St. George/ Las Vegas

At the end of March we decided to go on a vacation with the kids.  Jeremy's gma and gpa live in St. George so we thought it would be the perfect quick trip to go see them and maybe spend one day in Las Vegas.  Road trips are always interesting with the kids...there never seems to be enough movies, toys or snacks to hold them over...but we managed to make it to St. George without killing the kids!!  totally kidding...with 2 portable dvd players they did pretty well!  It was nice to be able to spend time with gma and gpa Marsh and get to know them a little better...it was also nice for the kids to get them to themselves for a whole weekend!  They are wonderful people and we had a great time!  We took the small trip to Las Vegas and spent one day there looking at so many different things.  I've decided that Las Vegas isn't super kid friendly...I mean there is a lot for them to see and do...but it's a city full on sin!!  When we first pulled off the freeway we ended up right behind a nudie truck...trying to get the kids to look the other way was interesting...and there isn't a street you walk on that people aren't handing out pornography cards.  I remember going to Vegas as a kid...and i guess because there seemed to be so much magic...I never realized how dirty the city was.

Overall we had a great time!  We took the kids to the "Tournament of the Kings" show/dinner...and they both loved it so much!  Clayton flirted and winked at the wenches/dancers and Aspen devoured her dinner!  Clayton on the other hand didn't want to have anything to do with the cornish game hen they give you...he thought it looked gross....after wards i asked him why he wouldn't eat and he just replied..."because mom, didn't you see that chickens butt hole?"  That boy is hillarious!

Me being a dummy...totally forgot to charge my batteries in both cameras!  I got a few shots before they both died!  And I call myself a photographer?!  oh well...i ended up buying a cheap disposable camera..and have yet to develop the film...one day!  But for now...here are a few cute ones i did get!

 The kids love Sponge Bob...and were pretty excited over this guy!  

My favorite people in the whole world...

They have all these fun characters who work off tips for pictures...Clayton wasn't afraid of them at all (unlike Aspen) and wanted his pic with one of his heroes...

By the end of the day they were seriously tired!!  

Oh ya...and this was when we realized that Aspen truly needed glasses! As we were driving into Vegas we kept saying "see the BIG tall buildings?!  And she couldn't see a thing until we were literally right on the strip...it was crazy!  I felt so bad for delaying going to the eye Dr because i just thought she wanted another accessory!  my bad!
