Bodies

This last weekend, Justin's parents were in town and we did alot of the usual stuff; shop, eat (alot), gamble but this time we got to do something different Bodies the Exhibition. This exhibit was amazing, the cadavars are from China. From the news reports I believe they are people that have died in prisons/and or are people that died with no family. The exhibit shows you everything about the human anatomy, bones, muscles, nerves, organs all there on display on for you to see on both the body and dismantled in cases. My favorite area was the nerve room. Somehow these tiny, fragile nerves are taken out of the body then dyed and placed in little plastic blocks for us to see. Unfortunately pictures are not allowed in the exhibit, so it's hard to explain. Near the end, there was a fetus room. It was sad to see, but very interesting. They had little glass jars that ranged from just after conception to 16 weeks along. There was also a case that displayed birth defects. Don't worry, I won't get into it..but it was quite disturbing.

I was really surprised at how many people were there to see the exhibit. The exhibit caused quite the uproar when it was announced it was coming to Vegas. I found that funny. We're definitely a city of sin and overindulgence, god forbid we want an educational show..and on the Strip too!! This is a city where people want to legalize prostitution, but Oh No! We're going to show what people look like underneath the skin.

4th of July

The whole week of the 4th Justin and I are in Lake Tahoe. Yeah, I know..real tough. We're staying with our friends in their vacation house up on the mountain that overlooks the lake. So we spent the 4th on their boat cruising around, then at night watching the fabulous fireworks. Two days before that while we were boating, we actually swam in lake Tahoe. All Lake Tahoe is is melted snow water. Holy Cow it was cold, I lasted about 15 min before I was climbing back into the boat. So we head back Saturday or Sunday. In other news, this happened right up the street from where we are staying at.

So this is our new little buddy Ash. He was born on Feb 1, so that makes him just 5 mo old! Simon and him are good buddies now.
