Viva Las Vegas!!!

We got back last night from a weekend in Vegas! We went down with Nate's sister Angie and her hubby and kids. His little brother Dan and his wife Britt live in St. George so of course they came too. We left early Thursday morning and we really lucked out with the dates we picked because the weather was perfect! We decided to rent a house so that we could all stay together and also not have to eat out every meal. The house that we rented was amazing and we had our own pool and hot tub which the kids absolutely loved! We hit the strip every day and we were able to see a lot of stuff in the short time we were there. (Thank goodness Dax isn't old enough to know what all the cruddy stuff is all about!) It was definitely a family oriented Las Vegas trip but there is so much for kids to do down there, we didn't even get to fit it all in! Anyway, here are some of the pics from our weekend getaway!

The rain forest cafe! Dax and his cousins - Lexi, Brock, Jace, Tyce & his Uncle Casey!


The lion exhibit at MGM Grand! This was really neat to see!


The M&M Factory!


Lexi & Dax on a ride at Circus Circus Adventuredome.


This was his favorite ride. I think he went on it five or six times!


All the cousins on the same ride! (And three other random kids)


Daxton LOVES pirates and skeletons right now but for some reason this one made him a little nervous. We took the funniest pic of him standing by this by himself and he is freaking out but it didn't turn out!




The Treasure Island pirate show! This pic is hideous but cut me some slack, it had been a long day! This show is nothing what it used to be! They should say you have to be 18 or older to watch it because it's pretty much a show with a bunch of half naked ladies dancing around. Pretty sure the guys all enjoyed it! ;) Dax liked it though because of the pirates so whatever.
