"The Place with the Rooms and the Beds in it"

We decided to spend a night in Las Vegas on our drive home from Idaho. Sort of a last harrah for our little trip. Matt asked for a four star hotel for $55.00 on priceline or something like that and we got a really nice room at Planet Hollywood.
This is a picture of the bathtub. The boys thought they were in heaven.

A funny story about Nathan. On our way to Vegas he asked me if we were going to "the place with all the rooms and the beds." We thought that was pretty cute.

They were fasinated with Las Vegas and the lights and the big "place with the rooms and the beds" where we stayed, but a funny thing happened to me being there with my children. I noticed the bad things much more than I ever had before. I guess when we've been there alone I could block things out easier, or at least try to ignore them. With children I noticed everything: the naughty places and the half naked ladies on billboards. And, as everyone knows, you have to go through the casino to get to the hotel rooms. I used to stroll and check things out, but with my kids I practically made us run. I didn't want them to see all the bad.

We still had a good time but as we were leaving I told Matt that I wouldn't want to be on the strip during the second coming because it's going to be one of the first places of destruction. Then we made plans to visit there next time without the kids:)

  1. So cute. I love the little heads sticking out of the bathtub. And Jaylyn looks so cute with all of the snow stuff on. She's a lot more brave then Josh. He only likes the snow for a little bit. And I can't ever go out there with him because I have Tyler in the house. It's kind of a bummer. I've wanted to go out and play with the kids for forever.

  3. WELCOME to the blogging world. It's great to see it! I love that your reaction to Vegas was totally different kids. That made me laugh because I could totally picture you running through the casino yelling "don't look!" "don't look"! :)

  4. Love your blog!! So cute! I wish I could say that we have the same great taste but I have to give the credit where the credit is due-Denelle! I couldn't figure out how to change my background so I called her and begged her to do it for me! She changes it often for me! In fact she changed it today since we have the same background-so check it out!! Love ya! (How do you work full time, go to grad school, and blog! I can't even keep up on mine. Way to over achieve and make us under-achievers look pathetic!!)

  5. Yes it was me who helped Jaylyn get dressed for the snow. I didn't think she'd acctually go play. I just thought she was dressing for fun. That bathtub is huge. I think Las Vegas is getting worse. We went when our kids were little and it was fine. Then a few years ago we went again and it was horrible.
