Vegas Baby

Wow. It's been awhile. I have been buuusy. But hasn't everyone? That's what it seems like to me. We have been really enjoying the beautiful weather. Swim lessons, bikes, slides, swings, walks, pictures, play dates. So many fun things! I just haven't spent any time editing pictures for the blog. But I thought I should probably put something on here as I realized I hadn't even posted their Easter outfits from months ago. Whoa. I am behind. But that will have to wait.

As summer was about to be upon us Steve and I realized we weren't going to be able to take our family on any kind of big trip this year. It just wasn't going to fit in. But we didn't want it to pass without doing something together. We wanted to try a vacation with just our little family. This was risky because we have 3 little ones under the age of 4 and we wanted it to be enjoyable and not a nightmare. We decided to stay close since we only had a few days. Steve picked Las Vegas. After a bit of hesitation we decided to go for it since our options were slim. It ended up being better than we ever could have hoped for.

I didn't take many pictures for a couple of reasons... #1 - it took both Steve and I's full attention to make sure the kids were safe and on their best behavior so there wasn't much attention left for picture taking. #2 - I took my point and shoot and the memory card was being screwy, I found out later that I needed to reformat my memory card. I took this one great picture of Crew in our hotel room... It speaks volumes of our experience.



Let me give you a brief rundown of our trip to Vegas. It was awesome! Really, it was. The kids were great! It made us so excited to do something again next year. They got along well and were very obedient. There is so much to see in Las Vegas, especially for the kids! We saw the tigers and ate at the Rain Forest Cafe at the MGM Grand. We saw the fountains and the beautiful moratorium at the Bellagio. We walked through the shopping mall in Caesar's Palace and had our own show at their fish aquarium and enjoyed a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity. We saw the pirate ship at Treasure Island and the Volcano at the Mirage. We drove the strip many times. We went shopping and swimming at our hotel. We stayed at the Excalibur and Reagan was in heaven. She thought it was her very own castle and wore her princess dress every minute we were in our room. Crew was made a knight and saved her from every dragon they saw. So much fun.

I did take a bunch at the St. George Temple. We stopped there to let the kids run around and they really had a great time. The visitors center there has a lot of fun things for kids. If you haven't checked it out, you should.













So fun. Seriously. Love this little family of mine.
