Thanksgiving in Vegas

Due to scheduling with other in-law families, our family did a Thanksgiving dinner Wednesday night. This left us free of extended family activities for the remainder of the week. So we wanted to take the kids on a quick, slightly warmer, trip. Vegas is a pretty good option, so off we went! We left Thanksgiving morning and had a pretty easy-going drive.

 

First of all, we stayed at Trump International and they gave all the kids sunglasses at check in. Thus the glasses in all the pictures!

 

The Bellagio Atrium decked out Fall style. Always so darling. :)

Seeing the fountains.

The Ethel M Chocolate Factory in Henderson has this huge cactus garden that they deck out in Christmas lights this time of year. It was pretty cool! Of course a flashing camera doesn't really capture it, so you'll have to take my word for it. :)

Guess how Elise feels about large, dressed up characters...? 

Her face says it all :) Poor thing. It was pure torture. 

It was even warm enough to swim all afternoon. The kids loved that, of course! 

 

The lighting was perfect when I was capturing Elise, so I went a little crazy. Like always. :)

 The last night we did a little buffet, Pirate, and Mirage Volcano action.  

That is Joey asleep in the stroller. He woke up long enough to see the volcano show and then spent the next three days asking to see it again.
