Las Vegas Trip Day 1

For spring break this year we decided to pack our bags and head to Las Vegas.  The kids were so excited, we have never been on a family vacation yet (other than visiting family) so this was long over due!  We stayed at the Circus Circus, which was the cheapest hotel on the strip, I figured we would rather spend money on doing stuff rather than where we slept.  Apparently they have remodeled their rooms so they were really nice, a lot better than I expected!
The kids did really good on the drive.  I am so thankful for modern technology, I really don't know how my parents did it!  All the kids had their DSi's and we had a movie going at all times!  The last hour was the hardest, the kept asking "Are we there yet?" I told them when they see lots of big buildings then we were there.  Finally we turned a corner and in the distance you could see the strip!
 The kids loved the hotel room!  They were so excited, they had never been in a hotel room before.  The three middle kids asked if they could jump on the beds and I let them.  They were in heaven!  Oakley was entertained by the mirror that was low enough for him to climb up and see himself.






 After we settled down a bit we went down to the midway.  They had lots of games for the kids to play.  We gave them all a roll of quarters for the ride down and if they got out of hand then we would get a quarter.  Too bad for us, they were good the whole trip so they each had their full roll to spend on the games.  They won quite a few stuffed animals.
