St. George and Vegas

We took a quick trip as a family down to St. George, UT and Las Vegas. Adam's parents have a house in St. George, so we stayed there for the first 2 nights. We had fun taking walks by the nearby stream and ponds, swimming, miniature golfing, and eating. Ethan has been taking swimming lessons for the past week, so he's gotten a lot more confident in the water. It's the first time he's ever taken swim lessons (he had tubes in his ears until recently and wasn't allowed to get his ears wet while they were in, so he is a little behind with the swim lessons). Ethan was a natural at miniature golfing. He even got a hole-in-1!




We headed to Las Vegas Monday morning. We decided we would stay somewhere far from the strip since we were bringing our kiddos along on this trip (smokey, crazy casinos just aren't very family friendly). Adam found an AWESOME hotel on Lake Las Vegas. Neither of us had ever been to Lake Las Vegas, and we were very impressed. It's about 20 minutes from the downtown strip. It's amazingly beautiful and our hotel was so great. It had 2 pools, an adult pool and a family pool complete with a huge waterslide, kiddy pool, basketball court, tennis court, and playground. The hotel also made a white sand beach for the kids to play on. The boys LOVED the waterslide; I think Adam and I literally spent HOURS taking them on it. We were exhausted! We went to eat at Rainforest Cafe, but that was all we saw of the strip. We are definately going back to the Loews Lake Las Vegas Hotel next time we go to Vegas.
