Last Friday, we packed up the van and headed to Vegas for a roadtrip...
Paul had some recruiting to do, so we tagged along
It just happened to be 'red nose day' so the kids wore their cute shirts from Nannie on the way.
The pic below they are showing off their shirts in our hotel room.
After a nap, we changed our clothes and met up with Kristen, Kim, and Makaila for dinner...The kids were SO excited to see the baby...
We headed over to the Luxor for dinner....
The kids wanted to eat all these cakes....
Cheer Kim and Kristen!
The kiddos decided on pancakes for dinner.....yum :)
They LOVE Makaila
The next day, the guys headed to the soccer fields again, so we packed up the kids and headed down the strip.....

We FINALLY made it to the Mirage to see the tigers....well, things had changed and they are no longer out in the open to see....you have to pay to get into the tiger and dolphin sanctuary. The kids and I decided to go in and have a look.
It was small and really amazing. The cats were soooooo close!
This guy was a GIANT!!!
Logan was too scared to pose with Ella....he thought this was a real kitty :)
And then came the dolphins....
There were multiple areas with dolphins and you could get soooo close!
