VEGAS!!!

Russell and his family were in Vegas for the weekend, and after talking to my mom, we decided on Thursday that we would go to Vegas on Saturday. We went online and booked a room and we were off. My mom worked Friday night, so at 4 am on Saturday, I picked her and Richard up. By the time we packed the car and were ready, it was 4:30 am and we were there by 7:30 am. I don't know if I have ever gotten to Vegas that fast, but I was happy about it because I HATE DRIVING!!!

We ate the moment we got there at Denny's. The server put a cup of coffee and the creamer right in front of Taelyn and she grabbed the creamer and spilled it all over her. I got so mad! I told the server, she is so lucky that she didn't grab the coffee. I don't understand why servers would put anything in front of a baby.

After we ate, we met up with Russell Gigi and the kids. We went straight to the pool. My mom even got in! (That NEVER happens) We had a great time. Here are a few shots from the pool. The only time I even took the camera out.








After the pool, we washed up and went to lunch. Taelyn and I went back to the room to take a nap while everyone else went to Red Rock Casino. There is a really cool facility for kids while the parents gambled. When Taelyn and I woke up we met up with them there. I took Taelyn to the Kid Quest while I went to play poker. My mom, Russell and Gigi were there playing. By the time I got in a game, I played for almost an hour when the people at Kid Quest called me and told me that Taelyn was crying and I needed to get her. It was about time for dinner so we all cashed out and went to Excalibur so the kids could play in the arcade. At about 10:30 pm, I about had it and the kids were beginning to melt down. We went back to the room and called it a night.

When we woke up, we met up with the rest of the family for breakfast and then we headed back home. I am so glad we left when we did. We made it home in under 4 hours. It was a great impromptu trip, especially on a holiday weekend.
