Vacation

Okay, so I have definitely been slacking on the blog front the past couple of weeks.  We were in Las Vegas for 5 days visiting my grandma and taking Corbin to see everything there (well..... not EVERYTHING).  We had an absolute blast!  I havent uploaded all the pictures from my camera yet (tho, I didnt take very many), but I do have the pictures that I took from my phone when I would forget my camera in my car.    I will post them in a second, first I will tell you about everything we did!

We got there, and just relaxed for a little while, and then we started hitting up the malls.  Then we relaxed the rest of that night also.  The next day we went to the strip.  We went to the M&M factory and Corbin lit up like a kid in a candy store (maybe becasue he was a kid in a candy store).  It is 4 floors of M&M stuff, and an entire wall of every kind and color of M&M that you can find!  It was so amazing to watch my little guy get so excited over it.  I loved watching his face.  I have those picture on my camera, so I will post them later. =)  Then we went to the Secret Garden's which is where Sigfried and Roy's Tigers and stuff were.  We got to watch dolphins eat, and 2 baby Tigers being bottle fed, and a few other amazing animals also. Corbin also loved this.  It was so cool!   Then it was past nap time, so we let Corbin nap and we relaxed.   The next day we did a little bit more shopping, and then we went to the Mini Grand Prix, and let Corbin play.  Clynt and Corbin rode Go-Carts several times, and then their were several small rides for Corbin also.  He had soooo much fun there too.   After that we went to the Spings Preserve which is like an Environmental Education grounds, their were playgrounds, lots of animals, museum type stuff, bird shows and so on.  Corbin loved it too.  It was a very interesting place to visit.  Then, yet again it was nap and relax time. =)  The next day we headed to Red Rock Canyon and Corbin and Daddy got to climb rocks and mountains.  Had we let Corbin, he would have been to the top of the mountain with the actual mountain climbers, but we contained him a little.  Yet again, these pictures are in my camera so you will have to wait to see them!  After that we all needed to nap.  That night GiGi watched Corbin and Clynt and I went to the strip and watched "O" by Cirque Du Solei.  It was an absolutely incredible show!  We were both SOOOO glad that we went.  We then caught the midnight water show outside the Bellagio, and drove the strip to just look at the lights (which Clynt had never really seen).  We played a few slots and headed home.  We were TIRED!  The Final day we were there Clynt wanted to go back to the Grand Prix.  Since it was NASCAR weekend in Vegas, they had a NASCAR there for people to look at, and the manager was quite fond of our little boy, that he let Corbin get into the car and we got some cute pictures!  Corbin was in Heaven and his daddy was so proud! lol.  We also went back down to the strip to get a few t-shirts for the boys.  Very cute.  Our plane left at 6 that day, so we went back home to nap and pack.

It was an incredibly fun Family Vacation.  I couldn't have asked for a better time (other than to get to stay a few more days!).

Okay, here are a few pictures that I had on my phone:


Corbin excited to be in the NASCAR! =)

Focusing on driving.  As I type this, he is looking at the picture saying, I was driving! 


Riding the go-carts, Corbin wanted to be in a blue one every time, so Clynt would strategically place himself in line. haha.

Riding in the little airplane.  He LOVED that ride.  Clynt...... not so much!



Corbin's favorite slide ever. Clynt about killed himself walking up the stairs a million times. 


The ceiling at "O".  It was amazing and a clown came down from it. 


From our seats, before the show.  It was amazing to be in the balcony because we go to see the water they were diving into perfect.  AMAZING show!!


Waiting to get into the show!


My Virgin Pina Colada to have in hand while walking around the casino. =)

I will try to load our other pictures while Corbin is snoozing this afternoon.  We are still getting accustomed to the time change, so Im not really sure when that will be.  I think we are going to MOPS this morning, and relaxing at home the rest of the day. Maybe park time will be in order this afternoon. We miss being on vacation sooooo much, but it is nice to be home.  Im in my last week of the second trimester, and Garrett is going like a week.  We have a doctor Appt next week and then it's every other week for a while.  Life is going great!
