Spring Break in Vegas {2011}

We decided to get away to Vegas for Spring Break!
The kids were so excited and so were we!
Micah's quote when we checked out where we were staying:
"THIS IS ALL I COULD EVER DREAM OF!"
So the first thing we did was head to the beach/pool! The kids were in heaven!
The entire pool was only 3 1/2 feet deep... perfect for kids!
The sand made it extra fun!
After the pool the kids begged to go and watch the planes
take off at the airport! Cheap entertainment!
The kids could have stayed for hours!
Just a cute pic of Halie!
After plane watching we headed to Viva Mercados...
gotta love cell phone pics! Halie loves her dad!

The next day we slept in and headed straight to the pool when it opened!
The kids would not leave! We pretty much spent the whole day swimming!
HEAVEN! Micah and I decided we should just live there!
Micah also said when I was putting my swim suit on "DOES MOM REALLY HAVE TO WEAR A SWIM SUIT TO THE POOL!"
So sad! He is already getting embarrassed of me!

After a day of swimming we got ready for dinner and the
Hoover Dam with Uncle Micah and Aunt Whitney!
Halie wouldn't take a pic with us until she got one with Aunt Whitney...
apparently they are way cooler than us!
A family shot! Jeff finally has his eyes open... now we will work on a smile!
Micah nervous ... Halie running down the stairs!
So grown up... and such good helpers!
This will be nice when the baby is born!
Doing a little sight seeing!.... Cesar's Palace! The kids loved the real mall!
And all the escalators!
Checking out the lions at the MGM!
Little buddies!
Halie LOVED all the characters on the strip and wanted pics with everyone...
Micah not so much!
She was so excited!
Walking the strip! Hold on tight... I was a little nervous myself!
The MNM Factory! The kids were so excited to see this... But Micah says as we walk in "This is not what I was picturing... I thought it was where they made MNM's not just sell MNM stuff!"
But they did enjoy filling their bags with candy! I hope so for $13 a lb!

Halie looked at me asked if the bear bit... and next thing I knew...
she ran under the ropes and was posing with the bear... the workers loved her!
The kids LOVE escalators! Not elevators! And the good thing is they are
everywhere in Vegas... not so much in St. George... so it was like we were at
Disneyland going up and down so many times!
What trip to Vegas is complete without the Coke Factory...
again disappointing to Micah but they had a good time teasing
me about all the Diet Coke stuff!

We had such a fun time! I am glad we got to spend some quality time together
before the baby arrives! I am certain our easy little life might
be drastically changing once he arrives!
