Our family took a spontaneous trip to Las Vegas this week. Here is some of what we did:

We went to Hoover dam...

Check out the huge bridge under construction in the background.

This is how they worked on the dam. I can't even imagine how scary. 114 people died during its construction.

The Arizona side...

We stayed at the Luxor.

The kids thought staying in a pyramid was the coolest thing ever.

We hiked from the Venetian to the M&M Factory. (About 2 1/2 miles one way.) We also found out it's not a factory. Sadly, it's just a store. Lame!

We walked through the Coke Factory. (Also not a factory!)

Corbin rocked it out pretending to be a Blue Man...

We all loved the show.

Not even a Blue Man can make Corbin look at the camera. . . .

or at him. . .

Although I have to give him points for trying...

Overall we had a good trip. I was able to see BODIES the exhibit, which was fantastic. Brian and the kids went to the Natural History Museum. It was a short trip, but sometimes you just have to get away and I'm glad we did.
** Special thanks to my brother Jason, who gave us some pointers on Las Vegas and let us crash at his house in Cedar City for two nights.
