Las Vegas with the Gunns!!! (July 2011)

Our great friends the Gunn's invited us to come along to Las Vegas for a night. Being a short 3 hours away we decided to tag along. We left bright and early Thursday morning and headed to Las Vegas. We first stopped at the Rio world Buffet and paid lots of money for lunch. It was good, but to me everything had a fishy taste (I hate fish) so it didn't taste quite as good as I think everyone else thought it did. But we were stuffed to brim anyways. We then just started walking around the strip and taking in the sights!
Seth's first Buffet---Pizza, fries, and a roll!
The pool at the Rio (where we stayed) was closing early for a concert so we couldn't swim, but we let the boys play in the foot showers for awhile to cool off and get soaking wet.

We then took a shuttle from our hotel to the strip!!! I think the boys liked not being in Car seats!!




Seth was pretty mad about being in the stroller, and having shoes on. But the kid wanted to be held constantly ..look at him he's huge. He has to ride in the stroller sometimes to give us a break.
The Aquarium at Cesar's Palace quickly turned the grumpy guy into a happy guy!


Looking at the flower art in the Bellagio.....I am sure Ryan is stretching out his back from carrying Seth.








I was trying to capture Seth's face as we were watching the water show. PURE JOY!!! We stayed for 2 shows the boys loved it so much
We saw Buzz and woody on the street so we had to get a picture. Seth was completely terrified...but as we were walking away he started to say, "Bye Woody, Bye Buzz."
The next morning after a great sleep in our king size bed, we went swimming. The pool was cool because it was a zero entry pool with sand at the bottom. But it was so hot, so we didn't last as long as we thought we would.
Jumping was lots of fun!!










MGM grand


We were able to see a Lion feeding at the Lion habitat. The boys thought it was so cool!!

Then we parted ways and started on our way home! It was a great little get away that was the perfect length. Thanks for the invitation Gunns.

Gads we were SO glad you came! Very fun. We need to make that a tradition ... even though we'll probably live far from each other. Maybe we could meet in Vegas or Panguitch or something? Who knows. Also, I love the tan lines on our hotties. So precious!
