Vegas Baby

we headed down to vegas with the blakes a couple weeks back for a quick fun trip down on the strip!
we had a lot of fun...spent a lot of money, ate a lot of good food and saw a really fun show! 
all in a days work :)

heres our day of fun...adults only! :)

this is right before heading to vegas....
we stayed in st george friday night then saturday morning we slept in, went down to main street for some breakfast at the bear claw and then we were off!
our first stop was lunch :) and we totally had to take the blakes to rasing canes.....
(its a louisiana restaurant and plus its super good...they have chicken fingers and really good fry sauce and their lemonade is awesome too!)
love that place!!

then the boys went shooting and mikel and i hit up the spa at Caesars
a little more than we wanted to spend on our manis and pedis, so we started to reconsider, but when they told me the cancellation fee was one hundred dollars...i said ok...let get the pedicure...yeah at least they let me cancel my 75 dollar manicure :)
mikel sat with me and got a nice polish and then she headed over to her prenatal massage!
yes, she came when she was like 39 weeks so she deserved it :)
david and i when they came to pick us up
our lovely and very expensive nicely painted toes

then we hit up some Bellagio conservatory
they always have something beautiful in there!

then we checked out the city center and then off to serendipity3 for dinner
we met up with my sis and bro in law and baby lucy
we sat out on the patio and took in the beautiful weater
then we ordered...we were thinking about their  $1000.00 sundae, yes i said one thousand dollars! since we were on a spendin' spree :) but we decided on chilled hot chocolate as an appetizer instead :)
i tried to get my husband to cooperate with me for a cute picture sippin' our hot chocolate...but sometimes he's harder than the kids! as you can see :)
here we all are...thanks for taking it britt!
then some more fun ones....my goal was a ridiculous amount of pictures together....and by the way we fell short! haha just kidding....i was seriously asking mikel to take a picture of us every other minute :) ...we did good!
after dinner we hopped into the dyes car and they dropped us off just in time to pick up our vip tickets to mystere...yes i said V.I.P....thats how we roll...dont you want to come with us next time :) lol
but it was great! there was a huge line...we skipped it and picked up our tickets and sat in the 3rd row right in the middle...great seats!
the show was not what i expected...especially the"baby" haha but it was amazing! like all the cirque shows im sure! these people are ridiculously crazy talented! so fun to watch!! just plain amazing!!!
and then at around midnight....sadly it all came to an end...the blakes had to head back...david and i got a hotel and hung out til sunday....we walked around and played with some ipads at the apple store and then went to my sisters house to hang out before i had to take dave to the airport to head to san fran...so i dropped him off at the airport then went on my way back to the george to see the childrens :) and then our little vacay was offically over :)

thank you blakes for coming with us! we had a great time and it was nice to get away and spend some time with some great friends!!

and i cannot thank my mom enough for watching our 3 crazy kiddos...and kevin too of course! and rocio helped too and carly too!
thank you thank you thank you!!
we love you all!!

tillll next time!

We are going to Las Vegas in July (just me and Scott) and your post made me so so excited!!!! Where is that restaurant Raising Canes. Their food looked really good.
