Trent and I had a trade show there, and we decided to take the kids (like we do every year) but this time, we had a 3 week old baby along for the ride. I have to admit that my kids a GREAT travelers, they know that we do not let them out of seat belts and we bribe them like crazy....Ruby was the hard one, she wanted to be held the entire trip...(she is a mamma's girl big time!!) Other than the usual, "are we there yet" questions, we survived the drive.
Once we finally arrived in vegas, it felt like summer just began. We have had really weird and odd weather at home and the kids didn't get to play outside much...so they were dying to go swim and lay out in the sun.
The kids turned into water bugs all week....they swam from about 10am-4pm everyday. They finally got some sun and little tans on their butts!
One of the fun events at the tradeshow (magic) is the fashion show, Knuckleheads and Hula mula were both chosen to be a part of the kids show. Brooklyn was so amazed that these kids were up there doing it, she was full of questions and wanted to know how to be a model and how the kids got to do it....(ugh!)
Also at the show is a large children's magazine that photographs designers clothing for their next issue, and we have always used Otto as the model at past shows, but this time with Hula Mula here we got to use Brooklyn and Lily for the photoshoot.
All week the girls practiced in front of the mirror, turning, posing, flipping hair.....
The girls were so excited the day of the shoot......and when we get there, the photographer askes who goes first, and Brooklyn jumped right up there and instantly starts posing, flipping hair, hands on hips...changing expressions....it was so funny! I didn't think she would really do it.
Then lily gets up there.....miss personality...and she is a dud! She freezes up and just stands looking sad.
So, the photographer gets both girls together to get Lily to lighten up with her sister....I thnk he got some good ones.
Lastly, Otto (who is the pro) gets up there and totally lights up the camera...posing, relaxed and having fun. People started gathering around watching him...we even got offered to work for a huge modeling agency in vegas (which we turned down).
Anyhow, it was a fun trip for the kids and lots of suveniers later (thanks to Circus Circus's games).
Now, we have to get ready for school to start on tuesday......Yeahhhhh!!!
