St. George/Las Vegas Trip

Last weekend, we went to St. George to visit Brad's Dad and family. We have been looking at a job for Brad down in Vegas area so we went to look at some neighborhoods that had houses we were looking at online. It was bittersweet, some of the neighborhoods weren't great and the houses weren't all great either. But we did go to a couple of fun places for the girls. At the Bass Pro Shop right outside of it in the casino there is a big fish tank and it had some really cool fish in it, the girls liked it a lot!

We were just looking at the fish until we realized that there was a mermaid in there! She stopped right in front of Allie and was doing a clapping game with her and the girl next to her. Marlee was too scared to go up there with Allie so I held her and she liked to see the mermaid too.

After that we wanted to check out the adventure dome at Circus Circus. It was a little different than we thought it would be but we did go on a ride. There was a Ferris wheel that was hot air balloons as the seats, we got to all ride together on it. Here is me with Marlee:
And me with Allie:
And here is Brad with the girls. If you look behind them you can see a little bit what the seat looked like.
It was way fun and we went up really high and it was all indoors. There was a big roller coaster that was fun to watch go around too. They had a cool 4D Dora the Explorer show but it wasn't on that day, it was Spongebob instead so we didn't go.
We went back to St. George and hung out at the Taylor's house on Sunday and played games and read books and stuff. On Monday morning we met my sister Chelsy who was on a road trip with a couple of roommates. We met her and went shopping at the outlets because we thought it would have great sales because it was President's Day. I got some really cute outfits and good deals at OshKosh there but that's all.
It was a great little getaway and we didn't have to be here when everyone at home got a lot of snow!
