Circus Circus

The weekend before Christmas, we made what's becoming an annual trip to Las Vegas to watch BYU play in the Las Vegas Bowl. Thankfully Katie lives there, so Chad doesn't have a hard time talking me into going, even though it is so close to Christmas and I never have stuff done! Once I finally get there, I remember that it is lots of fun to have a family vacation. The last few years, we have visited the same places, so this year, we decided to try something new. We settled on Circus Circus! We had to start by seeing how we measure up to decide which rides to go on! (And yes, all of my kids have BYU clothes on!)
Then we started with some nice and slow and easy rides.Emily of course wanted the kitty cat when she rode on the merry-go-round.
We even let cousin Weston and Aunt Katie ride on some with us.
Emily was too small to go on the Spongebob ride, so only Chad and Cole got to ride. But who doesn't want their picture taken with Spongebob!
Weston much preferred checking on Addy to riding on the rides!
Then we played carnival games. Cole thought they were so cool because they were just like some of the games he plays on the Wii!
They even won some prizes (aka junk!)
And of course, Cole needed to teach Weston how to play arcade games.
And poor Addy missed out on all of the excitement!
Cole's favorite ride was the bumper cars. I think he rode them at least 5 times! It's a good thing he has parents that like to ride.
He also liked playing lazer tag. I think he was a little smaller than the average player. But he had a great time!
Emily's favorite ride was the frog ride. This video pretty much shows the personality differences between the two of them. This was Emily's third time in a row on the ride and she loved every minute of it, smiling and looking around as it went. It was Cole's first time, and also his last! He was a brave soldier and did not cry, but you can tell he really wants too by the end!

Addy did get in on a little bit of fun at the end. She decided she wanted a souvenir to remind her of all of the naps she took while we were there, so she had a blow out! Yes, poop all over everywhere with no spare clothes. So I was forced to find her a Circus, Circus onesie. Thankfully it was 70% off so it was semi-affordable!
What an end to a fun day!
