Vegas Day #1

Yay Vegas!! Who doesn't like Las Vegas? I hadn't been for a couple years (and granted I was only there from 11pm-4am so I feel like I haven't seen it all) and Kirk hadn't been since since he was a little boy! So when my parents invited us to go with them during spring break of course we said yes! My dad had to drive straight to California on Monday so we drove 2 cars! 

Alyn & Bishop

My dad's car in front of us with him and my mom

One of the first places we stopped was (well, for gas and food) but the next stop was the Hoover Dam! The semi new bridge has been built and lots of people were pulled over looking at it and over it! Its really high up! 

Welcome to NEVADA!!

Kirk and my dad

Apparently Kirk and I both have sensitive eyes cause we could

 barely keep them open for a picture! haha

There was hardly any parking left so my dad parked at a dirt pull off on the side of the road! When we were walking back from the bridge a cop car was there and (worrying that my dad got a ticket) we started rushing over there! The cop was looking around and down the cliff worried that someone might have fallen or jumped, so my dad reassured him we were just there to park so he let us go! Phew!
We kept driving and finally made it to Las Vegas! We were all pretty excited to get there!

We parked somewhere and took a few hours to walk around and enjoy the sights! I think we were the only ones there that werent drinking or already plastered! haha We went in and out of all the hotels and casinos just like every other tourist! We couldnt really sit and relax in the casinos cause Alyn and Bishop are still underage so we kept wandering around!

Were impossible to see here but we finally got the see the Bellagio fountain go off! It moved to a Michael Jackson song! A street performer that did magic stopped by us and said "can I show you a trick?" we just all stood there cause none of us wanted to give him money! He performed a little trick and we all just stared at him! Once he realized he wasnt getting any money he just looked at us and said
"you all have a good night" and walked away! haha

At 7pm we had tickets to a show called the Variety Show! We waited in line at this mall and got pretty good seats! There were a bunch of different acts! The host was "Wally" and he juggled and made jokes...everyone kept saying "Go Wally, go Wally, go faster" it was a pretty entertaining show!

We stopped at the M&M store! It was pretty cool! TONS of M&M stuff...different colors, flavors and lots of clothes and memorabilia! 

After we were tired of walking we got in the car and drove down the freeway to find out hotel! It was a ways off the strip but it was fine because it was much quieter! My parents got Kirk and I our own room which was awesome!
