Vivaaaaaaaa Las Vegas

Two weeks ago, on the brink of stress-indunced insanity, Matt and I decided to take a very impromptu trip to Las Vegas. It. was. wonderful. Matt had already had the week off of work, but due to certain constrictions, we were unable to take our previously planned trip. SO, we found a room on the strip in Vegas for $35/night. Woot! We literally found the deal, decided to go, and packed and left, all within an hour or two. Spontaneous trips are the best!
There are soo many pictures (even though our whole trip was just over 48 hours total), so I had to do different collages. You should be able to click them to enlarge.
1. First night we went and saw the Bellagio water show. I loved it! So cool. We saw it a few times, and the kids are now hooked to replays of it on youtube. Me too, actually. :)
2. We stopped by a different hotel to see their huge 120,000 gallon fish tank, where they do a scuba diving show and feed the fish and stingrays. Of course, this was a hit with our all-things-water-related loving kids. Oh, and the picture of the birds is random, I just included it because it was soo funny to us that it was SO hot, not even the birds were flying.

3. This one is more random. We hit the MGM Grand Lion exhibit, the Las Vegas sign, the inside of the Bellagio conservatory, and the M&M factory store. Who knew there was so much to do in Vegas, with kids, for free??? Loved it.
4. We went and visited the Las Vegas Temple. What a pretty temple! We always think it's fun to take the kids around to different temples. Of course, it was so hot, we made it a quick trip but still so fun.
Now, for a few individual pictures that had to be left by themselves. Jordyn kept taking pictures of herself (I think she's seen one too many facebook profile pictures hahaha) and it turned out hilarious.

Matt and Tyler in the pool, where we spent approximately 6 hours of the day.

And, a wide shot of the pool. Complete with slide and waterfall, it was sooo pretty. Plus, there were 3 other pools on the other side of the rocks.

"AHHH! SPONGEBOB!" The look on Tyler's face is pure, unadulterated happiness. Too funny.

Looks like you guys had a ton of fun!! It makes me want to visit Las Vegas. I loved Jordyn's face when she was standing by the huge fish tank. So cute. Oh and of course the profile picture was darling. =) Glad you guys could have such a great impromptu trip.
