Strip and strip again

I forgot to mention that last month amidst the chaos and frenzy of life, Nelson and I escaped for 3 days to Las Vegas. While he attended a CLE conference, I worked on David's stocking pattern for Christmas, shopped and lounged around. We went to see a Cirque de soliel type show that was so amazing. It was a water show and there were synchronized swimmers and some astounding physical showmanship. We went to a couple of buffets, one that was fine but overpriced for breakfast at the Mirage and another that was the best buffet I've ever been to for dinner at Paris. It has been two years since we have been anywhere just the two of us so it was really great to get away.
Orem High swim team has a Halloween tradition that came late this year because they were on a bus for St. George last Friday when they would've normally held this long awaited event. It's called the strip 1000. Each swimmer wears 10 items of clothing (or whatever - that kid next to Michael has a grocery bag diaper on) and for every 100 they swim they get to remove 1 item. Some kids dip into the costume box and the outfits are, well, a sight.

Here's Katie in the pool with some JV girls.

Michael is number one. He finished his swim first, way to go!
