Vegas!


Ok, so we went to Vegas over Spring Break. It was just nice to get away and take a break!
We spent a lot of time walking around and going into the various Casinos. We ate the yummy buffet at the Bellagio. The desserts were my favorite; they were just too pretty to eat!
Following are just a few pictures we took.




























While there, we went to the National History Museum right off the strip. We thought that this trip we would go do fun stuff that we normally wouldn't do. It was quite interesting. This sting ray kept trying to get out and would bob his head up and down along the whole edge of the water tank. It was rather funny.


This was pretty cool. The little skeleton in the middle is that of a normal shark. The huge one is of like a prehistoric kind of shark skeleton they found fossilized. Can you imagine those teeth coming at ya when you're swimming in the ocean...it could swallow a human whole!




These little fish kept trying to bite at Dan's finger...it was pretty funny! They would follow his hand around....they thought it was snack time.


So, lame-o but I wanted a picture next to the M&M racecar so, of course, I had to pose with M&M's!









So, while we were in Vegas, some friends from our ward were on their way back up to Ogden from CA. Because Vegas was on the route, they stopped by and hung out with us for a night.

Here we found the Coca Cola bear...he was so cute and a lil bit creepy!


These boys are so funny! I swear, my mouth starts to hurt from laughing so hard! They just fuel off of each other!










We stayed at the Stratosphere so we got free passes to go to the top. We have already done the rides before so we didn't want to spend our money doing them. It is so pretty at the top!



Another pic of the silly boys!









So, we went up to where the big wooden horse is (I think it's Caesars Palace? Anyone?) and I wanted to go check out the educational toys section. I turn the corner and this is what I find...Dan playing with the cars! Who needs kids when you're married to the best kid ever! :)

So, that was our vacation. Don't count on continued lengthy posts with pictures. We don't have any fun plans set up for the summer!
