Las Vegas Family Trip

We decided to go to Las Vegas as a family.... (what the H*!@l were we thinking?!?!) Luckily, my mom, dad, Kris, and Uncle Jimmy came along.
There was talk about not taking the kids, and I was on board, but Aaron wanted to take them. I'm glad we did, sort of.


The ride up there was long and tough. Towards the end, Lexi had thrown every toy given to her on the ground. Jeffrey had played with almost every toy in the car. Both had their fill of snacks.
We made it. Aaron and I ate and took the kids right to the pool. The first night, the kids were restless and the buffet was almost a disaster. The kids enjoyed the lights on the strip. All was great until Lexi pooped and stunk up the car. Aaron took the kids for the night, and I went out with the adults. We had a lot of fun that night. I only play $5 bucks for 3+ hours and the kids were angels going to bed.... Or so I thought. We woke up the next morning to this sight
Granted we did not have a "Hangover" night, but how did we get a dolphin in the middle of our floor without noticing it?
Day 2 was great. This time we did the $25 all you can eat buffett all day. Holy cow! I've never eaten so much in my life. Day 2 was hanging out at the pool, playing some games, a trip to Target(no Ponce/Kavanagh trip could be complete), and the M&M Factory and attempting to see the lions at MGM
Day 3 we played at Circus Circus and had more fun in the pool. My parents took the kids for the night and Aaron and I were able to go to the Burger Bar once more. We met up with Kris, who took me away from Happy Days machine, and went off. Kris and I are very different gamblers. She likes the tables, I like the video poker. We got a drink at Dick's and after I recovered from brain freeze, she went back to the room.
Aaron and I stayed a little longer downstairs, and got a call from Kristina. She said Dog the Bounty Hunter was in the casino. After no Dog sightings we went up to the room.
On the way home we stopped at Bob's Big Boy. I've LOVED that place since I was a kid. It was a great ending to a great trip.
