Spring Break...Day 4

I am so glad that we were able to stay at Grandpa and Grandma Neibaur. They are such great examples to me. They are always serving their family, friends, and the Lord. And they enjoy life and have fun while they are serving. I loved visiting them and I am forever grateful for all that they do...



So we left early Thursday morning in hopes of getting to Las Vegas in the early afternoon.... LOL!! Oh my goodness...I don't think that we could have gotten any more lost!! We tried to go a different route due to construction on the Hoover Dam...but due to construction, roads on maps that didn't exist yet, and our own navigational errors....let's just say we were WAY behind time!! And we ended up going to the Hoover dam anyways!?!! But we still had fun and enjoyed the drive....mostly ;0)

The joshua trees...


Lake Mead...


Finally we made it to Las Vegas. Joe was so excited with the lights, he had never been south of Utah. It was like watching a kid in a candy shop. Too much fun!! We stopped at the Las Vegas Temple. Again, the grounds were so pretty...











We then traveled towards the strip. It was chaotic and busy, but I guess that's Vegas for ya. The Luxor...


Treasure Island...


Then we walked through Ceasar's Palace...






Joe's every dream...under one roof. If only it wasn't so expensive...




We watched the Bellagio water show...





And hurried back on our way home. We made it home Friday morning at 5....!! So sad, I wish that we had an extra day to enjoy Vegas and St. George, but I had to run home for school labs in Ogden. But that's ok...all the more reason for more trips!! Thanks, Joe, for coming with me, and for such a great time!!
