Hello Las Vegas

It's been a while since we've taken a good long trip to Vegas. And with the twins getting older we had good reason to spend some time enjoying all the sights.

We took some time to walk around Boulder City. It's a really neat little city. Highly recommend spending some time there.



We took the boys up to Hoover Dam. They loved it! They kept asking us to lift them up so they could look over the edge.





We walked across the new bridge out at the Dam, which is just incredible I have to say. These two engineering marvels suit each other well.




On the way home from the Dam we stopped at Lake Mead to feed the fish. The boys loved this as well!



We spent some time on the strip.



We showed Big H the lions at MGM-- he loves cats!



And we took the boys to M&M's world



We stopped at a local park so the boys could get some wiggles out.



We finished with a late night trip to Freemont Street-- the baby really enjoyed The Freemont Experience. Craig had never been, and now that he has hopefully we never have to go again. At least we weren't the only one's wheeling our kids around downtown at 11:00 at night.



This is why you have kids, so all those things that have lost a certain luster become like new. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed seeing the sights, in Vegas, like this. I really loved sharing something, that I've always loved, with my boys-- and actually getting response :).

Thanks to Aunt Pat and Donnie and Travis and Alisa for making this trip possible. We really enjoyed ourselves and appreciate you putting up with us while we enjoyed a good old family vacation!
