LaS vEgAs!

We took a 4 day trip to Las Vegas. It was our first vacation just our little family and it was very very fun. We did about everything you can do for free in Vegas and did some other things that we really wanted to do. We both served our missions in Vegas so we got a chance to visit with some people from our missions and drive around our old areas. Peyton didn't sleep that great but considering he wasn't on his sleep schedule and spent a lot of time in the stroller, he did great! We were so busy, we didn't even have time to swim in the pool! But we had a great time! PS - this post is super long because of all the pictures! But we hope you enjoy! This is a picture of the strip from the top of the Stratosphere where we stayed.
Stephen and Peyton in the observation tower at the top of the Stratosphere.



I went on this ride at the very very top of the Stratosphere - it takes you up about 1,200 feet and drops you. It was pretty cool but super quick!

Ride at the top of the Stratosphere that Stephen went on - it spins you out over the edge! Stephen said it was very cool!




Siegfried and Roy's house in Stephen's old area of the mission in Vegas. They have a show in Vegas.



Family picture in front of the lion display at the Bass ProShops - it's a outdoors store with lots of stuffed real animals.


This picture is blurry but it shows how big this aquarium is in the Silverton hotel/Casino


Jellyfish in a aquarium









Terren and Peyton with the real stuffed giraffe at the Bass ProShops



Inside the Paris hotel/Casino - probably my favorite hotel because of the inside, they did a good job!



Peyton inside the lobby of the Paris hotel

This picture is blurry but the Bellagio had this really cool garden - this is a frog covered in moss.


TV's in the stalls in the bathrooms at ESPN Zone - we ate there one night
