On Sunday we went to Sacrament Meeting in a Las Vegas ward and then had lunch at a park.
Tyler loved walking along the railing on the playground equipment and was sad when we had to leave.
After the picnic we headed to see the Hoover Dam.
We were intrigued by the construction of this bridge that will cross the Colorado River way above the Hoover Dam.
We stayed at Circus Circus, but not in the hotel/casino itself. We avoided the smokey atmosphere and stayed in the part called "Circus Circus Manor."
On Monday we visited the Stratosphere.
We started out the day eating breakfast at McDonald's. Yum. . . pancakes.
Here we are at the top of the Stratosphere.
Tyler and his railing
Greg, Kimberly, Derek, Tansy, Jonathan and Nathaniel were the brave ones who tried some or all of the rides at the top of the Stratosphere.
In the afternoon Kimberly, Tansy, Tyler, my mom and I headed to the outlet stores and had a grand time shopping. Here's the stroller sans Tyler, but loaded with our purchases.
Later that night we went to the Silverton Aquarium. We were able to see the trainer feed the stingrays.
Right next door to the Aquarium was the Bass Pro shop. Here's Tyler by his beloved railings.
Starting the next day with pancakes at Denny's.
On Tuesday we walked along Las Vegas Boulevard, a.k.a. The Strip.
Here are Darrell and Tyler by the fountains in front of the
Paris Hotel and Casino
We HAD to make a stop at M&M World.
New York New York
We loved the indoor gardens at the Bellagio.
I don't have a picture of this, but while we were at the Bellagio we let Tyler crawl around on the huge beautiful rug in the lobby. At one point he laid his head down, put his bum in the air, and stayed there for awhile. People began taking pictures of him. It made us smile and wish we would have gotten a picture too.
Back at the Circus Circus there were toys to be won at the carnival games. My dad won this huge horse and gave it to Tyler.
Tuesday evening we headed to a Chinese restaurant and then to Fremont Street where they project shows on a HUGE covered walkway.
On Wednesday morning we started the day at McDonald's. Tyler wasn't such a fan of his McGriddle Happy Meal.
Darrell and I took advantage of a babysitter (thanks Mom) and attended a session in the Las Vegas Temple.
We met up with the rest of the crew at the Adventuredome inside Circus Circus.
Darrell, my dad and I played a round of miniature golf. Darrell and I were OK, but my Dad was definitely the victor.
Kimberly took Tyler on the carousel and he loved it. Thanks Aunt Kimbo!
My two guys hanging out
Darrell took Tyler for a swim in the pool
Later that night Darrell and I went to see Donny and Marie. The show was great and we had a really good time.
We caught the fountain at the Bellagio afterwards
The next day we headed home. =( But we couldn't leave without a trip to IHOP for Tyler's preferred breakfast. . . pancakes.
We had such a TERRIFIC time. Thanks Mom and Dad!
