Las Vegas

We bought my Mom tickets to see Garth Brooks for Christmas and her birthday so we headed to Las Vegas for the weekend. Maggie came with us. We rented a condo and planned on just hanging out and swimming. Carter wasn't the best 2 year old in the car on the way down.  He started crying and wanting out before we even got out of Tooele County, luckily he settled down and did better.  He still only slept about 20 minutes the entire trip! So when we got there I just let him lose.  I guess he decided to unpack first thing..

We went to Sams Town to eat at Billy Bobs the first night, they had a big animal display and Carter was amazed!

So Saturday morning the kids are up bright and early which means so is Kami.  (Nate & Gma are sleeping) it was supposed to be close to 75 that day so I got the kids all hyped up and ready to go swimming.  Getting them ready and to the pool in the condo took at least 45 minutes by the time you blow up the floaties...you know how that goes...we get there and the swimming pool is freezing, and the hot tub is scorching hot...yep just our luck.  So we head back to the condo and I decide I will find an indoor pool.  I find one relatively close, load the kids up, find the place, get them in and they aren't doing open swim that day!  I thought Maggie and I were going to have a meltdown! So we had a swim party in the bathtub. 

Saturday afternoon we went to Ceasers Palace to walk around and have lunch.  We ate at Max Brennars, the food was really good, but Dessert was awesome.  We shared the urban smores. Yummy

We of course had to go see the big fish tank

We decided to go to MGM and see the Lions and then go to M&M World. Well the Lions are gone, so we just walked through.  Carter had had enough of the stroller and was so dirty by this point I didn't really care...

Well, needless to say his feet were BLACK

Saturday night my Mom and I headed to see Garth..it is just as good the 2nd time.

I was a rebel and took a picture of him at the end.  They are so strict about photography but I knew I probably wouldn't get back so I had to try.  Not the best pic, but I got one. 

Sunday we just hung out, met some friends for lunch and then went to visit Coon's.  We left the kids with Kevin & Dyanne and went to dinner with Glen and Marcia at Binions.  Best meal in Las Vegas, hands down. 

Monday we headed home and Carter was much better in the car.  We made it home without any issues.
