Las Vegas Here We Come!

So Brian had a national PT conference in Vegas last week. Our good friends happened to have connections, and we were able to stay in a time share resort just off the strip for FREE! Needless to say we jumped at the chance and enjoyed a great few days in Vegas.

Brian had classes during the day, so we had to find things to keep us entertained while he was gone. The temp was in the 50's and I thought "Way to cold to go swimming" But Kyler wanted to dip his feet in anyway.

All bundled up at the pool. And then....

Yup, we're crazy! We decided to get in. The pool was heated and oh so warm, it was torture getting out and back to the room, but it was SO nice to be in the pool and feel the sun on our faces, even if it was a little cold.

This is the botanical Gardens and Belagio. It was decorated for the Chinese New Year. The panda bears in the background were all made out of flowers. It was pretty cool.

The ceiling in the lobby of the Belagio was all done by Dale Chihuly COOL!

I think seeing the fountains outside the Belagio was my favorite. They are just so neet. Brian has never been to Vegas so it was fun to watch him see them for the first time. Kyler liked them until they blew air through the pipes to make the big BOOM. Then he just wanted to go home :(

We went and saw the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay during Brian and Tylers lunch break. Kyler kept pointing at the fish and going "OH!!" It was way cute.

Out side of Excalibur. Brian and I ventured out on our own this night, with only my memories from 10 yrs before. Based on such, we totally got lost. But we had a good time none the less and saw some fun things.

The statues in the Forum Shops at Ceasers Palace. They actually are animated and move to a laser show of sorts.


Brian and Kyler spent some quality time at the hotel playground.

On our last day we went to M&M world. Kyler was totally freaked of the people in costumes. He behaved long enough for us to get a picture though.

On our way back to the car, we walked through MGM Grand, and the Rainforest Cafe called our name. It was WAY fun, and much more family friendly then some of the places we ate. Though a kids meal (mac and cheese) was $10!!! Highway robbery if you ask me. But the atmosphere was worth it. Kyler loved all the fish tanks, and the animals.

Brian got these toys at the conference, Kyler would run around the hotel bouncing them all over, he thought it was great. Thanks Tyler and Ashley for letting us stay with you and helping us have a wonderful weekend!
