Fun in Vegas

This past weekend we took the kids to Las Vegas. We had a blast. It was good to go home. (Well our second home!)

First we had to go to Toys R Us. Zachary has been working really hard to earn a trip there. He ended up with something more than we bargained for though. Jared gave in and bought him a Nintendo DS! What can I say we love spoiling that kid :) The girls got some fun Tinkerbell stuff. With lots of little parts!




We have been watching the progress on the dam for many years now so we had to drive out there to see how it's going. It is almost done. I'll bet the next time we visit we will be driving across it. It just amazes me what they can build and how fast things change down there. Even with the way the economy has been it's still growing.




The funnest thing we did was go to the Lied's Children Museum. I have no idea why we never did this before because it was awesome. I think I had more fun than the kids and that's saying a lot because they had a blast. I think we were there two or three hours. It will be one of those places we visit every time we go.



They had a fun Berenstain Bears area. WE LOVE THE BERENSTAIN BEARS!!!!! They had Teacher Janes school house, the bear cave, Mama Bears kitchen (the girls loved the kitchen) you could be in one of the movies. It was just Fun!




The girls loved it because they were free to go everywhere. They could touch everything and be as loud as they wanted. They had their squeekie shoes on which helped Jared and I keep track of them!



Of course they loved the grocery store. All three of them love to play food. Hopefully one of them will become a chef so I can hire them because I hate to cook! Hate It!




I love the look of awe on Zachary's face in the keyboard picture. He's always wondering how things work and this was the perfect place for him.



This is our typical travelers....

Keira throwing a fit about anything and everything......






and Zoe glued to the T.V.


Eventually they nap and the ride is enjoyable. It was fun and I realized how much I miss my big bad "Sin City". Until next time Las Vegas.

  1. Looks like you guys had fun. I've never even heard of that place before, but it looks like I'm going to have to look into next time we go to Vegas. My kids would love a place like that!

  2. I've always wanted to go to a place like that with the kids. I wonder if there is anything like that in Utah? If not, I'll have to put that on my list of things to do next time we are in sin city.
