You guessed it....VIVA LAS VEGAS!
We got into Las Vegas around 1:30 am on Sunday morning since we didn't start our drive out there until Matt got home from work. It was his surprise weekend excursion for us since we had talked about doing something cool for the Fourth of July weekend. Kalista did so well and slept for most of the drive, but woke up when we got to the hotel and wasn't very happy to find her new sleeping arrangements.
Kalista and Violet (her sleeping buddy) in their new "crib"When we were well rested, we ventured on to the Vegas strip to do a little sightseeing, eating and shopping. Kalista walked a little bit on her own and explored the hotels. We made a grand tour of Aria, Caesar's Palace, Paris, The Cosmopolitan, Mirage, Bellagio and of course the JW Marriott, where we stayed. We even timed it perfectly to watch the water fountain show at the Bellagio.
Kalista took to the pool for the first time. Doesn't she look so cute in her pretty bathing suit?
She had a good time splashing around and watching all the other kids in the pool. Luckily, the weather wasn't too bad...meaning it wasn't 115 degrees, but more like 102 and overcast. We even got stuck in a torrential downpour later in the day and had to run from the Bellagio to Paris to get to our car. That was an adventure and a half. Kalista was in her stroller and kept peeking from under the cover to see what all the commotion was about. Needless to say, she was the driest one out of all of us when we got to our car.
Joey and Bella did well on their own since we loaded them up with plenty of food and water before we left. They were so happy to greet us when we came home. They must have really missed us!
