Our Trip to Vegas

 Our Trip to Vegas!
 My Husband and I need to talk a much needed vacation as we hadn't been on one for over 3 years and with having 4 kids you tire out very quickly so we decided to treat our selves after saving up to go to Vegas.. I know the City of Sin but there is lots to do there that is fun and doesn't involve any thing bad.. Our Trip started off by driving down to Cardston to drop of our kids at Darin's parents well Ethan and Rocky stayed there and it was such a beautiful night we decided to take a walk around Temple Square.. We Reflected on how long it had been since we had been on a walk with out kids and to our surprise it had been since our 1st year of marriage pretty much.. there was light rain that night but with the heat it actually felt nice.. there is nothing better than walking in the rain with someone you love unconditionally.. admiring the Lords House!
 Day 1.. We took a long trip down to Great Falls to Catch or plane.. and drove in a major rain storm on the way down. it was bad but got there in plenty of time before our plane!
 we finally get on the plane after being an hour late for Mechanical issues.. a Fuel Gage was not working so they had to fix it.. Scary but we made it to Vegas way later than we thought..
 Our first night in Vegas we decided to walk the strip at night because it was way cooler that way!
 Darin took a pick with Bumble Bee.. just so he could show Jaxon!
 just one of the Two buffets that we went to..It was good food!  (circus Circus buffet)
Day 2 we went to the Tresure Island show where they have a battle between two boats a boat of girl pirates and a boat of boy Pirates it was actually pretty cool it was with all sorts of music and fireworks it was a great time..

Day 3.. We started the day off by going to the CSI exhibit and it was awesome I think I enjoyed it way more that Darin did but I like that kind of stuff. we got to go through and actually solve a crime and we were emailed a certificate.. unfortunately it won't let me upload a the certificate but it is pretty cool! I would go back and do it again it was that fun..
 we decided that this year we would buy our kids stuff they could use instead of a t-shirt that would just end up getting to small for them so we visited the M&M store yeah like four floors of stuff was crazy I think we spent maybe like 2 hours in there! we even got to see a free 10 Min 3D Movie.. was awesome..

 Day 3.. we went to see Rock of Ages and it was so awesome it was great we were sitting in the nose bleed section at this point..
 but an awesome lady moved us up to VIP seating and we were put in the 3rd row from the front! 
Awesome..
 we got to sit in the Zebra print seats and we were all Rock Stars for the night!
 This was the cast.. they did a great job..
 After Rock of Ages we had to go see the fountain show at the Bellagio.. it was amazing as always..

 They did the fountain show to the PinkPanther music was epic!


 Day 4.. We saved the Best for last we went to the Wax Museum it was awesome.. can I just say it was creepy.. the wax figures looked exactly like the real Stars like all the way down to the color of their eyes it was very creepy to walk in a room thinking they were just going to start walking and then not move..








Day 5 We started our day off really early had to wake up at 4:15am  Vegas time to catch our flight at 8:00am or flight was on time which was nice.. we drove back to Cardston  and stayed the night but we got to see Les Miserables and I have to say they did such a good job they deserve to have a show in Vegas.. brought me to tears in many parts of the show.. Vocals were spectacular..

 Most importantly I got to spend this vacation with my wonderful Husband and I am so glad that we went.. We don't have a huge a mount of money but when you don't have a schedule and you save up so you can just do what you want it seems to make your vacation just that much better..
