Viva Las Vegas!

Joe is taking an Asterics (a phone system) class for work this week in Vegas, so Ella and I tagged along! We traveled all day Sunday after conference and got in late that night. Monday Ella and I went and watched Nims Island in the Hotel movie theater, then spent the rest of the day just hanging out until Joe got home. Then we all went to eat at the hotel restaraunt (i dont remember the name), but its a really good mexican place..we sat under this big fake tree, which was pretty cool...after dinner we got in the car and headed for the strip...we wanted to go to the m&m's world store and then to the Bellagio fountain show..we drove around forever looking for parking and finally just parked at MGM Grand Hotel, and walked an extra few blockes.. which was a good thing because its the prefect place to park, now when we go back we know exactly where to go! Anyway..the M&M store was really big and Ella got her picture taken with two little M&M dudes that were outside the store...then we walked a few blocks to watch the Bellagio fountain show and it was amazing! We got there just as one was starting so we watched it and then stuck around 10 min to watch the next one..glad we did because it was better then the first one! I took a video and will post it later if I can get my pictures on this laptop from mine...Tonight we are planning on going to the MGM Grand again to check out the Lion Habitat, and dinner at the rainforest cafe! (we are going to request the table by the huge ape, so ella will be freaked out and sit during dinner!, ha jk)....Today Ella and I tried to go watch 21, but she was being kind of a stinker so I left halfway through..I was a little bored anyway.. we also tried to go swimming but the pool was stinkin cold! so we went for a walk around the parking lot for awhile, then just played near the pool! ..... well thats all I can think of at the moment, i'll try and get pictures on later tonight!

Vegas is pretty fun. I love the M&M Factory! It's so wonderful. Did you guys go have desert at the cheesecake
factory?
