Vegas Vacation!

So I think I've mentioned that Mark works part time for his dad at Morph2o. They do soil moisture monitoring. There was a water smart convention in Vegas so they were going down and the kids and I tagged along! I wasn't sure what I'd do all by myself and two kids in Vegas while Mark was at the water conference, but we actually managed to have a lot of fun!

This was right before we left! Notice Baylee's new off white jog suit thing? I thought it would be comfy for traveling. . .
I bought some easy cheese before we left because i think it's a road trip staple food. About 30 minutes into our trip. Baylee kept asking for more crackers and cheese. . .

I thought she was eating them.

We didn't get to Vegas till about 7 or so at night because of our frequent potty stops!
When we got there we met Marks dad for dinner. Then the next day Mark went to his conference really early and I took the kids to the aquarium.

Baylee thought it was lots of fun! But the little stinker wouldn't use the bathroom when we got there because she was sooo excited to go see the fish. The whole time she was doing the little cross her legs potty dance, so I kind of rushed her through it so we could get to the bathrooms at the end! (But luckily we did make it to the potty in time)

Here is Owen with the crocodile!

Here is a komodo dragon!


here is Baylee and the crocodile!

here's a big fish!

That night we took the kids and walked the strip. We went the M&M factory and then we watched the dancing waters at the Billagio! I didn't take my camera but I took our flip so I'll try and post videos. . . not that this isn't enough pictures for one blog post :)

The second day we were there I found the las vegas zoo! I put it in the GPS and when we got there I thought it had to have been a mistake. . . It didn't look anything like a zoo! I guess the Las Vegas zoo is just really tiny! It reminded me of the Tracey Aviary in Salt Lake if you have ever been there.
But it didn't really matter to Baylee she still had lots of fun!

There is a tortes!

There is a lion.
Here is Owen! He was such a good traveler!

When Mark got done at the water conference that day we went bowling. There was a bowling alley at the hotel!






Here is Mark working hard at his Morph2o booth!

Here is the future CEO of Morph2o! ha ha!
this is some car Mark wanted to get a picture taken by. . . I can't remember why!

here we are at the Rainforest cafe. We decided to stop there on our way out of Vegas. By the time we parked walked through the casino to the restaurant and got back in the car I swear it had been like three hours!

I just had to take a picture of the $10 mac and cheese! Baylee had maybe one bite of it!

Last time we were in Vegas with Alex it was also a lot of fun (surprising with a 2 year old). I wish we could have gone to the aquarium. Its nice to go on family vacations and take a break from "life". :-)
