More Vegas

So the next day we spent the morning at the pool. Then after lunch, Dave, Haylee, Trent and I went to the Titanic exhibit. It was AWESOME! KEvin had gone the day before so him and the two littles ones went to take a nap. After naps, we headed out to tour the strip. We wanted to see the Treasure Island show, so we started that direction. Before hand, we stopped in Excalibur and let the kids each pick a toy. Laycee of course picked some "prettys" in the form of braclets. Haylee picked some princess body glitter that Laycee wanted too.

Logan and Trent each got a sword
So CUTE!

One of the rare smiles this day. See, we decided to head out about 430 for the show. It was supposed to start at 730. It was hotter than we expected and we only brought one bottle of water.

The kids sword fought while we waited.

More waiting.

Finally, the Billagio water show. It was supposed to be every 15 minutes according to the front desk, but we waited over 30 minutes for it. Then we headed on again. We thought it would fun to see the aquarium at Mirage. Little did I realize that the Mirage was not as close as it looked lol.

We wanted to see the volcano show too, but it didn't start until 830.

The kids LOVED seeing the fish. We stopped to pee and got some more water. Then we headed over to Treasure Island for the 730 show. Well... when we got there, the show was in progress and didn't start again until 830. We were tired, hungry, and hot... so we decided to head back.

I don't know why I can't think of what it is called today. But instead of walking the whole way back, we spent the money for the monerail to drop us at MGM Grand instead.

Kevin and Haylee were being silly to work off some of their frustration.

We made it back to the hotel for the buffet at 930. Ate a late dinner and headed back to the room for the night.

I guess I stopped taking pictures at this point lol. But the next day we went to see Bodies the exhibit that Luxor had going on. It was educational and informative. I would have liked it better if I was able to spend more time reading instead of chasing kids though. After that, we headed back on the road towards AZ. The 6 hour drive was long and the Grand Canyon was ridiculous to get through. We spent the next few days lovin our families. Hanging out, playing games, and catching up. Dave wanted to keep it a secret because we weren't really sure we were going to make it to AZ. So he swore his dad to secrecy. When we showed up on their door step to say hi, his mom was floored! We stopped next door to Brian and Tina's for cake and ice cream (it just happened to be Jarom's birthday lol). Then headed out to moms house. We stayed 5 days there just getting as much game playing in as possible. On wednesday, we attended the funeral for Lindsay's twins Ammon and Aaron who died in utero and then drove the 22 hrs straight through home. It was a great trip, but we were glad Dave had an additional few days of leave for us to relax and recover.
