So since our cruise got pushed to the summer we decided last minute to go to Vegas for spring break and do all things kid friendly that were there.

I'd say we were pretty darn successful in accomplishing that task too.
We flew in late on Friday night and our flights were all delayed due to thunderstorms in Our city as well as Dallas. But thankfully both were delayed so we made the flights and got there a bit late but got there non the less. We drove the kids down the strip that night and then went to the MGM where we were staying. Saturday we did some hotel touring and saw the aquarium at Mandalay bay...which was good but we are pretty spoiled since we live 10 min from sea world which puts most fish places to shame.


We passed a crazy sock place and the boys got some superman and batman socks complete with capes and Macy got some cute slippers. I found a cute hat.. Then we went to NyNy and rode the roller coaster 2 times... Pretty good ride the front seats were voted to be better than the rear by Dale. Then to our hotel for swimming. The lazy river was packed but fun...albeit a bit injury inducing... Reid scrapped his knees, duke sliced open his big toe and cut another, my leg was cut, Dales sides were scrapped....I think it's time for some re plastering. It was ok in the water but once you got out it was just cold. We ate at rainforest cafe that night for Macy's bday. Sunday we did a bit more hotel seeing did the forum shops and met Dick Butkus, he is quite the jokester...





then went to game works for some unlimited arcade time. that that night went to Fremont street and the boys did the zip line








then we went on the the stratosphere and rode the big shot and toured the observation deck.


Dale decided when he is 14 he wants to do the skyjump...you jump of the stratosphere in a "controlled descent"...its crazy fast but looks cool. I was pretty proud of Reid he is not really a roller coaster junkie... i think he just likes them because Duke and Dale do... but he did it like a champ. Monday we grabbed breakfast with brad who was in town for the race with the thunderbirds and Then headed to do indoor skydiving. It was very cool... a second time for me but a first for the kids and they loved it.








Then we went to Circus Circus and did all that the adventure dome had to offer...laser tag, bumper cars, coasters.... uncrowded and pretty good rides too, not the big shot but fun and Dale and Reid won the Chicken Chunkin contest in the arcade and we came home with a family of stuffed hippos a dog and a cow from our arcade efforts. That night Duke and I went out for our anniversary and the kids saw the Lorax movie. We ate on the strip, went and saw the Belliago show...my favourite, and walked through some of the new shops. We tried to gamble but could not find a table open and Duke decided to wait on a seat and I went to the room to relax....I am all about gambling but not gonna wait for a seat. We did play 5 bucks for each kid on slots they picked... but they did not win anything....a reid really wanted that car!
We also went by the pawn stars pawn shop...we went back durring the day but decided not wait in line to get in the shop


Tuesday Duke told me he wanted to get me a purse i was eyeing for our anniversary and since he did find a seat at a table and did win...i agreed that I would love the purse...so we picked that up and pretty much headed out to the airport .... no issues on the way home. Dogs survived the kennels, and spring break is a wrap and a successful one at that.
