Vegas Vacation

We were fortunate to be able to go to Las Vegas again this year for the Mountain West B-ball Tournament with my parents and two of my brothers. It was a lot fun to hang out with everyone. Kelly enjoyed the couple of basketball games that he went to with all the guys.
Here are a few photos from the children's museum. The kids had fun running around and playing.


These are water art centers. You place the blue and yellow things in the water and you can change the flow. Jace's shirt was soaking wet after playing here. He kept throwing the duck in and playing in the water.

Kelly got anxious for some other kids to be done playing so he could play.:):)

This car shop was fun. The tools made noises and they could fill the fluids, play with the tires, roll under the car.
This airplane was were Jace spent a lot of his time. There was a baggage screening area to play at. Jace found a spiderman suitcase and kept going up and down the ramp into the plane. It was pretty funny to watch.
The second floor had different science centers. At this one you sat on the seat and as you pulled the rope you would move up and down.
Ashlyn playing dress up and dancing on the stage.

We also took the kids to the Mirage Hotel to see the Dolphin Habitat and Secret Garden which has exotic white tigers, leopards, and a few other big cats.
There were six dolphins including two babies that will be a year old in April.

Swimming was probably the #1 activity. The pool was heated so that is all Ashlyn wanted to do was swim. We swam every morning and every evening.

Wow you guys!!! Those pictures looked like you all had sooo much fun! We are happy you are home, but what a fun experience for your family. There are some really fun things to do in Vegas (even for kids like Kelly).....Neat that you guys could get away for awhile and enjoy family and of course, basketball. We are envious for sure! Glad you are home! Kami
