Two weekends ago we decided to take the family up to Red Rock. For those who have never been to Vegas, yes, there are more than casinos, hotels, etc. here. In March we purchased an unlimited year pass to Red Rock for only $20 (if you don't have a pass each visit is $5). I was really excited to go this time because I remembered the camera and charged batteries. Kade loves going up there. He continues to amaze us at the things he is capable of doing. This time he started climbing the rocks all by himself which is astounding because Eric and I had kind of a hard time climbing them (not so much Eric, but me). Poor Kyle though just gets to sit and look at the scenery. No climbing for him yet.
Bellagio
Later that Saturday we decided to visit the Bellagio Botanical Gardens and watch the fountain show. For a Saturday evening in Vegas it was not very busy or crowded. As we walked into the garden we noticed it had a summer theme to it. They even had a big decorated ferris wheel. I wonder how they got it in there. Eric says they probably built it. I think they opened the glass ceiling and put it in there with a crane. Every time I visit the garden I am amazed at how the gardeners take care of everything. After roaming around for a little while we went outside to watch the fountain show. Kade and Kyle both loved watching the water shoot up, over, across, and splash around. After the show we noticed this cute, little, lonesome duck swimming away from the water. It must have had quite a shower and show. For those of you who have never seen the water show I recorded about two minutes of it. Enjoy!
Overall, we had a wonderful and fun Saturday!! Thank goodness there is more to Vegas than hotels, casinos, gambling, and other "not so fun" activities.
