4th of July at the Panos Estate

The Panos Estate

Thanks to David's mom we were able to spend time with the family over the 4th of July in Las Vegas. I could sum up the trip in just a few words: Extremely Hot but there are many other things to talk about as well, such as we all pretty much made the decision to go ahead and move in to the Panos Estate and assume job positions such as "towel boy and spritzer" "baby sitter" "family cook" "lifeguards" and the list goes on, however on July 8 we came to our senses and were back to real life. Our daily schedule looked something like this, eat every couple of hours and when you were not eating you were sure to be in the pool due to the heat. However, there were a few activities that went on outside of the normal daily schedule which were the family email and blogging seminar, a night out on the town and of course the Little Ethel Family Talent Show. I am sure you will see how much fun we had by looking at all of our pictures from the week!

David and I were both surprised to see our brother Mikie! He works on all those west coast fires we hear about and didn't think that he would be able to come. We haven't seen Mikie since November, so it was great to spend some time with him! If only Larry and Aaron could have been there too!

Making Waves

Our night out on the town!

Everyone had seen downtown on several occasions except for me, so we all ventured to the strip one night, mainly just to people watch. I did get to see a water show at the Bellagio and a volcano erupt at Treasure Island. We took a rest room break at Treasure Island where David ended up playing a hand full of quarters in a slot machine...and we won $170!

Cute as can be!
