Warming up in the Hot Tub!

The hot tub is STILL one of my favorite places to hang out!

Trying to soak Mommy!

Splashing makes Danni giggle!

So does Daddy! :)

Having a ball in the hot tub!

When we got home from Vegas, the weather was a little chilly...  so we warmed up with a dip in the hot tub!!  It sure is a nice way to get the chill out of your bones...  plus I can splash water all over the place without messing up the tile and the carpet inside!  :)

Vegas Arcade Madness!

I won some super bouncy balls!  Cool!!!

Danni loves to drife!

She tried her drifing skills on a big rig!

... and on a motorcycle...

I drove the motorcycle too!

Cruisin' with my sister!

Aiming the water shooter... I was a little disappointed that I couldn't swivel it to get Daddy wet!

 What's Vegas without a little bit of gaming?!  Danni and I dropped some money in the casinos...  Since we are still a couple of decades away from gambling, we stuck to the arcades!  We won a bunch of tickets and traded them in for CANDY!!  That's better than some adults do, we hear!  :)

Las Vegas Children's Museum

Concentrating on builderizing a tall tall tower!

Carefully turning the wheel... which eventually dumped a bucket of blocks on Daddy's head!

Teaching Danni about teamwork!

She was a little exciterized!

She takes airplane piloting seriously!

She's a smiley passenger!

Blowing a giant bubble!

Caged Zashimal!

We liked the 'money slider' ...

Drifing the gravity cars...

Fun with centripetal force... and Daddy!

Danni loved the hands-on exhibits!

And the feets-on exhibits too!

Watching my ball sail through the air track on the ceiling...

Fascinated!!!

Another one of our favorite Vegas haunts is the Lied Children's Museum!  There are always new things to discover and to play with while we are there!  Danni and I exhausted ourselves with a morning of building, playing, and exploring!!!  We're already counting down the days until we get to go back!! 

Pool Party!!!

I made sure that Danni didn't get lost on the way to the pool!

Pre-swim lounging!

Swimming with Daddy!

The water felt great!

Mommy says that I jump in just like Uncle Po used to!

 The weather got warm while we were in Vegas so we took advantage of the sunshine and our hotel's gorgeous pool!  Mommy forgot her bathing suit, so she watched us from the pool deck.  Danni decided to keep her company!  Daddy and I had fun entertaining them from the pool.  I made some big splashes when I jumped in -- that kept Mommy and Danni cool!  :)

Mandalay Bay Aquarium

I wasn't so sure about being so close to a giant alligator... that glass was pretty thin!

Fishies!!!!!

Walking through the aquarium tunnel....

Danni wanted to swim with the ray-didi's....

I knew better than that!

The rays were really friendly... but Danni still wouldn't stick her fingers in!

I got to hold a shark's tooth!

Save your money, parents!  The best part of the trip?  The mondo-rail ride!  :P

Danni and I wanted to try something new while we were in Vegas, so we convinced our parents to take us to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay.  We saw lots of sharks and fish, and I petted some rays...  My parents wished they had saved their $17 admission fees when I proclaimed the mondo-rail ride between the Mandalay Bay and Luxor to be the highlight of the day!  ;) 

Vegas has Play Parks too!!

You can almost see The Strip from here!

Taking a water break on the stairs...

Slider!!!

Mommy, I'm gonna jump on your head!

Mommy was playing with the exposure... kinda cool!

Our Big Station House in Las Vegas had an amazing view...  we could see a Play Park just across the street.  One afternoon, we wandered over to check it out.  It was a lot like the Play Parks that we have near our house... but there were lots of grown-ups smoking there...  Weird! 

Desert Springs Preserve!

Spinning the stone circle... I'm STRONG!!

Danni's favorite part was the playground!  :)

Fish Faced Z!

She liked it when I drove the train!

I got hot and sweaty climbing on all of the rock walls!

Enjoying the view from way up high!

Checking everything out through the 'far lookers'

Building a sand house in the exhibit about erosion...

Building a foam house!

Danni helped too!

Smiley sister!

The giant misters felt great after all of our hard playing!

We all got super wet after I pressed the mister button 50 times!

One of our favorite places in Las Vegas is the Desert Springs Preserve.  It is a cool 'museum' where kids (and grown-ups!) can learn all about the desert!  There are lots of hands-on exhibits and play areas, so Danni and I approve!!!
