Peace Out Wimps!

This morning we laughed so hard that my stomach started to hurt.

Something about Kari and I in a hotel room together brings out the funny in us (remember Jennie's wedding, another gut buster!).   

Mom woke up and proclaimed her need for ice.  She was having a good time but she just couldn't believe that Vegas doesn't have ice.  

WHAT?!  LOL- WHO IS THIS WOMAN?!

We informed her that you can get ice from the ice machine here just like at every other hotel in the country but she didn't look too convinced so Kari grabbed the ice bucket and headed out to prove that there was indeed ice in Vegas.  "Peace out wimps!"

Today we made our way to the other end of the strip.

We started at Paris and while Kim and Chris went running off to find a machine to play, Jennie, Kari and I went to explore.  We ended up finding mimosas and macaroons- YUM!

Next we were off to Planet Hollywood, the M&M store, MGM Grand, New York, New York, Excalibur, Luxor and Mandalay Bay.  Kari has to leave tonight :-(  She was nervous about leaving the boys with Grandpa Dan for too long.  I am not ready for her to leave tonight.

When we got to MGM Grand I told Kari we needed to go and see the lions.  I always liked to see them when we were here, it was intriguing to think that they lived inside of a casino and had thousands of people starring at them each day.

We walked around and around with no luck of finding them.  Sure, the hotel had been changed around and remodeled but I swear this is right where they used to be!

Well, I guess this guy will have to do.  I thought they used to be more active...

We finally ended up asking and finding out that the lions are no longer in the casino and were moved to a habitat ranch about 10 miles away.

Tonight we had dinner at Margaritaville and waved to Kari as she hopped into a cab and rode away.
