One of the first days there we went hiking up the "Wash" basically a flash flood canyon in Overton's backyard. It's beautiful though, with lots of fun little hiking spots.
And since it's the desert, when the sun goes down it gets cold. So we wrapped Josie in Joe's jacket and she looked so cute.
The landscape there is sooo beautiful, complete opposite of what Joe and I are used to, but we love it.
So, our day in Vegas. What didn't we do? Of course we went to Circus Circus and watched some of the performances.
And you can't miss the Bellagio. It's as magnificent as ever. I could spend a whole day watching the water shows there.
Inside the Bellagio, they have this beautiful garden, I've never smelled anything so good.
We also went to the aquarium at Mandalay Bay, probably not quite worth the price we paid, but it was cool to see. It's main feature is the Shark Reef and it's terrifying. The shark in this picture is about 12 feet long. You can view the habitat from a glass tunnel and more than one shark came all the way to the glass hoping to eat Josie. She loved it, I did not.
More aquarium animals.
This is who we spent spring break with. Josh is Joe's cousin, it's his family we stayed with, and Jill is a long time friend. The two are engaged and we're all way excited for them.
At the Flamingo Hotel they have a little outdoor animal park that we liked.
We walked the strip more than once sp Joe and I could hardly walk the next day.
The Lions at MGM grand were one of our favorite things to see. They were so lively, it was fun to watch them play.
This pic is for my mom, we had to stop at the M&M store.
More pictures of Overton.
Even Josie ate her food outside it was so nice!
Josie is learning to walk really well. She can't do it on her own yet, but she'll run if you hold her hands. And she can pull herself up and stand too.
The morning we went to Vegas Joe's uncle took us to the Valley of Fire National Park.
And another day Josh took us up on top of the Mesa, which is Overton's front yard.
Since Josie is still hungry every two hours, our 8 hour drive quickly became much more than that. So Joe and I made sure to enjoy the ride. We made alot of fun stops on the way. Before coming home, we stopped at Cove Fort, by Fillmore. It was founded by Gordon B. Hinckley's Grandfather as a haven for travelling pioneers.
And, Josie managed to find the snacks on the way home.
