I'm BAAAACKKKK!!!

Hi everyone!!! We made it home late last night, safe and sound, with all 4 bags in tact!! Wheeee!!!! We had a great time, lots of fun and things to see - 4 days is NOT enough!!! Here are a few pics for your viewing enjoyment!!! OH HEY - I bought a Xyron machine...not sure how I lived without it!!! WAYYY cheaper in the USA!!! That was all the crafty shopping I did - we spent more time looking for shoes for Tim (he bought 4 pairs; I bought 5!!) LOLHere is me at the airport waiting for our ride!!

This is Tim & I at his sister's wedding - the reason we went to VEGAS!!!

The waterslide that goes THROUGH the shark tank at The Golden Nugget. It was sooo cool!!!

Me losing all my money - damn blinky lights and bleeping - soooo addicting!!! Actually, we didn't spend too much time or money gambling - too much to see, too much shopping to be done!!!

The HUGE light show on Fremont Ave. This one was about the alien arrival - it was SOOOO freakin' cool!!!! This screen was above the street - probably about 6 or 7 blocks long. SO neat!!
Here we are on Fremont Ave. hanging out with all the kooky people down there!! I guess that's what you get when you can legally drink on the streets 24-7!!!

The desert - this was on our way out to Primm to hit the outlet mall! Such cool landscape, sooo different from Canada. It was barren desert, then these "hills" the locals call mountains - I had to laugh! FAR cry from the Rocky Mountains!! BUT it was sooo gorgeous!!
Tim in HEAVEN!!!! This store was HUGE!!!! Tim is a BIG fisherman, so needless to say, when he saw this store, we HAD to stop! It was really neat inside - fish tanks, duck pond, waterfalls, shooting range, and TONS of stuff to buy!

This is me in front of the OCC (Orange County Choppers) bike that they made for The Bass Pro Shop. It's hard to see all the details but this bike was amazing. If anyone has ever watched the show you will know what I mean! AMAZING craftsmanship!!!

Here I am in front of MESA GRILL - one of Bobby Flay's restaurants in Vegas! We went for Brunch on Sunday - it was SO good!!!!

Here is the whole fam at Mesa Grill! (minus the bride and groom of course!)

Me and David "hangin out" at Caesar's Palace! (pun intended!)

Guess who was playing at the Flamingo????

Paris at night!
FAO Schwartz toy store...OMG!!! That is all I can say!!! OMG!!!!

No "one-legged" men!





Tim and I at Hoover Dam.



Hoover Dam again!
