Vegas {Picture Overload}

Vegas was the perfect getaway, exactly what we needed. To start off Tyler found out right before school started that he had this week off for spring break. We didn't think he would have any time off from school so we decided we needed to do something. We didn't want anything big (I wanted Florida but haha that wasn't happening) so Vegas it was. I know a lot of people think Ew Vegas and kids, smoke, dirty, alcohol, blah blah blah, I'm not a big fan of you people. ;) Vegas is actually great for the kiddos, Gage and Kimberlee had a blast. They have tons of kid stuff, we actually didn't get to some of it. Gage was super kid during the entire trip. He slept great, played great, listened, and had so much fun. As a mom you know that if your child behaves your life is heaven!

Day 1 we left around 8a.m. We took two different cars to have more room and what not. We added Kimberlee in our car in Beaver, Gage was way happy about that!

Pulling into Vegas for my quite possibly 30th time in my life it was 70+degrees and the sun was shinning! Perfect!We checked in and didn't waste anytime hitting the strip. It didn't take us long to realize we might just look like sister wives with Tyler, 3 kiddos, and 3 ladies! haha M&M Factory was first, they loved it! Gage was hilarious during the 3d show, he kept trying to grab all the things coming at him.Shirley bought Gage & Kd these M&M phones that were a huge hit the entire trip. This is Gage talking away as we walked the strip.
That night we went to the Bellagio, then Caesar's Palace. We went to dinner at the cheesecake factory then made the walk back. Kiddos were tired and so were the adults!
Day 2. We woke up, got ready and headed to Ihop off the strip. Such a great idea, we ate a lot off the strip, avoided crowds, and wait times! We then headed to the dolphins at the mirage. I think Kd&Gage talked about dolphins non-stop the rest of the trip, they loved it! Perfect day for it too, it was hot, I actually comtemplated jumping in a few times!
We then headed back to our 'Castle' and got ready to swim! Perfect swimming weather and Gage warmed up to it fast! Kimberlee was a swimming fool and she helped Gage get the idea fast! If you can't tell from these pictures swimming was a big plus with our trip. Our families back in Utah were getting rained on and it was cold, haha!
That night we headed to a little park off the strip. It was really cute and Gage was extra excited to see the slide! He really has no fear with things like this and just goes, this will probably get him in some trouble eventually!
That night we went to Chilis for dinner, and bed by 9!
Day 3. We spent this morning at Circus Circus. It was a perfect time to go, and Gage and Kd were the only ones on most rides. Thanks to Shirley they didn't have to ride alone on most of them!
This was probably my saddest moment as a parent. Gage was not a fan at all of this train, his face says it all. I wanted to yell "stop the ride" but he got through it and maybe it made him stronger? Probably not!
After Circus Circus we went swimming again, another great afternoon by the pool!
It was our last night in Vegas, we did dinner at Panda Express=classy! Then waited in line for the pirates show. We had front row seats, kids were excited as can be, then of course it was canceled because of wind! We were pretty bummed.
We walked the strip a little that night then called it a night. We went to bed pretty early every night which is a plus with having kiddos. The sleep was much needed and enjoyed!

Day 4 was St. Pattys Day!

We packed up and headed home. Gage was so good in the car, he slept, watched some movies, colored, read, and sang to us a lot! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation! Great company, great weather, great entertainment, great kiddos, we loved it! I'm so happy we have vacationed lot already with Gage. I think it's very important to get your kids in different environments, with different people, having different schedules. I'm already brainstorming our next family trip! :)
