Las Vegas!

For our Christmas break we were out of town for 2 weeks. The girls were no help when I was trying to pack...We drove to El Paso, and along the way we stayed in Las Vegas one night and Phoenix the other night. It was a really fun trip. Cambria was so excited, she was telling strangers in the gas stations that we were on a road trip to see Vegas where she was born. It was so fun to watch the girls as we were driving down the strip. They have never seen so many tall buildings all lit up before. We only had time to see a few of the casinos so we took them to our favorites.

Of course we had to take them to the fountains at the Bellagio.

We hadn't been back since we lived there, so it was kinda weird but fun. I was kind of nervous walking around at night with my kids. There were so many drunk college kids around, so I was glad to go to our hotel.
The girls were sitting on the luggage rack and then Ashlynn fell through it. Ashlynn didn't laugh about it until I helped her out though.
We met spongebob. For some reason Cambria wouldn't get close to him unless I was standing by her.
The Venetian is one of our favorite casinos. Cambria thought we were outside again and I'm not sure if she believed us when we said it was just painted like the sky. Even now she just walked in my room and and asked me where the sun was, and I reminded her that we were inside, and she said well they should have painted a sun.
Cambria threw a dollar up by this guy and so he moved a little and she screamed and said he scared her. You could see him smiling like he was trying not to laugh at her. Aaron forced her to take a picture by him, but look at her face, she was still scared. It was hilarious.

She wanted to be on the bridge any time a gondola was going underneath it.

Aaron had to carry her for a while because she was tired of walking.
The Mirage. Right after this we took off our jackets because it was so warm there. It was nice until it started to rain.
We found the perfect slot machine for our mom! Also while we were in the Excalibur Corey put a dollar in and won $5! We were both laughing so hard when we took the ticket to the cashier because it was only for $5, but hey money is money!
We decided to stay here because it was really cheap, and because Cambria thought staying in a castle was so cool. She was a little sad when she found out that our room wasn't in one of the towers like Rapunzel.
Bye Vegas, hopefully we will visit soon!
Then we went to Phoenix to see our good friends Jp and Tara who just had an adorably tiny baby boy JJ. Cambria was instantly in love with him and wanted to hold him the whole time. I feel bad because I didn't take any pictures, be we had fun seeing them.

El Paso trip coming soon...
