Abbygale First Tooth Out & Tooth Fairy

Abbygale lost her first tooth (front-bottom) on July 26, 2016 at 4 years old (almost 5 years).  She was beyond excited the tooth fairy was coming for a visit.  She has been saying for a month she wanted $135 from the tooth fairy and she would hit the jackpot!

She took her tooth and put it in a case and then in the princess tooth fairy holder she has.  She tucked it right under her pillow.  In the morning she looked and she had $60 ($40 for savings and $20 for a toy), a tooth fairy wand, and a little letter from the tooth fairy herself.  She was so happy!  Not quite $135 but she still was thrilled!

Her adult tooth had already started to come in before her baby tooth even fell out.  The dentist said this was common.

She can't wait to lose her second tooth!  Who wouldn't right - she is one special and lucky girl!

YO Ranch Headquarters

We went to YO Ranch Headquarters for the day and had a great experience.  We had a home cooked meal, ranger ride looking at African Safari animals, and even a hands on encounter with a giraffe.  We got to put cookies in our mouth and the giraffes would come and eat them and give us a kiss!  It was a once in a lifetime experience that we will have the memories of forever.

Las Vegas June 2016

We went to Las Vegas!!  Viva Las Vegas!!  We had so much fun!  We walked the entire strip and looked at all the hotels, gardens, waterfalls, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, and other attractions.  We saw the dancing water fountain at the Bellagio and the erupting volcano at The Mirage.  We swimmed everyday at our hotel or Mawmaw and Pawpaw's pool.  We stayed at the Venetian and loved it!  Bryan and I got to do a little gambling, went to the wax museum, and went to the Brittney Spears concert while Abbygale played with Mawmaw and Pawpaw.  Abbygale went to multiple arcades, Circus Circus, shopped, and sightseed.  We went to Fremont, which Abbygale loved with all the lights and music!  We ate way too much and saw lots of characters on vacation too, such as Hello Kitty, Spider man, Batman, Minnie & Mickey, Elvis, and Minions.  We also went to the old Las Vegas signed where Abbygale got to ride a horse!

The vacation was a success and so much fun!  We weren't ready to come home and we loved spending time with Mawmaw and Pawpaw too!  Abbygale's favorite things in Las Vegas were swimming, M&M store, and seeing Mawmaw and Pawpaw!
