The Rademaker Twins: Las Vegas

The family travelled to Las Vegas, NV for a week. I had some training to attend and we decided to make a vacation out of it and stay in our condo. We left in the middle of a huge snow storm - about 12 inches of snow!!! Even with that snow, our flight left only 20 - 30 minutes late and soon we were in sunny weather. Paul and Lizzie did really great on both the flight out and the flight back. They were a little fussier on the return trip, but no more than you would expect. Many of the people on the flights complimented us on our great babies.

While in Vegas, we didn't do much - we got some shopping done at the near-by outlet mall and a little shopping on the Miracle Mile - in the Planet Hollywood casino. We did go to Paris and have some crepes - Paul really liked the nutella crepe. Lizzie wasn't too worked up about either the nutella or the apple crepe.

While I was attending my training - Charlie got to sight see at the local ER. That's right - Paul required a little trip to the ER for an ear infection and pneumonia. He ran a fever our first full day, it went away the next day, and then was on and off the following. So on the fourth day - Charlie took him (with Lizzie in tow) to the immediate care center, where he was told that they only look at kids older than 10. So off to the Children's Hospital. Charlie says the doctors and nurses were all really nice, so it wasn't a really bad experience - just long. We have some anti-biotics and a breathing treatment that seemed to do the trick. We checked in with our local ped yesterday and all is well.

So now, we're all home and happy - except that while on vacation the twins got used to us laying down with them when it was time to sleep and now we have to listen to Lizzie cry for about 30 - 45 minutes before she goes to sleep.
