Viva Las Vegas

On August 14, Kraig and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary. I can hardly believe that it has been 10 years. We decided to celebrate by heading down to Las Vegas for a few days away. And yes, we brought our darling little Tate with us. We really do know how to celebrate. It wasn't the most romantic of get aways but we had a good time with our little family. It was nice to get away before Kraig starts school and his crazy schedule again next week.

Mom and Tate outside of the Luxor where we stayed while we were in Vegas.

Tate loved having a big bed all to himself. He looked so tiny in that big bed. But, he thought he was pretty neat.

In one of the hotels, I think it was the Excalibur, they had this Sponge Bob statue. Of course, Tate needed his picture taken with Sponge Bob.

Tate and mom in front of the "Castle." Tate made sure he didn't miss out on going inside the castle.

The elephant at the Rainforest Cafe. Tate loved all of the animals. He loved watching the real lions and looking at the pretend snakes, alligators, butterflies and frogs at the Rainforest Cafe.

This had to be Tate's favorite place. He really "needed" everything inside the store. We walked away with only one blue M & M cup and some blue pajamas. Not too bad for all of the things Tate needed.
Not so sure of the yellow M &M.

Tate and Dad waiting for the 3D M &M movie. Got to love the glasses.

After the movie, Tate saw the yellow M & M and of course needed to get his picture taken with it. The funny thing was that the more guy needed to go the bathroom, but the kids wouldn't leave him along long enough so he could go. It was quite entertaining watching the M & M guy doing the potty dance.

I guess we wore him out after a long day of fun.

Our little family in front of the Bellagio.
We loved seeing the dolphins at the Mirage. Tate loved that he could get so close to them.
