Vacation Part 2

After visiting the Grand Canyon, we traveled west to Las Vegas. Tevye really wanted to go there, so I put aside my distaste for this location and let him have his way. Arriving very late at night, and after waiting an hour or more in line, Tevye had finally checked us in at Circus Circus. The room was nice, the bed was very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked well. The next morning, we ate breakfast at the buffet, and then I stayed in the hotel room, trying to feel better from my cold, while Tevye took Caden and Vance downstairs to the rides and games they have in the hotel.As you can see, the boys had a great time and returned to the hotel room with two large plastic bags full of stuffed animals they won as prizes. Later that afternoon, we all went to Mandalay Bay to visit their aquarium. It was small but impressive. All of us enjoyed it. Finally, after eating an over-priced meal at the Red, White, and Blue Cafe inside Mandalay Bay, we headed over to the theater to watch "The Lion King." This was the first time we had taken the boys to see a musical on stage, and I was worried that they would get antsy or fall asleep. To our delight, they loved it! The sets and performances were great, and as always, I got emotional at the beginning and the end scenes.

Thanks, Tevye, for taking us to see "The Lion King"!
