Las Vegas...

We were able to take a vacation to Vegas on June 17th.  

It was a little stressful when we first got there and realized our week wasn't at the hotel we wanted.  

We thought we booked the Tahiti Village, but it was actually a hotel called Tahiti.  So if you ever go to reserve your timeshare they are two different hotels & Tahiti Village is the one with the lazy river!  Let's just say my kids shed a few tears when we figured this out!

It actually turned into just the kind of trip we needed...

RELAXING!

We really had such a nice time!

It turned out good because the pool was never too crowded.

We went swimming EVERYDAY!

My kids are little fish...

Libby & Sophie

Zack loves his mask & flippers!

Tyler loved finding the diving sticks!

 Me & Libby had fun racing each other!

 Sophie loved jumping in & out...We did it over & over!

 Love these girls!

 So grateful for Libby's help!

Steve came down to the pool to swim a few times, but he wasn't quite as dedicated as the rest of us!
Our family ate at our favorite buffet at the Treasure Island.

I don't know if it's actually the dinner that's our favorite, but the dessert is definitely our favorite!

 They have cotton candy!

That is Tyler & Zack's favorite part!

 Libby has better taste...cheescake, eclairs & fruit tarts!
My favorite was the chocolate covered macaroon cookie!

Then we rode the train to see the volcano at the mirage...

 Sophie was so excited about that!

She couldn't stop smiling!

Me & the boys!

Then my parents & Shelly came for a few days at the end...

 Which made it lots of fun!

My kids adore her (and my parents too of course)!

We always have fun visiting the Bellagio...

 The dancing fountains are our favorite!

Here we are in front of the hotel.

Just the girls!

The garden was beautiful this year!

 They had a bird theme with real birds in a cage.

All of the birds were made out of flowers too.

My kids loved it!

Sophie matched the sunflowers!

The kids found a place to cool off!

Here is the view of the Eiffel Tower..

It's funny how contrasting Vegas can be...You can go from beautiful & peaceful places to the drastic extreme  within a few minutes.  

It was shocking this time with what the girls walking around were wearing.  

We did have a lot of fun though & were so glad we could go & spend some time as a family... 

 It was a good time!

 So glad Shelly & my parents could come for a few days too!

My kids ADORE you!!

 Sophie sure loves her Pa-Pa!!

We are so lucky to have each other!

On the way back it only took us 11 hours because of a slow leak in our tire, but we sure were blessed to make it home safely!
