites at Joes, Mango Granola and Peppermint Jo Jos. We also discovered triple ginger snaps, dried baby sweet pineapple, eggnog almonds, and chocolate covered dried cherries.

Heidi and I ran to get the last member of our party at the airport-Susie.  Mr grumpy pants traffic control was so insistent that we move (almost causing our 2nd wreck of the day) that I had to get a picture of him.  There he be in the background ALL smiles.

Tomorrow (hopefully) I'll share our favorite things and Jazzy Chair hits Sponge Bob.

Get the couch! After you buy a house it can fit in.
