Las Vegas

Who says you have to be 21 to go to Las Vegas? Well Ari wasn't listening to them anyway. We took a little family vacation to Las Vegas last weekend. Thanks to Aunt Piper who was kind enough to let us crash with her and even gave us the bed. After a 10.5 hour trip to arrive in Vegas because of road construction, an accident on I-17, Hoover Dam traffic and lunch, we had a good time. Ari did exceptionally well in the car for as long a trip as it was. Alas he didn't sleep much better while we were there, thanks in part to his 9 month growth spurt.

Mom and Ari at the M&M's store, he wasn't that impressed.
Hanging out in front of the Bellagio waiting for the water show. We didn't actually see it till the next day after we looked up the schedule, we were an hour early for it to start on Friday.
Our first dip in the pool as a youngster. It wasn't super warm but it was heated enough he liked it just the same.
With Mom at the Bellagio flower exhibit in the botanical gardens.
A lion fish at the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef.
Cara and I also went and saw the Cirque du Soleil KA show at the MGM Grand on Saturday night. Thanks again to Aunt Piper for taking her only night off the watch Ari while we went out. The show was awesome and I'm sure we'll take in one of the other Cirque shows next time we are in Vegas. We have decided to go back when Ari is a little older and can stay with one of the Nana's for a long weekend.
