Vegas trip- fun for the whole family!

We had a great trip to Vegas last week. The Routson family came and stayed with us at our condo for the week. It was a great time! Here are a few things we did while visiting Vegas.

We made a trip to the old part of Vegas. They have a fun light show outside on a cool ceiling that covers the street. The boys were tired, and the music was loud. But I enjoyed it.


We showed the kids a cool pool at the Golden Nugget. It has a pool with a shark tank in the middle. And then it has a slide that goes thru the tank. Small pool- but cool to look at it. It cost $20 each to swim for the day if not staying at hotel. We almost rented a room for a night so we could take the kids. It would have been cheaper than paying individually to swim. Crazy. We decided to pass on it. :-)






Ok we had a weak moment in our diet. We stopped for a quick frozen custard. Yum Yum!
Todd and Sharolyn came for the weekend and we all got together for a dinner. It was fun to spend the evening together. I miss my family! Some of us are having a contest like the Biggest Loser - so we were trying really hard to watch what we were eating. Not fair with all the chips to eat!

The Boys- Steve was taking the photos.

The Girls!

Our condo pool had a little lazy river pool. Kids loved it! Westra kids came for the day!





A visit to the Hoover Dam! They just built a new parking garage and observation tour area. I liked this new statue of a worker on the Dam.

They are building a new bridge next to the dam. It will be a faster way to get to Arizona from Vegas. It is a really cool looking bridge! One more section left to go!











The kids liked the Movie "The Transformers" I found a real one at the damm. It must be an original transformer!

We took a tour way down in the dam. Pretty cool!
Easter at the Barnes House! We had a little hunt in the back yard. Afton's first hunt!

Brothers!

We also attended a very quick egg hunt at the condo pool. Tons of kids and a little candy. Andrew did ok. But Spencer and Vincent too slow to get any. :-(
