Our Vegas Adventures 2013

SURPRISE!!!

So, we decided to make a trip to Vegas and not tell my mom we were coming.  This was the result...one happy grandma with tears of joy running down her face.  PRICELESS!!!

A VISIT TO THE DENTIST
Since my mom works at a dental office, we took advantage of a free cleaning for our  whole family.
No cavities...YAY!!!
LUNCH DATE
Met up with my very good friends, Rachel, Anna, Melissa & her daughter Adri at the Fashion Show Mall for lunch at Grimaldi's.  Good food...good times...I miss my girls!!!
FAMILY TIME
Had dinner at Ping, Pang, Pong with my mom, cousin & her family, followed by some ice cream, too.  It's always so good  hang out with them!!  The kids have so much fun with their cousins.  
FONDUE FOR TWO
My friend Luda & I both had cravings for something yummy...Max Brenner at the Forum Shops had a delicious chocolate fondue for two that we shared.  The results...two happy pregnant ladies...and babies :)
THE OLIVE GARDEN
We filled up on bread sticks, soup and salad, not to mention pasta, on our last lunch with my mom & Jenelle. We were stuffed.


BIG BROTHER TJ
TJ couldn't join us this trip to Vegas, but we did the next best thing and chatted with him online and he treated us to some music on his guitar.  The kids loved dancing to his music :).  Thanks Teej...we miss you!!!
SPRING
The Conservatory at the Bellagio
PRETTY LADIES (and Chance)
I just love coming to the Bellagio and experiencing all the colors and smells of Spring.  A perfect place for picture taking with the family.

CALEIGH
Our beautiful girl looks so grown up.
CHANCE
This silly boy loves to make funny faces in front of the camera...can you tell?
CADEN
This is one serious little dude...but oh, sooooo cute!!!

DATE NIGHT
Greg & I rarely get a night out alone (it's pretty tough with 3 little ones), but we managed to sneak out one night, grab some In-n-Out Burgers, and do some sight seeing at the Bellagio.  Fun night!
PLAYING TOURISTS
We no longer live in Vegas, so we technically are tourists...again.  So, here are the kids, my beautiful mom, and me at Caesar's Palace.  
FUN IN THE SUNThe kids couldn't wait to get in the pool.  The weather was perfect in the 70-80's during our visit.  We had to soak up as much sun as we could before heading back to the cold in Canada.

MORE FUN POOLSIDE
My cousin Jen stayed at Mandalay Bay with her family and invited us to join them at the pool there.  The kids loved the wading area and the waves that came with it!

It most definitely was a fun 2 weeks in the beautiful, warm, sunny desert.  We almost didn't wan to leave, but unfortunately, all good things come to an end.  We'll miss you all.  Until next time....
