Girls Just Wanna Have Fu-uun……..

The prodigious lyrics to this Cyndi Lauper tune certainly rang true a couple of delightful weekends ago.

Blythe and I decided it would be fun to have a little girls’ getaway weekend in Las Vegas. So, I drove out from Cali with my friends Kim and Sara, and she drove out from Utah with her friends Kim and Nikki (I know, Kim overload). Blythe’s boyfriend, Easton, was kind enough to let us stay at his awesome loft, and the mischief ensued from the very second we all got together.

It was a most awesome event.

The weekend was filled with a plethora of activities; however they  consisted of a few main themes:

Eating:

 

Mmmmmm….

Serendipity Frozen Hot Chocolate. Decadent!!

 

 

 

Sara chowing down on some Baja Fresh!

 

 

 

 

 

Breakfast at The Original Pancake House.

 

 

 

 

The waffle fries in the bottom right corner were to die for!

 

 

 

 

 

F.A.O. Schweetz!!

 

 

 

Now, I must exclude Miss Kimothy from this particular activity. She was on some crazy diet that consisted of plain chicken breasts, Mahi Mahi, and broccoli (which made her quite gassy, I might add). Hence, all she would “eat” on our food outings was organic herbal tea.

I will say this – the girl has some amazing self-control. NOT pig out in Las Vegas? Almost unheard of.

 

Relaxing in/at the pool:

You’ll notice that there are no pool pictures of me. That is because I plan on destroying all evidence of the fact that I was ever in a bathing suit that weekend. Pasty white. Not pretty. Went to a tanning salon last week and bought a month’s worth of tans.

 

Gallivanting like fools around Caesar’s Palace:

Ummmm……I really have no good explanation for these pictures. Excepting that six hungry girls can always find some way to get into trouble when they are let loose in a casino that has an ample supply of props. Nuff said.

Playing around in a revolving door

 

Playing around with David’s, um….jewels.

 

Notice Kim’s pout. She’s just realized that she can’t partake in the chocolatey goodness!

 

Shazaam!!

 

Ah ha!! Finally, a knight in shining armor!!

 

They say that Vegas is supposed to be like Disneyland for grown-ups. I think that it lived up to this reputation, don’t you?

 

Playing with the “Pink Glitter-Bouncy-Ball O’ Fun”:

So, on their way down to Vegas, Blythe’s carload stopped in Beaver, Utah. There, at a podunk little gas station, they picked up what has to be the best, most entertaining little toy ever known to man.

The “Pink Glitter-Bouncy-Ball O’ Fun.”

A bouncy ball? What’s so fun about a bouncy ball?

Well, let me tell you. This is no ordinary bouncy ball. First of all, it is HUGE – the biggest one that I’ve ever seen by far (that’s what she said – he he). Secondly, it is bright pink – perfect for a girls’ weekend. Thirdly, it has glitter and – wait for it, wait for it – a strobe light on the inside, so that when you bounce it, the ball sparkles and shimmers like a disco ball.

So. Awesome!!

This ingenious little toy provided us with hours (well maybe not hours) of laughter and entertainment, both on land and at sea.

(You see how red Blythe’s eyes are in the following picture? Well, if you could read what the bracelet she is holding says, you would understand why. Little devil.)

At the end of our trip, right before we were about to leave the loft, Kim H. decided that she wanted to know what would happen to the “Pink Glitter-Bouncy-Ball O’ Fun” if she dropped it off the balcony. Mind you, the loft is on the 9th story of the building.

Bets were placed. The ball was dropped. And wouldn’t you know it, that little bugger didn’t even end up with a scratch on it!! It is apparently invincible!!

The only one who didn’t think that the ball would burst upon impact was Kim W., so she got to take it home as a prize.

I want one too!!

 

Being educated on the “ins and outs” of tea bags by Ms. Kimberly W.:

The girl is truly a kook. What else can I say? And I love her for it!

 

This girls’ weekend was a total blast, and I can’t wait to go back again!!
