mini vacation

i have been complaining lately that because the house has been an all consuming project we haven't been able to take many family vacations so my wonderful hubby took yesterday off and we put the kids in the car and headed to vegas.
the rain put a kabbash on our outdoor plans so we ended up at the natural history museum. the kids had a blast.
at first megan didn't want to get anywhere near the animals

dallin doing his best bear impression


this is scorch the bearded dragon

dallin couldn't wait to pet him. megan wouldn't go within 10 feet of him








meggie looking at a mouse



after the museum we headed off to the MGM so the kids could see the lions and eat lunch at dallin's favorite restaurant - the rainforest cafe.
(i asked someone to take a picture of us but my flash was off so this was the best we got)



then we went outside and played in the rain




i love nothing more than spending time with my wonderful family. we had such a fun day and i already have plans for our next mini vacation.

**the best part of the day though was when i tucked dallin into bed

me - "i had so much fun with you today. thanks for the great day!"

dallin - "i had fun too mom but do you know what the best part of the day was?"

me - "what?"

dallin - "just being with you"

he melts my heart

I'm glad you got to get away and have a little DAY-cation! Looked like lots of fun. If you ever roll into LV again, we should do lunch. Or shopping. For shoes...or all of the above!
