Off to the Tropicana

It isn't often that we decide to go down to the Las Vegas "strip" but today was an exception. After all we have lived here for almost 13 years now and both of my kids were born here. So the bright lights from the casinos and ringing of the slot machines has never lead me to fame nor fortune and only to a pounding headache and nausea. But today we were actually very excited to go.

We were going to the Tropicana to see a couple exhibits. Not only that, but we also were meeting up with some the the families that are in the same unschooling groups as we are. So we were doubly excited! There are two exhibits running right now. They are the Bodies Exhibition and the Titanic Exhibit. The girls had a great time checking out everything. I don't think that I have ever seen such an amazing exhibit as the bodies exhibition. And I didn't get to meet with the Life Learners (our unschooling group) last week and I could really feel the difference in myself. I really miss them when I don't see them. All the women in this group are so loving. They are really like our family. I know that the girls feel the same way. My sister in law made a comment while they were here that my girls got along and played with their little cousins so very well. I know it is because the girls have friends of all ages here in this group. They can appreciate what every child has to offer and age makes no difference to them. We are so happy that we found the Las Vegas Life Learners!!

Anyway, what was I talking about..... oh yes. The exhibits. So after we toured both of them Ice Princess and Mighty Girl bought a small human skeleton from the gift shop. There in the lobby they had a great time putting it together. Here are some pictures. It was a great day!!
