Las Vegas

We went on a week long family vacation to Las Vegas a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving.  We had a good time; it's always nice to get away from the day to day and do something new.  The weather was perfect- 70's mostly.  We went at the right time to get away from the below freezing temps that Denver was having.  We missed the first snow of the season.

The kids did good on the plane.  The boys sat on the same row with Cesar and they all watched a movie.  The flight was only a little bit more than an hour and a half.  Ruby sat on my lap and did pretty good.  The flight attendant gave her a cup full of ice and she loved it!  As soon as we sat down the man next to me said, "You've got to be kidding me"- apparently referring to having to sit next to a baby!  How rude!  On the flight back I actually had an empty seat next to me for Ruby to sit on.  I think it was the only empty seat on the flight- how lucky!  Ruby sat there for some of the time, but then she fell asleep on my lap for the rest of the flight- it was late at night.

We walked a lot in Legas and did a lot of stuff.  There is so much to see and do there.  Here are our pictures from the trip!

The highest observation wheel in the world the High Roller!  It takes you 550 feet up and takes 30 minutes to go around.  We went at the right time because it wasn't busy at all and we got the whole car to ourselves!

So, this was one expensive picture!  Cesar only had a $5 bill to tip him with.

The boys favorite day on the vacation was when we went to Circus Circus!  We spent most of the time at the indoor amusement park and they had a lot of fun riding all the rides over and over again.
