I really wanted to get away for Spring Break this year, so I talked Granny and Grandpa into going down to Las Vegas with me! Brock couldn't come with us because he was invited to go to the Final Four games in Indianapolis. Lucky.
Anyway, we hit the road, and headed out of town.
We just love the pool at the Worldmark resort there. It has shallow parts where Talon can walk around and play, and deeper parts where the other kids can swim around. The weather was just perfect! With the help of my parents watching the kids, I was able to run 5 miles every morning, out on the Boulevard. We don't stay on the strip, so I wasn't running there, but a few miles down the way.
One of our vacation traditions is a manicure/pedicure with the girls. Well, since no one else came, it was just me and mom!
One day we decided to mix things up, and instead of going to the pool, we went to this fun little park called the Container Park. It has a fun playground in the middle, and all around it are shops and restaurants all made out of shipping containers. Pretty cool! The kids loved it, and we went to a yummy hotdog place. So fun!
More swimming.

My mom and I snuck away one night to go see the musical Jersey Boys at the Paris hotel on the Strip. We went to dinner, and then the show. It was great!
After my run one morning, my mom saw a video of a mom doing a plank, and she wondered how long I could do a plank before the kids all jumped on my back. It was less than a minute.
We were so excited that Nolan and Treo's family could join us for the weekend. The kids were so excited to have some cousins to play with!

We headed up to the hotel room after a while, and thought that maybe, while we had been swimming, the Easter bunny might have come! We had sent the Easter bunny a letter saying that we were in Las Vegas, and leaving the next day, so could he please come see us on Saturday. It worked!
 |
| The kids all anxiously awaiting to see if the Easter Bunny had come |

I promised the boys that I would take them night swimming one night while we were there. Well, since it was the last night, we had to go!
 |
| Dancing in the dark |
 |
| Leila and I soaking our toes in the hot tub. The boys are on the stairs, but it's pretty dark |
 |
| And here we are heading home. It's always sad to leave a vacation. We had such a great time! |
