Vegas Vacation

Here are some pictures from our vacation last week. The famous Las Vegas sign. I was surprised that people actually line up to take pictures of the sign. I did take the picture but I didn't wait in line. The New York New York looks pretty cool.

Here is the Paris at night and the fountains at the Bellagio. That was pretty cool.

FAO Schwartz was really cool. Here is the big horse out front, that thing was huge. Leah and I outside the fountains of the Paris. The person who took this didn't even run off with the camera.

I have always thought Caesars Palace was pretty cool. We stayed and watched the fountain show. Didn't do much shopping in Caesars, Armani is a little too pricey for me.

Vegas has definitely changed since I was there back in 93. We stayed at the Circus Circus and highly recommend to never stay there, what a dive. That is probably why we didn't like Vegas too much, just the whole atmosphere there is pretty bad. Once you got out into one of the other casinos farther down the strip it was way better aside from all the porn, smoke, and drinking. We did have a $200 that was given to us to gamble, sort of. Anyways I think our total winnings would have been like $2. I secretly think that Leah is a compulsive gambler but she won't admit to anything.

Our nature preserve

For the 2nd year in a row the same pair of ducks keeps showing up in our backyard. Almost everytime it rains these two show up. It doesn't help much that if it rains enough we have a good size pond in the back corner. Hallie thinks that they are going to eat her and Landon keeps trying for a sneak attack to get a fatal shot in. So if you are invited over for duck soup you know where they came from!!!!
