Las Vegas!!

Kennet and I took our first trip away from Elsa last weekend to Las Vegas! My parents came over and watched Elsa and we flew off to the sunshine!! It was an incredible trip with fantastic weather!! We stayed at the Mirage on the strip. I highly recommend it!! The pool is huge with waterfalls and people everywhere. It was low 70's, which felt very warm to us!!
Again, fantastic pool!! Heated and open year-around!

We played golf at Desert Pines Golf club on Friday. It was a very challenging course with tons of sand and other assorted desert trouble to get into but we had a great time.

Here is Kennet hitting over the water. It was a great shot onto the green!

Here is another view from the cart path of the great course. We played with Bob and Paul (kind of like the Bryce and Gary of Orange County...quite the pair they were.)

Kennet in front of the Venetian Hotel on the strip.

We walked down to the steak house at "Paris" and then came back to the volcano erupting at our hotel, the Mirage. This is the Mirage behind us. It was kind of cool at night but just a little sweater or jacket was all we needed. Perfect time to go to Vegas!

Self-portrait. It was hard to get many of us together since we were there alone, but we tried...

This is the first night, we went out for seafood and gambling. Good times. Kennet lost at Blackjack, but I actually did quite well at the Roulette table!!

Right after we got there...this is oustide Cesars Palace. I have no idea who the other girl is...

Our hotel The Mirage. Perfect location on the strip!

The Bellagio gardens do seasonal floral and plant presentations. This picture was for Elsa...she loves ladybugs!!! This is hundreds of little red flowers.

Kennet was thrilled to be looking at flowers and butterflies...he was a little anxious to get to the casion and the bar!!

The Bellagio Gardens. Love the tulips!

Okay, here he is playing video poker. You can see he is smiling more than in the flowers!

Look at you high rollers! I'm so jealous you got to be adults and you even had warm weather! It looks like it was a great time!
