Las Vegas

We flew to California on Sunday and then drove to Las Vegas from there on Tuesday evening.  Neil had a conference there on Wednesday and Thursday and since we had a free room, we decided to just make a whole big trip out of it.  

We got checked in to the Cosmopolitan pretty late that night and were all exhausted.  Bear got to ride through the casino in style.  He wanted to play the slot machines SO bad!  Every time we passed them (which was a lot), he begged to play!

Another bed to jump on!  We had to wait even longer to go to bed once we got into the room because they hadn't delivered the crib yet!

Wednesday, Bear and I were on our own to explore and play.  We went across the street to the Miracle Mile shops for some snacks and some shopping.  He got the m&m cookie and only wanted the m&m's.

Then we went to the Bellagio to see the big fountains and the indoor garden.  He wanted to touch the water so bad but just couldn't reach.

Oh the fits.  I think he was throwing a fit this time because he wanted to go back over to the talking tree.  Just keeping it real, people.

The talking tree.

We met Daddy back at our hotel while he was on his lunch break.

He and Bear got to run around for a couple minutes.

Later that day we went to the m&m store where Bear got to pick a bunch of different colors of candy and then he ate them all in one sitting.  We're good parents like that.

Thursday, I took Barrett over to the Mirage to their little "zoo".  It was actually really awesome.
Bear loved watching the dolphins.

They had some white lions, white tigers, a few other types of big cats, and 3 BABY white lions!

None of these pictures are all that great because my camera just wanted to focus on the fence. This lion (I think it was a lion anyways) was super cute playing on the ball.  All of the animals were really active and fun to watch.

The dolphins doing some cool tricks.

Here's 2 of the baby lions.

There was also an under water viewing area that Bear really liked.

Thursday night, Bear and I flew home and Neil stayed in Vegas to meet up with some friends for the weekend.   We had a great week but are so glad to be home again!
