We decided to take the kids to Las Vegas for Spring Break. We have been there so many times, but we usually only visit family. This time we decided to take the kids to a couple shows and do a little sight seeing. But, we also got to see our families- and we loved that too!
Living in Arkansas and Minnesota for so long means that our kids are not used to the Las Vegas way of life, even though we lived there for a few years with 3 of our kids.
I am not a fan of large cities and busy roads, I like our slower paced city where you rarely hear any sirens of any kind.
We took the kids to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign- it's just something you have to do! While there we saw a couple get married by and Elvis impersonator, and he also sang to them.
We really enjoyed Blue Man Group, it was fun, and great for the entire family.
Mystere was so good! The kids all loved the acrobatics and they also loved the casinos. They thought it was amazing that there were so many stores, even a mall inside a casino.
We also went to Hoover Dam for some sight seeing. We were going to do a tour but the girls wanted to just walk around and see for ourselves- a 3 hour tour didn't seem very appealing to them.
We were able to spend Easter with both Grandma's and a lot of cousins. We really miss family- it's never easy being so far from them.
After every trip we are glad to get home and back to normal- but the ache to live by family never goes away.
