Las Vegas

Last Sunday we got home from a 5 day trip to Las Vegas. John's Mom and friends, and his Sister all flew in from Ireland to see the sights. And his 2 brothers from drove out from California. It was great to see (almost) everyone again!
We stayed at my Sister-in-law's Parents' house in Vegas. It was a full house, but we had a ton of fun! While we were there we did a bit of sight seeing, did a lot of shopping, stayed up late, and had plenty of treats.
One night when we were there, we had a girls night out. We went to see the Coasters and the Platters. Then we went out for dinner. It was a fun evening out! The concert was fun, the food was good, and the company was great!!! One morning just our family went out for a little bit. We promised the kids we'd take them to the M&M factory, so we did. But before that we met up with my brother Ryan and his wife Jocelyn and baby Brad. We met them at the MGM where we saw the lions. The lions were cool!!!


We were just watching them in front of us at first, and then all of a sudden the male lion jumped up unto the glass above us and started munching on his bone Devin wanted to touch it and if you look close, you can see the lion's tongue.


Next we went to the M&M World. The kids loved it.


We watched a 3d movie, we posed with the M&Ms and we shopped for M&M things. They have any thing and everything M&M that you could ask for. The kids particularly liked picking out their favorite colors of M&Ms from the wall of M&Ms. They had all different colors!

Now if you asked me what my favorite thing we did at Vegas was, I'd have to say it was getting pictures taken. It wasn't a joyful experience (Colin Fought us tooth and Nail), but I am so glad that we took those pictures. I think we're going to cherish these pictures forever!!!
This is all in the family who were there. Top L-R: Patrick, Bianca, Darren, Me, John, and Colin. Bottom L-R: Roisin, Aileen Sr., Aileen Jr., Devin, and Erin. We were just missing Patrick's Wife, Teresa, and Aileen's Husband, Rufino.

I love this one with John, his Brothers, Sister, and Mom.


And last, but not least, we got one of the Grand kids and their Nana. Cute! We were lucky to get this one, cause Colin was not in the best of moods.

What a great chance to get pictures with everyone! That opportunity does not come often. I love the grandkids picture with grandma. They all turned out so nice. What a fun trip.
