Las Vegas Trip

It was SO nice to take a Vacation to a warmer place. While we were gone Montana was having very cold weather one day it was negative 11 in the middle of the day. So it was a well deserved fun trip we took. We did so many fun things every day. Here are some of the pics we took.


This was Haven's first time on an airplane, she thought it was cool. Carter hasn't flown since he was 2 1/2 so he thought it was awesome also. They both were great on the airplane, especially considering we had to wait on the plane an extra hour while they De-iced the wings!


On the way down to Vegas they do a money bag drawing. everyone who wants to puts in a $5 bill with their seat # on it then they pull a bill out and give the bag to that seat #. Well we WON IT! we were up $200 before we even took step into Vegas! pretty awesome huh.



Here are some pics from Circus Circus. It was perfect for Carter because he could go on a bunch of rides by himself. Since I couldn't go on any Tim just bought a pass for he and Carter.









We also went to the wax museum at the Venetian. It was pretty cool, but not worth the $25/person to get in. But they are exact replicas of the people they have in there, and you are allowed to touch them and touch any of their props and take any picture you want with them.

Tim giving his money to the President.



Me with one of my favorite actresses Lucy from I Love Lucy!






Carter golfing with Tiger Woods and Tim telling Tiger where to put the ball. lol





We stayed at the Luxor. Which was awesome, especially cuz Carter is all in to the Egyptian thing right now because of a Cartoon he watches about king tut.





We went to the dolphin and white lion and Tiger habitat. Very pretty animals there.
















Here we are at F-A-O Schwarz, the biggest toy store ever! It is a kid paradise and a parents nightmare. :D


















This is just the advertisement for Cirque de sole show called "KA" which we got 2 free tickets for just for booking our flight through allegiant air. so Tim and Carter went but are not allowed to take pics, it was an amazing acrobatic show they said.






We went on a stupid 2 hour tour to try to be sold a time share so we could get some free tickets to a few of the other things we did. like this tournament of kings show at the Excalibur. It was very awesome. once again pictures not allowed but I snuck one before the show started. They feed you good food and have a fun show. but normally costs $65 /person, but we got them free!!





We also got Shark reef aquarium tickets free for.









Carter touching a sting ray at the shark reef.




Carter has learned alot about Komodo dragons, so it was awesome for him to be able to see a real one at the reef also.





I just had to take a picture of this statue because it is how I felt walking around with my big ol belly. lol







This slide show sign was on the wall and it would look like you touched the water when you walked in front of it, it was way awesome!




We had such a blast! coming back to the snow and cold really was no fun though, but I am grateful we got to escape the worst of it for 4 days though.
The kids were so good and loved seeing some cool things. poor Haven was even getting her molars in and the night before we headed home Haven got a fever, which made her sleep the whole trip home which was good though.

I love love love Vegas. I have seen the tournament of kings and I also thought it was pretty cool. I also got it for free but the poor boy I was with had to pay double (he he). So not worth the money. Looks like you guys had tons of fun. I need to get down there and quick.

Sounds like a great vacation. Your Dad has a problem with the slot machines so I'm sure we won't be going to Vegas soon (except to fly to Alaska). Also, love your hair. You really will enjoy it. I can't seem to get in to comment on your blog of your hair.
