Franjes-e-what? : Las Vegas

We went on a little journey to Las Vegas. I had been told by lots of people that it was dirty and and people didn't wear much clothing, but we didn't really think that. They must have cleaned it up a bit because people were constantly picking trash up off the sidewalks and there were definitely some scantily clad ladies but we had already anticipated that, but I had like the worst imagined in my head, but really...not that bad. Lots of fun family activities and lots of free things too! Before my pictures and video's and I have to tell a funny story.

When we were on our way there we stopped about half way to get gas and we heard this scraping noise, so we thought something was wrong with the car. We stopped at the gas station and this hispanic lady comes running over and she says, "I can fix that for you!" She repeats this like 5 times and then after I figured out what she was even talking about I said, "how much do you want for it?" and she was like 160, it's a good deal. bahaha. There is like this guard deal under the front of my car that just came unhooked. Greg thought she was just being a nice person (he ALWAYS gives people the benefit of the doubt.) but when I asked her how much he was like uhm..no! She kept asking how much money we had and we said we didn't carry any and then she was like "there's an ATM, sweety." I said "well I never carry my debit card" (it's not even activated) Then she kept trying to get us to tell her how much we had and she was like 60, I'll do it for 60. I got my tools over there I can do it. She was crazy. Greg finally just put her in her place and we were on our way after greg just hooked it back up. she was definitely just trying to make a buck...or 160 of them.

Our hotel was awessoommee! So, every hotel/casino is like a little city. They have restaurants and stores and every one has their own special thing. Our hotel had a Dolphin exhibit (the video shows the dolphin show!)and the Siegfried and Roy lions and a huge fish tank- Evan was in heaven. Our hotel-The Mirage- also had a volcano thing I'll show a video of. Evan kept saying, "wow, cool!" The Belagio has the fountains. Caesars Palace is it's own state, so it had tons! It was such a fun place to walk through- they had "talking" statues (which we were late getting to by 5 minutes...they happen every hour on the hour and we didn't have time to wait.) and a 50,000 gallon fish tank. The Flamingo had a natural habitat exhibit. There was so much to do and we had SO. MUCH. FUN! Evan LOVED all the lights and he was wired the whole time! He had a blast too. There is a lot that I didn't get pictures of and I wish I would have.

I felt like I kept getting pictures like this..."Evan look!" snap.

Evan was obsessed with this bear! He seriously had a 5 minute conversation with the coke bear in baby language. Everyone was cracking up at him. Except the lady taking his picture saying, "Mira! Mira!" Spanish for -look, look!
