Brandan and his Dad had a conference in Las Vegas so we decided to tag a long and have some fun with grandma while "Daddy" worked.
First things first, shopping. We went to the forum shops at Caesar's Palace and of course had to take a picture by the horse.
Addie took a picture by Aunt McKenzie's Boyfriend at FAO Schwartz. This is called an Ugly Doll and it couldn't be named any more accurate. They had all these "ugly dolls" for sale I mean I was blown away that they thought people would actually buy these.
They are so...um.... ugly.
The girls had to ride the life size animals. I love this store we could pretty much just play with everything and then leave. After the toy store we went and watched the fishies in there big aquarium. The girls couldn't get enough of that.
Then we ate at Cheesecake Factory!!!
When we got done shopping we went over to the Mirage and went to see the new baby dolphin and the baby tiger. They don't do any shows but you can get pretty close to them.
Here is the baby dolphin. It took everything I had not to get in there and swim with him. He was so cute and little.
The Mom and baby.
Ok so here is something interesting they told us before we went into the garden, they said "Lions mark their territory by lifting up there tail and spraying urine. So if the lion turns around and lifts its tail at you run for cover, and the can spray up to 20 feet"
So I am looking at the lion and growling at it, and I look down to get my camera and I feel this sprinkle all down the side of my arm. YEP! sure enough that stupid thing sprayed urine on me. I was so embarrassed. I got out my Purell and took a little bath.
It happened again to someone else later so I didn't feel that dumb.
We were pretty tired at the end of the day. We went to go check into our hotel and rest.
We got lucky our room at the Planet Hollywood (which I would highly recommend best stay for $89 I have had) had a view room that looked out onto the fountains at the Bellagio. The girls loved watching from our room but we really couldn't here the music that far up but it still was amazing.
Another thing that Wendy taught me was to Valet Park. The best thing I have ever learned, all you do is tip them thats it and you don't have to walk through those scary parking garages with kids.
Taylor, Brayden, and McKenzie (Brandan's brother and sisters) all came down the night before. Planet Hollywood has these Miracle Mile shops and they are great and have great stores. Build-a-Bear was one of them so we all went in and made a bear. Thanks to Grandma.
( Thanks Wendy for providing the fun) above is "the heart ceremony" those of you who have been to build-a-bear know what I am talking about.
Washing the bears.
washing the bears, (cousin) Jesse is wondering where the water is.
The girls walking through the casino back to our room with there bears on their backs.
A girl and her bear.... in a casino :)
