Las Vegas Trip Day 5

On day five we headed over to Madame Tussauds to see the wax figures.  It was pretty cool, some of them look like they would start moving and talking and others didn't look quite so real.  They all seemed shorter than I thought they would!  The kids had fun going around posing with all the movie stars!




 Bruce and I had fun posing with a few celebs...













 I love this one of Reagan posing with Marilyn Monroe

 Next we decided to head over to the Mirage to check out Siegfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin habitat.  The kids loved the dolphins!  







At the Secret Garden they had lots of cats.  The kids really liked reading about all the different types of cats.





After the Mirage we walked through the Venetian.  Owen about died when he saw a statue with money around her, then he realized that she was real!  She motioned for the kids to stand by her for a picture.  As we walked away Owen wondered out loud what that lady was going to do with all of her money...
We then headed over to Henderson so visit the Ethel M. Chocolate factory.  They only were working on the furthest line when we went so it was hard for the kids to see what they were working on, but we got a little piece of yummy chocolate at the end.


After the factory we went outside to look at the cactus gardens.  They were amazing.  I didn't realize that there were so many different types of cactus!
