Vegas for Addie's Birthday!







Thursday afternoon me, mom, Addie, Grandma Jane, Annie and Kristi left for Vegas to celebrate Addie's 21st Birthday! We all had a really good time and kept really busy. Taking Addie anywhere means you have constant entertainment. There was one point where we were sitting on the plane waiting to take off and Addie turned to me, serious as can be and asked me if we had taken off yet... I told her to look out the window because we were still on the ground.
The first night we got in we stayed at our hotel (The Orleans) and had dinner and played the slots. I was a little tired so I went to bed earlier than everyone else... hours later mom and Addie came into the room skipping singing "I Like Big Butts"... I knew it would be a long weekend. But surprisingly that was the worst that it got.
Friday we spent the day on the strip trying to show Addie as many places as we could in the short time that we were there. I dont think that she had any idea what it would be like. We ate lunch at Toby Keith's I Love his Bar at Harrah's then hit some more Casinos. Then we went back to the hotel to change into our costumes! I was Dorothy, Addie a go-go dancer, Grandma Jane a witch, Kristi was a gypsy and mom a cat. We ate dinner then we were off to AMERICAN STORM at the Stratosphere. Ha! Addie was a little nervous to see her first "male" show and spent the first 10 minutes with her hands over her eyes. It didnt take them long to learn it was her Birthday so she got picked on quite a lot. They even called her up for a lap dance contest with two other women.... needless to say she won! We were all SHOCKED that Addie could give a lap dance like that. But it was Annie who got all the attention, she even got a kiss right on the lips from the hottest one there! She's so lucky :)
Saturday we headed back to the strip for some more fun and a heated community monopoly game at Shea's! We had dinner at the nice restaurant at our hotel then it was nap time before the 10 o'clock Mama Mia show at Mandalay Bay. I've never seen so many guys dancing around in tights, but it was a good show.
Overall it was a great trip and I think Addie had a lot of fun. When I get some more pictures I'll be sure to post them.

I am so glad that you guys enjoyed all the fun. You all needed it. Plus it is always nice for some girl time away. Doesn't Dorothy have red shoes?

My red glittery shoes broke before I even got down the hallway at the hotel, so the black ones had to work.
