June 28 - July 3 (Las Vegas)
We took a few days to get away and went to Las Vegas. It was very hot
but we spent most of the time swimming in the pool and riding the
waterslides at our hotel. It was great to spend time as a family!
Faith loved riding the little Merry Go Round at the Las Vegas Mini Grand
Prix!
It was 108 degrees in Baker, on our way to Vegas.
We enjoyed going through the cactus garden, although our stay was brief due
to the heat.
Faith had her first taste of chocolate at the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory.
She loved it (Mommy's Girl!!).
The kids enjoyed lounging around the hotel.
Faith was dancing and singing along with the live music in downtown Las
Vegas.
Fun in the sun!!
We celebrated Evan's birthday a day early at the Rainforest Cafe.
We went to Chinatown in Las Vegas.
