Vegas, baby!

So, since Parker's birthday, not a whole lot exciting has happened.  The kids go to school, Camden does soccer, Parker started his therapeutic horseback riding up again, and we're back to our regular routine.  Soooo, Paul thought it would be fun to shake things up a bit, and we headed to Las Vegas last weekend during Camden's trackout!  Yep, all four of us.  We are still trying to adjust from going to pacific time and then back to eastern time again, but other then that, we had a great trip!  Here are some highlights:

Inside view from our hotel room inside the Luxor.  Camden and Paul were so excited to stay inside a pyramid!  It was pretty cool

My view from the pool as a sat and read a book.  Now that is what vacation is all about!

A view of the New York, New York hotel,.  So cool from the outside!

M&M world

The strip

Red Rock Canyon.  This was one of the highlights of our trip! We all would have liked to have done some more bouldering and hiking, but Parker's wheelchair wasn't really compatible with that.  It was truly beautiful, though.

Camden is proud of his climbing-hence his "strong man" pose.

So nice to have a budding photographer so it can look like I actually go on vacation now!

View from hoover Dam-the new bridge is as impressive as the Dam is!  Camden was duly unimpressed, as I remember I was when I was younger

Hoover Dam 

Lake Mead-the water was so blue!

Camden in front of the Las Vegas LDS temple, where he tells us he would like to get married.

Just chillin'  I love this pic of my boyz!

Paul and I at the cactus garden.  We went to the Ethel M. chocolate factory-but there wasn't a whole lot exciting going on.  We did enjoy touring the cactus garden, though.

Aquarium at Silverton casino

And we were just in time for the sting ray and shark feeding!  Very cool to watch.

Jelly Fish

The knights from the "Tournament of Kings" show.  Camden enjoyed eating with his hands and watching all of the cool medieval fighting.

The evil knight

We also got to see "The Lion King" on stage, which was a really cool show.  Who knew? (OK, I guess everyone since it is a very popular musical.)  It was fun for the four of us to just hang out and see new things.  We enjoyed one day where we bought the all day, all you can eat buffet.  After breakfast, I was good for the rest of the day!  But we went back for lunch and dinner :)  We also caught the volcano in front of the Mirage and some of the water show in front of the Belaggio.  Lot's of cool things to do, but we are glad to be back home....oh wait, Camden already left for Florida to visit his grandparents for a week!  I'll have to download some of the pictures that he takes and let him blog about his trip to Florida next!
