Vegas Baby!

Yup. A friend and I took the kids to Vegas for spring break. Cuz we're either the coolest moms ever, or the craziest. 2 moms, 5 kids, in Vegas? Must be the craziest.
This is a pretty good aquarium. We've been to a lot, and we enjoyed this one. Even Conner, who thinks he's too cool. Maybe because he is.

Um, I think this is in the Luxor. I was hoping for a peek at Cris Angel, but no luck, dang it.

Kids thought it was funny we could be in New York one minute, Italy a bit later, then even Paris. That's what Vegas is all about.
Woo hoo. A giant size bottle of Coke. We couldn't figure out how to fit it in the car to bring it home though. And really, it wouldn't have lasted very long, with the way someone drinks soda in our house.
M&M factory. We thought we had been to the factory. The one in Henderson. The lamo one in Henderson. Didn't know there was a cool one in Vegas. Now we do.

Conner being cool. Or frustrated at me for taking yet another picture. Nah, looking cool.

Right in front of the MGM. Did you know this hotel has the biggest bronze figurine in the western hemi-sphere? It says so, right on a nice little plaque. Oooo k then.

We had parked Caesar's, to go to the mall. Decided to go to Rainforest Cafe at the MGM. On the little maps you can get, it was only two blocks or so, and we could see it. Of course, scale in Vegas is a little off. Took us about two hours to walk there. Of course, that was avoiding the gross people handing out nude pics, and stopping to look at fountains. Oh yeah, did I mention this was about 11 at night. See, crazy moms.

At Caesar's, before we ventured out to experience Sin City at it's finest. Conner, Brianna, Melanie, Brady and Carson Bowerbank.
Paris. Just a hop away from New York. Amazing.

Ahh, 80 degrees and sunshine. It was about 20 in Utah, and 3 feet of snow. We might need to make a habit of this.

Enjoying the sun while we can. Blizzards in Utah.
