This picture really sums it all up: fun in the sun, yet relaxing all at the same time:)

Our family went to Las Vegas last week. We got an awesome deal to stay at a condo for a week, so off we went!
We met up with my cousin Natalie while we were there, and she took us hiking at Red Rock. The kids loved it, and Cassidy really liked meeting her cousin Joshua. I'm holding her little girl Avery in the picture; she's so tiny and cute! And Natalie's new baby (not pictured) is to die for. I want a baby girl.
This picture makes me laugh; each and every one of them are pulling a funny face:
They had a way cool visitor's center at Red Rock.
Our condo had a nice pool with a beach, and a lazy river!
We met up with some friends we met on our cruise who live in Vegas. They took us out on their boat.
I tried wakeboarding for my first time, and got up on my first try!
Joel got up, too. It was a good day. Thanks, Sabrina and Jason!
We took the kids to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It was so cool!

MnM factory:
Cassidy was in heaven
We took the kids to the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. It was so cool! Ethan kept saying there were "scary fish"
Cindy and Joel in the human tank:
(the tank went up and over your heads in an arch, so you could see the fish all over)
I made Cassidy touch a stingray. You would have thought I killed her. She did NOT like it.
The kids liked the gardens at the Bellagio:
but then they fell asleep and missed the water show:
Joel had never seen it before
We sat through one of those "2-hour" presentations that turned into 3 1/2, just to get tickets to the Tournament of Kings. It (the tournament) was really cool, but those condo people can be pushy.

I won that mug I'm holding below by making the top 10 in the laser quest. Basically, you go in a room with security lasers all around, and try and get through them without touching them. It was a really cool game, and if it didn't cost $5 each time, I would have liked to see if I could do better.
We went to the Adventurdome at Circus Circus and the kids loved the rides:
They had a 4-d Sponge Bob Movie
This is Aria, a new casino at City Center:
It was a good trip, and a terrible drive home (Cassidy puked)...but it is nice to be home for a couple days, until we go to the cabin with my family. We're not even putting the suitcases away:)

It looks like you guys had tons of fun! I totally know what you mean about the pushy condo people. Joel and I went to a presentation once so we could get a free trip to St. George (that ended up being not-so-free). We felt like we went through Hell and back, like we passed a major test and can now qualify for the Celestial Kingdom. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but Man! Saying they are pushy is an understatement!
Woops! You're probably wondering who Little Miracle is. It's Marianne. I'm at my sister's house and didn't realize I was using her account.
Looks like fun! Did you take the kiddos to Tournament of Kings?? How'd that work out? I think I need a vacation! :)
