that's what you get for waking up in vegas.




We came, we gambled, we conquered. Or maybe not conquered, because we didn't walk away with much*, but it was still a fabulous trip. And I hardly took any pictures, because we all know the Olsen men hate photos & my camera always gets shy around them. The ones I did take consist mostly of weird, random shots of my sweet G looking totally buzzed/stoned/drunk, which he was not...(just tired). My cute sister-in-law wrote an awesome post about the details of our trip, so visit her if your interested in those.

Thanks fam for a great time and thanks Vegas for being 107 degrees every day & somehow convincing me that Utah weather is perfect. And also thank you to the "Let it Ride" dealer who took my $40 that otherwise would have been spent on new clothes...how thoughtful of you, really.

G and some of his chippies.
 Us right before "LOVE" started. There were no cameras allowed in the theater, but we all know that I don't enjoy following rules very much. Yes, someone saw me & yes, I got in trouble, but I still don't regret it. And just for the record, I think I would have liked "Love" A LOT BETTER if I could have felt my toes/feet/fingers during the performance. Because I am not kidding you, I COULD NOT FEEL THEM...it was beyond freezing.
This picture is super weird, the picture taker obviously didn't have great picture-taking skills, but it's all about the memories, right? I wanted at least ONE picture of all of us together, so I forced all Olsens into formation for this one. And I don't regret that, either.
I like the way this picture sort of makes you dizzy, because that's kind of what Vegas does to you, too.
Contrary to what this photo might suggest about him, G did not consume any drugs or alcohol that night. Shocking, I know. I still think he's cute, blood-shot eyes and all.
And here we are by the fountains, and those are little drops of water all around us.
Pretty sweet.
The only thing that could have made the trip better would have been the presence of our own little Beatle-lovers. We missed you guys! And finally a shout out to Heidi and Erik who made us laugh non-stop and taught me how to gamble...we loved hanging out with you guys!

  3. Oh yes, I love Vegas! And I'm glad to hear Ryan and I aren't the only ones who gamble when we visit sin city, because we are looked down upon by many. Sounds like a blast, we may be going there again soon- hopefully we have as much fun as you guys!
