Spring Break... Vegas Style

We've never gone on any type of family vacation before so, this year for Kyle's Spring Break we decided to pack up and spend 2 days in Las Vegas. I know it probably doesn't sound like a great trip for a family with small children, but it actually was really enjoyable and the kids had a good time too! We stayed at the Excalibur hotel which Brighton thought was a "princess castle" so she was in love from the minute we pulled up. We were able to lounge in the pool, eat great buffets, and walk the strip to see all the free night shows. It was a really good time and nice to get away just for a little bit. Here are some pictures to prove the enjoyment!

This was what Porter was doing during the family pic... smiling as usual

The volcano eruption at the Mirage (This one freaked Brighton out!)


Brighton's favorite thing to do was look at the Aquarium in Caesar's Palace.
Going on the trip made us realize that we need to do more family things and enjoy each others' company more!

That looks like so much fun! Vegas is actaully very family friendly. You just have to avoid the dirty porn handouts. It looks like your cute family had a blast.

I'm glad your kids had more fun in Vegas than Carson had when we went. We couldn't watch very many shows because Carson thought that everything was too loud!
