Viva Las Vegas!

This was a much need vacation for all of us and I didn't even realized it! We headed down to Vegas Wednesday afternoon for a quick get-away, TJ has been working his tail off making sure the restaurant is making money, and has been doing ten people's jobs on top of his own and doing extra side jobs too. We all need a change of scenery and some fun family time. We stayed at the MGM Grand and it was one of the best rooms I have stayed at I highly recommend it. After getting some pretty funny looks and comments about us and three kids in Vegas we settled in and then decided to walk the strip to see the shows and get some dinner. The kids were so excited about the Hotel and being together and kept saying it was the best day of their lives! While going back to the hotel there were a few nudy girl cards on the ground on the corners and we thought Hunter was too young to notice so we didn't say anything and just kept truckin. Well out of the blue Hunter said "Dad, I am only stepping on their heads!" We looked at each other and just laughed. Guess he isn't a little boy anymore! The first night Sophie got sick so I didn't get much sleep and in the middle of the night Brielle yells out Jellyfish! I busted up laughing she is always yelling in her sleep, usually at her brother. Thursday we had tickets to the Cubs vs White Soxs spring training game and had a blast eating yummy food and cheering on the Cubbies! We sat next to some fun Soxs fans so it was fun teasing each other. After the game we got ready for dinner and the Lance Burton Magic show. It was an amazing show and the kids really got a kick out of it! If anyone knows my kids they inherited a loud laugh just like their Mom, well throughout the show the Magician would say things like, "oh they thought that was funny," or "that was a hit." Towards the end of the show Lance went down the aisle and we were on the third row and asked for the fun little girl that kept laughing and the spotlight hit Brielle and he asked her to come with him, and she did! He brought her on stage and was asking her a ton of questions and she had the whole place laughing! Then said he needed to see her tag on her shirt and pulled out those long flags and kept pulling, well he was all the way across the stage when Brielle finally reached back and pulled it all out! Everyone was roaring! He gave her a video on how to do magic and the flags to keep and said not to saw her brother in half! I wish they would have let camera's in she was so cute. We ended the night saying goodnight to the lions like we did every night and headed to bed, Sophie rode on TJ's shoulders so Hunter and Brielle could ride in the stroller and she held onto TJ's ears the whole time! Guess those Bentley ears are good for something! lol! Friday we ate lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant Cozymels and headed home. We had so much fun together and the kids were great, Brielle and Sophie got sick but it was a really enjoyable cheap vacation, well except for the $14 M&M's dang choose your own colors station! Now is a great time to go to Vegas and there are a ton of free things to do for families, if you need any recommendations let me know I have a ton of info!
