Cordelle had a wedding invitation conference that took him to Las Vegas for a couple of days, so we decided to pull the kids out of school and see what fun we could have with him there. We stayed in a hotel and spent the morning swimming at the pool. Next we discovered the Shark Aquarium! It was a little overpriced but my kids enjoyed seeing the komodo dragons, petting the de-stinged sting rays, and of course seeing all the cool sharks!
Our last day there Cordelle had one last class he wanted to attend and we didn't know what more to do than go to the M&M factory but not wanting to find parking, Cordelle dropped us of and we discovered the fascinating (or not so fascinating) life of M&M world. The older kids got a blanket and Collin made out with a candy star wars M&M fan. We then realized our mistake of being stranded on the strip and quickly tried to fill it with something to do in a very unkid friendly place. We checked out the Nike store. Found some shoes for Jaq at Ross and then spent a great deal of time waiting in line to check out, but the kids were remarkably good and all was going well. Right before we left Collin had to go to the bathroom and we raced to the nearest food court we could find only to end up getting pee all over as we tried to carefully have him go in the gross bathroom. Needless to say by that time my attitude shifted and between Collin and his pee ridden clothes and the endless porn I had to advert my childrens eyes from....I felt gross and wanted to go home. Lucky for us Cordelle came and rescued us not long after. Loved the family time, but I'd be ok never going to downtown Las Vegas ever again...Especially with my kiddos.
