ViVa LaS VeGaS !!!!!

***(Sorry for the long post)***
Wow did we have a great time in Vegas. We did several activities while we were there and had a blast.

Aspyn saw Excaliber and would yell "Mom my castle" so we had to get a picture of Aspyn and her castle.

****M&M WORLD

****CHILDRENS MUSEUM
The Childrens Museum was great. They were having "Grossology" and it discussed everything from where farts and burps come from to name that smell. It was very educational and gross. They kids loved it though.
This guy "Mr Nose it all" was teaching about colds and runny noses. He talked about where colds and runny nose come from and then he would have a big blob of snot fall out of his nose. All the kids would yell "YUCK"!

Kids size operation table

This guy was a belching machine. You would crank the handle up and down to get him to drink and the harder you cranked the harder he belched. Again the kids loved it:)

Some of the other areas in the Museum were:

Worker Area


Painting Area


Bubble Area.



Hurricane Machine which blew wind up to 100 MPH. The older kids loved it, but just look at poor Ridges face. He was not a fan of the hurricane.



Kids Radio Area and of course my kids had to perform.



Firefighter Area


Mechanic Area



They had several other things as well. All in all we spend over 5 hrs there and had a great time.

****TAHAITI VILLAGE (where we stayed)
Had a lazy river and a pool which had an area of beach. It was so much fun to just relax. The little ones had a ball on the beach digging and playing in the sand. And the older ones loved playing freesbie and water guns. Aspyn and Ridge love to float the lazy river by themselves and did not want you to touch their tube.

Brock

Easton

Bailey & Trey

Kyler


Brock, Bailey, Easton, Ridge, Trey & Aspyn. I'm not so sure why my kids look so ticked. We had a great time - I Promise.


****LION KING
Randi, Bailey, Brock, Trey, Easton and I went to the broadway show "Disneys - The Lion King". What can I say this was fantastic and yes Allen I finally saw my first broadway show. It will be the first of many. We loved it!


****Rainforest Cafe
And of course we can't go to Vegas without eating at the Rainforest Cafe.



We finished up the week with some back to school shopping and of course enjoyed some of the fireworks. All in all we had a great time and look forward to another week long adventure where ever we may go.
