No, I haven't melted yet
When I went out to eat breakfast on the patio this morning, the thermometer said it was 99 degrees. At 8 in the morning. Vegas is HOT! But, we're having a good time despite the heat. I've spent a lot of time inside the house hanging with Little Dude. S-Boogie doesn't care about the heat and loves to be outside. She's spent a bunch of time in the pool with Grandpa. I realized last night that her hair is starting to feel like straw, but at least it hasn't turned green yet.
Yesterday we went down to the Strip to see a travelling exhibit that's currently at the Tropicana casino. It's called "Bodies" and features presereved human bodies and organs that have been plasticized. I was worried that it would be gross, but it was actually very fascinating. S-Boogie wasn't that interested in it, though, and Little Dude just slept in the snuggli the whole time. After looking at the exhibit we walked over to the MGM Grand and ate lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. S-Boogie liked that a lot more. Real human bodies are not interesting, animatronic elephants are. Hmm... On our way back to the car we stopped by the lion habitat (every casino has to have something cool--MGM has real lions) to see them for a minute. S-Boogie yelled "Hey lion, look at my shirt, it's green!". The lion, unfortunately, didn't seem very impressed.
That was probably the extent of our touristing for this trip. We might go do one other thing later in the week, but it's so hot and yucky out there. Plus the Strip just isn't worth it for me. Too crowded, noisy and expensive. My parents' house has plenty to do, and luckily S-Boogie thinks that the pool is better than anything else out there. Little Dude just likes the ceiling fans.
