Vegas Baby!

We went to Vegas over Easter weekend with the kids, and I must say it is still the biggest Hell Hole I remember it being from the last time I was there. If it wasn't for all the smoke and porn everywhere, I would enjoy it a lot more. We decided to go there because we thought the kids would have fun seeing all the lights and shows, and they did. I forgot, however, about all the wonderful flyers those nice men hand out to eveyone and the majority of them end up on the ground, visible to everyone, including my kids. Greg and I tried to keep there eyes focused up on the buildings, but that is easier said than done. Needless to say we used that as a teaching opprtunity as best as we could for a 6 and 4 year old about modesty and pornography. Greg and I both felt like we had exposed are kids to things that took some of their innoncence away. We were both just glad that we decided to talk to our kids about it rather than just try and ignore it and hope they forget about it. We both want to have a very open and strong relationship with all our kids, we just never thought we would have to talk to them about this type of stuff so young. When we asked the girls what they had seen and what they thought of it, Kiana our oldest said, well they don't dress very nice, that's for sure. We just smiled and said your right! Anyway, beside that and the fact that I turned 30 while we were there, we did have a lot of fun. I think the best part for everyone was playing at the pool. It was very warm on Sunday and Monday, so we spent most those days swimming. Oh how I wish it was warm here!
