A few weeks ago we took a short trip Vegas to attend a relative of Bob's wedding. It turned out to be a cold cold weekend but it was fun. We stayed at Bob's parents house the first night and then finished the drive to Vegas the next day. That was quite the adventure! Bob didn't print off the hotel reservations so... I had to call my dad to check our email. I was trying to use my phone's little GPS thingy and Bob kept barking out commands to search for this, then that, all while he kept driving aimlessly in Vegas. We finally made a decision to stay at the hotel close to the strip. I thought it would be kind of fun to go to the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur. I couldn't think of a lot to do for kids in Vegas (too bad I didn't talk to one of my friends at work before... she has a whole list of museums, aquariums, etc.) but anyway Bob and Ryan weren't too thrilled. I told them, if they could think of something, we would do it, but there were no suggestions so we ended up at the Excalibur.
Bob and Ryan were good sports and Maddie was enthralled with the whole thing. She sat leaning forward in her seat for the whole show.
The next day we took Ryan to find some school clothes. He found a few shirts and a pair of shoes but he's very selective so we didn't find a lot. That evening we went to the wedding where the big kids had fun dancing. We tried to get Maddie on the dance floor but it was a very long day and she was tired and ready to head for the hotel. It was quite an amazing event, complete with cocktail hour, a yummy food selection and of course wedding cake. We headed for the hotel but took a quick detour down the strip and then headed for bed. The next day we returned to Bob's parents to relax for a few days before returning home.
Sad to say, these are the only pictures I took for the whole trip. I was slacking with the camera so after the trip, I realized I need to get my camera out more!
