This year our annual family reunion was in California. We decided to leave a couple days early and stay a night in Vegas. Not really a place for kids. We thought the kids would like seeing the tigers at the Mirage and the pirate show outside Treasure Island. But you have to pay $20 a person to see the tigers and Treasure Island was too far from our hotel. And it was HOT! Our hotel had a really neat pool with 3 slides that the kids (and parents) had fun on. We ended up having enough time to swim on Saturday afternoon but were planning to do most of our swimming Sunday morning. We woke up, got everybody ready with sunscreen and swimsuits and floaties and towels and waited for the pool to open. Well just our luck. The filter went out and the pool was closed all day. So I didn't get any swimming pictures because I procrastinated and waited until Sunday and then we didn't get to swim.
We did see the fountain show at the Belagio and Braden thought the 'fireworks with water' was pretty neat. This is Braden and Will looking at the strip from the safety of our hotel room. Will loved all the lights.
As we walked down the strip Braden asked how come everybody littered, and I just hoped he didn't see what was on the litter. He also loudly pointed out all the cigarette butts. I don't think we will be going back soon.
This was on the road and so excited for a week of fun. Vegas was the first stop and there's more to come of the rest of the trip.

Well, I think you look fabulous as well.
Glad you guys could go on a much deserved vacations. I can't wait to see the rest of the pics.
And I'm so very jealous too, btw.
It's too bad Vegas has gone away from its kids friendly days. It's sounds like you were able to have some fun anyway. I like the 'fireworks with water' comment. That's a good description of them.
how fun!! vegas and california...two fun, fun places. can't wait to see more from your trip...
Yeah, we stopped there with the kids, and it's really bad when they know how to READ! We had a lot of explaining to do. There's so many good things in Vegas along with the bad! Sounds like you had fun!
