Cali Trip Pat I

Vegas Baby!!!
Finally, after three years, we took a family vacation that was longer than 3 days. Bec and I have been planning to go to California for about a year now... Last time we went, Kailee was two, and Tylie wasn't even a thought in our minds (so hard to imagine now)! So, with the car loaded, kids buckled, and games & snacks in tow-we headed southbound on I-15!

First stop-VEGAS. The kids were so excited to get there and see all the hotels, especially Excalibur (they thought it was pretty cool to stay in a castle). We walked the stip, saw shows, had dinner, and just had fun! 
 
Before we started our walk back our hotel, Kailee and Tylie had knocked out, but Dallin was still wide awake (surprise surprise). He didn't want to miss out on the M&M Factory. The next day, he told K all about it, and we made one more trip for her to experience it also.
We all had fun in that store. However, it can get a bit crazy, and congested. Ifyou're planning on going there and have children in a stroller-HIGHLY recommend NOT taking the stroller; the elevators take F-O-R-E-V-E-R!
  
Somewhere along the line, I snapped this picture of Bec and Ty. Do they look alike, or what?!
 
Each time we've visited Vegas, or just driven through, I've wanted to stop at the "Welcome to Vegas" sign, but for some reason it never quite worked out. We hit the stop on our way out of town. I have to admit, it was a lot smaller than I expected. Either way-we had our picture taken... it'll last us a life time...
