I was the crazy one that kept running across the parking lot, back to the hotel, to breastfeed every two hours. I don't want to even discuss how many people "kindly" reminded me this was Blog World and not Blogher :) I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that brought children to Blog World.

And it only sort of works. But you know what? I think that everyone is the richer for experiences like these. Maybe even the other annoyed adults. I remember before I had kids, being royally inconvenienced by the mere idea of them. These days I am heartily embarrassed by that. But seeing those examples was also filed away somewhere in my mind, so now I know it's OK. I like to think that when my kids are irritating others today, we're also setting an example that says it's OK to take your kids out into the world. You’re right, you do what you have to do.

Sure, sometimes they act like kids. But I just don't think there is any reason (outside of safety concerns) you can lug kids along with you. It's a hassle...........but KIDS are a hassle. And worth every minute. People who take their kids places, end up with kids who know how to act in public. Sure, sometimes they act like kids.

When they get older, it is harder to take them out of school because they miss so much. I think it is great that your kids got to see what Mommy does on a business trip.

There is a water slide that goes through a fish tank - with sharks in it. We saw it during out photo walk on Saturday. If you take the kids back to Vegas, check out the pool at The Golden Nugget.
