Vegas Day 2



On our second day in Vegas we took the kids to Circus Circus, of course! The kids enjoyed playing games for tickets. They redeemed the tickets for some Super Mario toys and won these cheeseburger pillows from a fishing game. When Ellena showed Grandma Sue her prize, Grandma asked her, "Wow, did you get a cushion?" Since Ellena is unfamiliar with that term, she promptly corrected Grandma, "No! It's a pillow, not a cushion!" Ellena had all sorts of comebacks for her grandparents on this trip!

We also viewed three free performances at the big top - contortionists, a juggler and African acrobats. I'm so glad we stayed for the acrobats - they were by far the most entertaining! I forgot to mention that on the first day in Vegas, we also went to the MGM Grand to catch a taxi. While there, we went to the Lion Habitat and were really impressed - another free activity that was great for the kids. They had a few trainers inside with the lions, actively playing with them and getting them moving. The lions enjoyed their play time and we loved watching them in action.



After a delicious family dinner to celebrate Aunty Ellen's birthday, we walked over to watch the Fremont light show. I don't think the kids realized how cool it really was - spoiled kids.
