A Walk Through the Garden and Some Toys too!

Last Thursday we made our first official trip to the Las Vegas strip. Well sort of, we took the kids to Seigfried and Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat in the Mirage Casino.

We had a really good time walking through the secrect garden and looking at all of the animals. Among the animals were a one month old bottle nose dolphin and 3 five month old white tiger cubs. They were so super cute. Here are some pics.

This is the brand new dolphin and her mom. They were so cute swimming together.

Super cute baby tigers. I wish I could make the fence go away.

It took us about an hour to walk through and see everything. There were a couple of other animals in the garden- white lion (it was so super gorgeous) and a couple of female lions, alpacas, and a cougar- to name a few.
For some reason we didn't take any pics of us infront of the animals, but we did take some cute pics of us in the rain forrest inside the casino.

Don't you love Ali's face? She is always so ready to take a pic.

How stinkin cute if my nephew!! Wick is not bad either.

Then it was off to FAO Schwartz in Caesar's Palace.
If you haven't been there-this is what the entrance of the three story store looks like. It is pretty awesome!
We had so much fun playing with all of the toys. Wick and Ali tried on some hats.

Ali and her birthday hat.

They have some really awesome toys there. The ugly dolls being one of my favorites.

I had to post this picture of the Ugly Dolls because I think they are so funny.

Ryen loved all of the Madam Alexander dolls. Ali's favorite thing to do in the store was put all of the babies (small stuffed animals) with their mamas (the big stuffed animals). She matched them up on all three floors of the store it was so cute.

Notice how the babies are looking at thier mamas. Ali is so sweet.

As you see there are not a bunch of pics of Ryen. That would be because she never reall came off of the piano. You can see her foot in the above pic. The piano was of course the highlight of our trip to FAO Schwartz. It totally made me miss New York and made me want to watch "Big". Here is some video of the kids playing on the piano.....


We had a great time playing and each of the kids got to take home a stuffed animal of their choice. Ryen got a penguin, Ali a cat, and Evan a super cute ugly doll. By the time we went home we were totally worn out. A good sign that we had a blast.
