Las Vegas - final post.

Last Vegas post! Sorry there are so many, but I make a book from my blog and I want to capture a lot of the pictures! Here we are by "The Vegas Sign", you truly haven't been to Vegas unless you get a picture by the sign. This view must be shared by all, because there are always so many people waiting for their chance for a photo shoot.

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the giant fish tanks at Caesars Palace. We were there for over an hour looking at all the fish and chasing the sting ray - awesome entertainment, especially since it is free!







There were a bunch of interesting people in Vegas, always providing the best entertainment in people watching. I think to many we provided a great chance to gawk as we walked past them, Mike pushing Savannah in a stroller, Emily and Brett running to keep up and me holding Liam in the baby carrier. People would just stop and stare, many would be counting out loud as we walked by. Seriously, you would think we had 10 kids! I think we were great entertainment. A lot of people stopped us and either said we were so brave to attempt such a feat or that we had a very cute family. I agreed to both statements.

Here is a guy on the sidewalk with a snake, we saw a couple of them. Brett was impressed and was excited to touch it.

Another random character, Spiderman was super chatty and continued talking to Brett as we were walking off; telling him to stay in school, make good choices and to not do drugs. He was a preaching Spiderman, Brett thought it was pretty amazing, to meet Spiderman on the streets of Las Vegas.


Treasure Island! We didn't stay for the show, it is no longer "Family Friendly" apparently. The kids were excited to see the Pirate ships.

Emily turned eight while we were on the trip. We celebrated by going swimming and then going out to dinner at The Rainforest Cafe. Super expensive place for the mediocre food, but the kids loved the atmosphere and had a lot of fun. I will post later about Em turning eight and her baptism.



M&M World is a must when on the strip. The kids had fun looking at all the fun M&M characters.

One of our favorite places to eat is a restaurant called "Gonzalez Y Gonzalez" in New York New York.
We shared a yummy drink.



I thought this picture was too cute to pass up! Liam's hat says "Lil' Ute"

In front of the Luxor.

We found a park on our last day there and the kids had a great time running around and playing.

A Daddy is a perfect place to snuggle and take a nap.


The rest of the kids napped while in the car on the ride to the airport. It was so funny to see them all doing the head bobbing while falling asleep.

Savannah in one crazy position! Mike and I couldn't stop laughing!


I love Liam's face here, so funny! This is in the plane on our flight home. We had such a fun trip, but honestly, the best thing was being able to spend so much time together.

I love your vacation picture filled posts, those are the most fun to look at. Seriously, you only have four kids. In Utah that's an average to small family. Obviously these crazy Nevada folk don't know what a big family really is!
