Party Time

We did end up going to the party but I did not take the good camera, I took the little point and shoot and while it does take decent pictures, not so much indoors, especially with bad lighting like we had in the room. We went to a private suite on the 30th floor of the Encore Resort and Casino, Summer was the perfect child, the kind of child people talk about because they are so well behaved. Upon walking in fashionably late, or just late because traffic in Las Vegas stinks and because I went up the wrong elevator at the hotel and had to go back down and around to another area, we were greeted by a host offering h'ordeuvres - these yummy little cheese puffs. I very nicely accepted and ate half, Summer the other. Next we said hi to a few co-workers and headed straight to the food, and not a moment too soon because the food was delicious, they had chicken kabobs, coconut shrimp, lamb and beef something or other, it was all so tasty. There was also bread, cheese and fruit which mostly completed Summer's dinner, my dinner was spent picking from the yummy meats. The room was high in the sky and the walls were made of glass, Summer enjoyed standing on the ledge, this child has no fear.

The view wasn't spectacular because there is so much darn construction going on around the strip, but it was still very cool and Summer had a great time in that window. I tried to get several good pictures with my small point and shoot camera but with a window and sun and a nice reflection, nice photos escaped me however at least Summer is cute and stood there and smiled and let me try. Look at that dress too - a size 3T, she is such a big girl and looks so grown up. If you look closely at this photo you can even see my reflection standing there taking the picture.


Yep that is me in the purple shirt. The party was actually in a 3 or 4 bedroom suite, we had a nice tour and looked around and found one of the three or four bedrooms. Summer was thrilled seeing beds and immediately wanted "up up" as she likes to say. I thought it best to remove her shoes since the bed was white. I think had I left her there she may have went to sleep, I was told afterward that the beds were really soft and by the look of it Summer seemed to agree. Hey and at least her feet were clean, shew I was worried they would be just as dirty as her shoes.


Overall we had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, my coworkers are friendly and charming and easy to hang around, none of them minded that Summer came either, yes she was the only child too, someone else was suppose to bring their daughter and they were suppose to play together but they ended up getting a sitter and not letting me know...(you know who you are buddy!!!) but the time went fast and before I knew it it was 8:40 and time to go. Summer normally goes to bed at 8:30 so this was a late night for my princess. It was a quick 20 minute drive home and Summer fell asleep almost as soon as we got in the car and slept until we got home, slept through changing into pajamas, and slept while I carried her upstairs and put her into bed. Today she is in a great mood, all the partying and staying out late, eating strange foods and being around strange people did nothing for her morale today. If only we had more company parties.
