All about Vegas...






We had a great time in Vegas. The girls were introduced to the world of Casinos and Gambling! Amelia pronounces it cAsino (short a sound)... it is cute. And she hates them! She doesn't like the smell of the smoke. She also didn't like the concept of gambling. I guess I've done my job of 'sheltering' my kids.

Vegas at night was very neat. All the lights and amazing architecture was beautiful in it's own way. It really is an amazing place... and HOT! It was probably 95 degrees at 9:00 at night. We laid by the pool all day. We had to enter the pool every 15 minutes... and forget the sun... we needed shade!

We saw Cirque De Soleil... AWESOME! On the way, we saw a tower that looked kind of like the Space Needle. Amelia later called it the Space Point... laugh.... and then as we left Vegas, Sydney called it the Shuttle Point.... laugh, laugh, laugh.

Today we drove, drove and DROVE! We drove for about 450 miles to Ogden, Utah. The girls were very good and only had a few verbal scuffles. We counted license plates from various states... mostly Utah... of course :)

We are settled (semi) into our Inn for the night and we'll be heading out for Butte in the morning.

Ta Ta :)
