A 'quick' trip to the Bellagio

Have you ever driven the Strip in Las Vegas?

If so, you will probably laugh when you hear

me say that we planned a 'quick trip' to watch

the Bellagio Water Show last night. At 9:58 we

were stuck in traffic in front of the Bellagio. I had

these 4 cuties in my car with Jason driving. I

made the call to quickly unbuckle and we jumped

out (quite illegally), just in time to watch the

show. In total, we had 4 cars there...and only

these boys got to watch it. We ended up staying

to watch the 10:30 show also. Everyone except

Annette got to experience it. Now, why didn't

Annette get to, you may ask. There was a major accident somewhere near

there and it LOCKED down the traffic in

the parking garage. LITERALLY! We were

stuck in the parking garage for 2 hours!

Luckily, I had remembered the "World's

Largest Chocolate Fountain" that is there

at the Bellagio. Heather, Tate, Summer, &

I jumped at the opportunity to go back in the

hotel to get ourselves some Crepes. Yep,

not quite on the diet plan, but totally

worth it. Everybody else sat in the cars

watching movies and moving NOWHERE

while we feasted on deliciousness.

Selfish? Maybe. Smart? You bet! Even though we didn't get home until

2 am our time, I had a blast! I always

enjoy being out on the town...just

not being locked in a parking garage. :0)

Uncle Chris took this photo of us in front
of the Paris Hotel. Maybe we can use it
to fool the kids into thinking they were
with us this summer when we went to
France. Doesn't hurt to try, right!?! :0P
Summer and Tate were the ultimate tourists
taking photos of everything. I loved this one
Summer took of the glass flowers that the
Bellagio lobby is famous for. Just
thought I would share it. You're welcome.
