Vegas Baby!

We wanted to go on a little trip with Taters before the baby comes. So, where else do you take a two year old for a family get away? VEGAS BABY! We love Vegas and had a great time. We had been talking about going to Vegas and telling Tate what it would be like. So, on the first morning we woke up in the hotel, Tate looked around and said, "What the heck? Is this Vegas?" :) We took him to the strip and walked around. Tate was a little overwhelmed by all the "big buildings" but there was so much to see. Here are a few pics/videos from our trip. (Note: Tate refused to look at me or smile in most photos.....maybe someday he will cooperate.)

I took this video of Tate on the drive down. He was actually really good in the car and slept most of the way.

We (of course) went to M&M World, which Tate wasn't too excited about. The little movie thing was closed, which he would have liked.

We also went to Gameworks and Tate loved that. They had virtual bowling (which involved throwing a real ball down a lane towards a screen), which he loved. Notice his little hands spasing in this picture. He couldn't stand not touching all the bowling balls. :)

Tate loves to drive the cars at arcades, but he won't let you start it (which makes it cheap for us!).

This is just Taters and I on the strip in front of New York New York.

Probably the highlight of the trip for Taters was the Bellagio. They had a garden display with thousands of flowers and giant insects. It was gorgeous and Taters really loved it.

Then, of course, we watched the water show at the Bellagio. Tate loved it and is still talking about it and asking if we can see more of the water show.


Another fun thing we did was go to Circus Circus. We played carnival games and rode rides and watched the circus performers.
We also went to Fremont Street (the old strip) to see the world's largest screen and the shows that they have. Tate loved the big screen and the show set to "American Pie".
This is just a cute picture of Tate eating a healthy breakfast on our last day. :)



We went swimming on the last day, which felt so nice for me! Tate was being quite the dare devil and didn't want to be held in the water. He kept saying "I just want to swim. Don't hold me!"
