Vegas and St George

The kids had a long break from school this October, 4 weeks to be exact, and I decided to take them down to Las Vegas/ St. George for a vacation.  Me and the kids left on a Wednesday afternoon and made the 6 hour drive down to Las Vegas.  Aaron was going to fly into Las Vegas on Friday where we would pick him up to finish out the vacation.  

For lunch we stopped at our favorite hamburger place: In-n-Out Burger.  We couldn't find a place to sit, so we made an impromptu picnic in the back of the Escalade.


We basically spent most of our time swimming at the pool, which the kids couldn't get enough of.  And I made them go to my favorite home decor store, Kirklands.  On Saturday, after Aaron joined us, we decided to go to the Children's Museum in Las Vegas.  The kids had so much fun!  It was hilarious to watch Alex.  It was like he was the Road Runner, quickly running from one exhibit to the other.  He was so excited with all the activities.  

Adam, Abbi, and Alex, and even Mom and Dad had fun creating HUGE bubbles at this station.




Alex's favorite was this station.  He loved "fixing" the car.



And, what Children's museum would be complete without the "Grocery Store" Station?




Here is Abbi and Alex in the hurricane tunnel.


The second half of our trip was spent in St. George.  Here again, we swam and swam.  We got out of the pool long enough to do a little miniature golfing ( I won, by the way) and race cart driving.




We also stopped by the St George temple to take some pics.

The Childrens Museum there looks like so much fun! I wish the Seattle Museum had a place to work on cars and a bubble station. I would spend hours doing that!
