Viva Las Vegas!


Last week we treated ourselves to a little get-away with the Adams Family! Oh what a great time we had. It's kind of our dream to live together so this was just a little trial run. I think it worked out pretty well! June and Ethan were so cute with Collin. We stayed up till about 3 am a couple of nights and laughed until we cried. (and yes I did include some of those nasty early morning pictures) We introduced Vegas to Aaron and I think he was pretty impressed...especially with Matthew's 'secret' Mexican Restaurant that we all loved so much! Thanks guys for all the fun memories! LOVED IT!

Oh WOW....that collage really brings a smile to my face! Some of my other favorite memories that I forgot to mention were our drawing 101 class at about 1:00 am the first night....I mean the way that you drew that bunny, you really brought it to life, and the patience you had w/ me to teach me how to make a perfect star...that really meant alot....another great memory was paying Ethan a dollar to not look at the ground when we walked the strip at night....and your experience in the Stratosphere bathroom w/ the woman that looked like a man that was really a woman and was being told by the security.janitor that "he" needed to get out of the woman's restroom...and although I've already mentioned it, I can't think of our Vegas trip without hearing the Siren's of T.I....."COME ON GIRLS"

Looks like you guys know how to do vegas right! How fun. And I don't understand Shell's comment "reminds me of me." whaaeet? And I do not like how she said "USED" to hang out with Kip so much. Not cool.

Megan - vegas looks fun, but I have to comment about kizzycakes comment - I'm not sure Matthew would appreciate you doing someone's husband. I'm guessing she is referring to a haircut, but it sounds a little - you know!

Abby Runyan said...

So fun. Totally jealous. And what the heck with the high tech collage stuff I want to know how to do that with the pics

Schmitz Family said...

Haven't checked on you guys in a while.. Happy 1st Collin!!! I can't believe how fast that went! Love her party dress!!!

Hess Fam said...

Lori,
No fear...'kizzycakes' is my sister and yes...I did her husband...'s hair! I know it sounded a little scandalous!
Abby,
Don't think I'm that fancy...Matthew just got Illustrator on our computer and that is the program I used to make the collage. I just didn't really want a million pictures that you had to scroll through...or I just didn't want to explain each one!

How fun! I love all the pictures, my Mom and Dad went to Vegas a few months ago with my sweet Aunt and Uncle- don't worry, I asked them what they did and my mom informed me they went to a topless show on accident.HMMMM they had the choice to leave but did any of these active church members who are approaching 70 leave? No- just for the record, "the show wasn't topless the whole time"- Janet.

SUMMER said...

Looks like a BLAST! I LOVE weekend getaways! And I especially LOVE staying up with friends until 3 am!!! Nice job!

Okay I have been a little busy the last couple of weeks. First of all Collin is adorable! Happy Birthday to her! I can't believe she is one already! I bet you had a great time in D-land.
SO fun you went to Vegas with friends. That is the best! I hope the kiddos had fun too! Talk to you soon!
