We Are Back!!

Well Kraig and I went to Vegas for a week. It was really nice to get a way, however I was more then happy to come home. Vegas is one of those places that I can only handle for so long. We went and saw the fountains at the Bellagio. It was kind of cool, a little loud, but we were also able to walk to it from our hotel which was nice. We also went to the Hoover Dam, and Kraig was having lots of fun with some play on words, for those that have any question on what he could possibly say should watch "National Lampoons Vegas Vacation". We also did a little bit of shopping, including going to the M&M World, where I got bought my birthday present from my mother in-law (before I left, she told me I should get something there that I wouldn't at home, so I did). We also went to the Las Vegas Temple while we were there, it is kind of hard to get a good picture of the entire thing with just my little camera. We also stopped in St. George on the way to and from Vegas, on the way there, we met my mom, and just chatted for a little while. On the way back we met with Jeremy Whiting and had lunch. For those that don't really know who Jeremy is, he is Kraig's best friend, and they have known each other pretty much their entire lives.
Here are some pictures of our adventure.

This is the M&M dispencer, I went with the blue.


Here is a picture of the fountains, we did not take this picture, we left our camera in the hotel, oops!!

I don't know what he just did, but he is hoping nobody finds out

Looks like you guys had a really good time. How fun to get away for a whole week. Did you really climb all those stairs? I think I would have freaked out. I don't like small and narrow spaces.
I have never been to Hoover Dam. It would be cool to check it out.

No we didn't have to climb the stairs, and to get to the stairs you have to go on their special tour of the Dam. If you are claustrophopic, you would hate the elevator ride down, on either tour!!

Looks like you guys had fun! We've recently visited a coal mine as a field trip and I felt claustrophobic in there--yuck!
