Vegas Vacation...

Ah, the bright lights of Vegas.
There is nothing quite like it and what a way to spend a relaxing weekend. Our plan was nothing more than to lay by the pool and go swimming all weekend long.

Hailey rode down with my parents the day before we left. That definitely worked out in our favor because she got to watch movies the whole way down. I had also packed her a bag with some snacks, coloring books and other car friendly entertainment. My mom said that she did great! (Probably better than me, I had severe ADD from Mesquite to Vegas.)
The first day of our Vegas trip started off with Hailey wanting to paint Greg’s toe nails. I was pretty impressed at how well she did; so I have made the decision to start making her earn her keep and she is now giving pedicures. Please call to check availability and make an appointment. Right now she is pretty open, but I think with this advertising she will book up pretty fast.



Anyway, the first day at the pool we walked down and saw a family that had a floating car for there little boys. Hailey of course loved it said she wanted it, I think I remember telling her that it wasn’t ours so we couldn’t use it. A little later Grandma and Grandpa were swimming with Hailey in the lazy river and we see Hailey go by in the car. She is yelling at me and Greg to look at her honking the horn and trying to run Grandpa over. I guess my mom had talked the people into letting Hailey use the car for a little while. (Anyone who knows my mom knows that she can talk anyone into anything, but they weren’t using the car anyway so it probably wasn’t hard to convince them.) My mom had told Hailey that she got one turn around the lazy river and then they had to give the car back. The guy was helping my mom get Hailey out of the car after her turn and she looked at the guy and asked him if she could have another turn. The guy told my mom that they weren’t using it and she could use it until they were ready to leave. While my mom was talking to them she also found out that they had bout it at Babies R Us and she was convinced that we needed our own. I knew that this would make watching Hailey in the pool so much easier and she would love it too, so that night my mom and I went to try and find one. The store we went to didn’t have one and the lady tried two other stores and they were out as well. She told us to try Toys R Us because they carry the same products. She gave me the address and because it was already late I decided I would make Greg go with me the next day. We ended up finding the car (the only had two left) and she was able to play with it the rest of the trip. It was the best $8 that we spent the whole trip.


Monday night we went to dinner at Margaritaville which was so much fun! They had pirates on stilts walking around and making balloon hats. Hailey really liked the guy that made our hats for us but she wouldn’t wear hers until all of us had them. It was really entertaining there and the food was great! I can’t wait to go back on our next trip. After dinner we walked over to the fountains in front of the Bellagio and watched those for a little while. Hailey loved it, although she was really concerned when she saw ducks in the water but then couldn’t find them after the fountains show.

send me to vegas! To me that seems like one of the most relaxing places in the world and I have no idea. Probably the hot sun, roller coasters and a lot of water to swim in with my girls

Sounds like you had a ton of fun! I can totally hear your mom convincing the family to borrow their car. She wheels and deals like no other.
