Viva Las Vegas!

We spent the last week of February in Las Vegas. It was a wonderful little retreat for our family! Sometimes I feel like we are pulled in so many directions we don't actually visit with each other! We watched movies in the room, swam (freezing!), and just played.
It was a joy to have time to just...Be.

We went to Circus-Circus and spent one day at their little (BIG!) indoor amusement park. We took Spencer's picture next to "his" bus...the BC Bus!

Out walking through the casinos, and Lee told all the kids to strike a "muscle guy" pose. If you look closely, you'll see Tory kissing his muscle...! Funny boy!



We drove out to the Hoover Dam one day. Behind Lee and I is the new Freedom Bridge (when you drive across it, you can't see over the sides...Good thing, since you are WAY up there!), and here are the kids and I in front of the dam.




We stopped to play at the arcade near the M&M factory. They had this very cool race car game, where the car really swings and sways as you take your corners. Poor little Tory almost couldn't reach the pedals!




Of course, I insisted Dad give it a try!



At the Coca-Cola store. Too cheap to spring for the picture with some icy mountain behind us...hey, we like green! :D





Last time we were there, the bear tried to eat Tory's head in one of our pictures. That made Tory pretty nervous THIS time...!





Three out of five...Not TOO bad, right?

What fun trip!! I especially love the green screen pic (with the large polar-bear-headed-animal...haha) - way to get into the St. Patrick's Day/Irish-spirit of things ;)

Sounds like a fun trip for the whole family!
