On Friday, Erik went golfing with a friend of his and I went to the Shark Reef with part of my family. It was incredible! Claire couldn't take her eyes off of this giant "saw shark".
Later, the entire family met up and watched the "dancing fountains" (as all the little kids call them) at the Bellagio. My parents had never seen them either. It was a fun night out as a family.
Saturday morning we went to the Las Vegas sign. I've been to Vegas a million times but had never seen the sign before. We actually got a good picture out of it too; it turned out the guy was a photographer. You all know how I LOVE good pictures. They just make my day!
Afterwards, we watched the stressful Utah/BYU game. Thank goodness Utah won. I about had a heart attack. Later that night, my awesome parents babysat Claire while Erik and I went to our first ever Vegas "show" .... Blue Man Group. We even got to be part of the show! We were "late arrivals". A little while after the show started, an escort came and got us and we walked to our new seats up front. A spotlight was on us as we walked to the seats and that was about it. :) Kind of stupid but hey, we got great seats out of it.
Erik flew home the following morning and Claire and I followed the next day. I was so nervous about how she was going to do on an airplane. Going through the disabled line is definitely the way to travel. :) The only hiccup was that my breastmilk had to go through 3 extra security measures because it wasn't passing. Weird. Anyway, when I got on the flight I thought this is going to be awesome. The plane wasn't full so Claire got her own seat and she was sound asleep. Well, I spoke too soon. Right as we were taking off, she woke up. She did okay for the first little while but the last 30 minutes, she really fussed. Thank goodness it was a very short flight.
It's always nice to finally get home after a vacation, but of course, it's hard to leave. Especially when you leave family. I only get to see my sisters about two times a year and I miss them a lot! Next time they see us, Claire will probably be walking. :( I am so thankful for telephones, email and Skype!

Our Thanksgiving in Vegas with family was great. We especially loved being with all of you at the Shark Reef. It brought back many great memories of our time in Bermuda. You'll have to go back again when Claire can really appreciate all the sea creatures.
It sure was a fun weekend! I wish it was longer and not so cold so we could have enjoyed ourselves outside the house a little bit more.
