Easter Weekend - Lots of photos!

So, a couple months ago we decided it would be nice to take our parents to Vegas for just a quick getaway to say thanks for all they do for us and Rex. Well, we booked the rooms and then figured out we had booked them for Easter... oh well, works for us!

Anyhow, Friday night Rex stayed with Grandma Sharon and Chad and I went out to see a movie - which is something we hadn't done in a VERY long time. We saw American Reunion. It was so funny!! Then we went out for a couple drinks... I had a couple too many haha... ooospie...


Saturday morning there was a big Easter Egg Hunt for the whole city. We figured Rex would LOVE it. And he did. He didn't really like having to wait till they said it was time to go for him to start gathering the eggs though! He wanted to grab them right away - he did really well and probably got at least a dozen. He didn't find any special eggs that give you a prize but he's still too young to really care about any of that anyhow.



After the egg hunt we went home and he took a nap... the Easter Bunny must have got the memo that we wouldn't be in town on Sunday so he dropped off Rex's gifts early. Since it was early he didn't have time to put the car together so Chad and I had to do that. Boy, that was a task! lol... I put some together and then Chad took it to the garage after we had a picnic in the front yard to finish it. Rex and I played with his new colored bubble blowing machine. Then when Daddy finished putting the police car together we pushed him around in it a bit. He doesn't really get how to use it yet though, but he liked to push it around and stuff.



Sunday morning we got up and ready and got our parents and piled into the cars and headed to Vegas. Our 1st stop was at Encore at Wynn. It's a very nice casino which also isn't smoky or dirty like some of them can be so we figured it would be a nice place for us to wander around while the grandparents gambled a little. He gets SOOO much attention wherever we go. He's always smiling at people, flirting with girls and blowing kisses. Such a charmer!!


Then we headed to our hotel, The Suncoast, for lunch and to check into our rooms. We had a light lunch at TGIFridays because we knew we would have a big supper at Cheesecake Factory later. Only one room was ready so we checked into it and put all the luggage in there and then the grandparents got to try their luck in the casino there and we took Rex to get icecream then to the arcade. Chad hit a "jackpot" and won 200 tickets. haha. Rex enjoyed trying to "stomp the ants" and "punch the duckies" and he watched the tokens go around the funnel thing. He ended up with over 300 tickets so he got a few little things.


There was a shopping area across the street from the hotel so we went to check it out, the grandpas stayed behind though, they didn't have any interest in doing window shopping. But they met up with us at Cheesecake Factory and we all had a really nice supper. We took a couple photos by a fountain while we waited for the Grandpas.


Monday morning we all met up for breakfast buffet since it was included in our hotel package. Then my mom, Chad and I took Rex down to the pool. He LOVED IT!! He was laughing and splashing and learning to kick his little legs and float. He's really going to be our water baby!




He didn't really want to leave the pool but we thought he really should have a nap - he didn't agree so we all just packed up and went over to South Point because we thought they had halava there for my mom. They didn't. But they did have a really cute little 50's style dinner we thought we'd check out. Everyone seemed pretty pleased with their food and milkshakes. After that we hit the road home. I think everyone enjoyed themselves and had a nice weekend away from home.


Hope you all had a fantastic Easter!!
