Viva Las Vegas

Grandma Jan and Grandpa Joe had some time to use in their timeshare so they decided to go to Vegas over UEA. We decided to go along and enjoy the free place to stay. So Wednesday Sept 30th we left for Vegas. Our first stop was at a place called Marley's. It's a restaurant inside a Harley Bike Shop. It was freezing cold but they had good food.



Later we stopped at the McDonald's in Cedar City just to stretch our legs. They have the best kids playground there. They have these climbing tunnels and slides but they also have a little ball court and free air hockey and basketball games. They had a little section that Oaklan could play in all by himself and he loved it.



So here's what the condo's look like. They say it's a 2 bedroom condo but it's really two seperate one bedroom condo's. So you open the first door and you see two more doors.



Each condo has it's own kitchen



It's own front room



And it's own master bedroom with a jacuzzi



We had taken Kennedy to Vegas a couple of years ago and she loved the water ride at Primm (it's about an hour away). We were hoping she was old enough to also go on the roller coaster so we headed out there and to our surprise they had closed all the rides during the week because there aren't enough customers to open it. We went back to the condo. Later we went over to the Bass Pro shop. They have a big aquarium with a live mermaid it it. We spent quite awhile there.






Then we went over to the Bellagio. We went and saw the fountain show. Oaklan was scared to death of them. Don't know why but he hated it when they went off. And we stopped in the gardens too. The is one of the tree's with a face in it.





The next day we went over to a shopping center that had this cool kids play area. There are tons of things to play on and there is a splash pad. We had alot of fun there.













Then after a trip to 'In and Out Burger' we headed over to the M&M world but parked at the MGM Grand. This was the view of the Lions that we got...we walked right under them.




Of course Kennedy and Dad visited the pool but it was freezing cold. Oaklan spent maybe 5 minutes there and that was it.





Saturday we ran back out to Primm to try to get that roller coaster in. Unfortunately it was so windy that they couldn't open it. We did get to go on the Water Log Ride and play in the arcade. (Sorry my Camera Phone didn't like the dark casino or the motion)




Then we packed up and headed out to 'Valley of Fire State Park'. We spent the afternoon exploring the red rock park.






We spent the night in Saint George at a family friends house. Thanks Mark and Julie! Then we drove home on Sunday. We left Vegas in the 80 degree weather and got home to the 40 degree weather. All in all it was a pretty good trip. Thanks Mom and Dad for inviting us.
