Our Trip to Las Vegas


On my way home from Arizona I took the kids to Vegas to see our cousins that were there for the summer. Mark was done with the campaign and we were pretty much done selling five-0 so he hopped on a plane and joined us in Vegas for the weekend and to help me drive back home.
We stayed in the castle hotel(the Excalibur), the kids loved that. We played in their arcade one night and the boys went on a 3-d sponge bob ride. We met up with Chad and Alexis for lunch and then we all went back to our hotel for some swimming. The kids really loved the water slide. Mason even got brave enough to go down by himself. Then we went and got ice cream and our cousins headed back home. The next day we walked the strip with the kids. We went to the M&M store, saw the lions at the MGM Grand(huge hit), we ate lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe. That was really cool to do with the kids, except Kate was terrified of the Elephant and would get really upset whenever it would start making noises. And last we went and saw the Bellagio water fountains, the kids were absolutely blown away by it and wanted to just stay and watch that all night. The kids were so tired of walking by the end of this trip. The next morning Nixon said his feet hurt so bad and he wouldn't even walk anywhere. He crawled everywhere in the hotel room. I felt like a horrible mom. But I rubbed them that night and the next day he was fine. Grandpa Doyle and grandma Elizabeth and grandpa Wayne and grandma Roxie flew in on Saturday night cause Sunday was Alexis's birthday. So we all had breakfast at the hotel together and then we headed home. It was a great family vacation before Mark started his new job.
