Audrey Does Vegas

Last weekend my parents flew into Las Vegas and we met them down there for the weekend, which means we took a family road trip!  It was a little different this time around.  Last time we went Audrey was 3 months old and she slept most of the drive.  This time she was screeching and singing the entire drive, and one of us had to sit in the back with her to keep her occupied on our 4-hour drive.  It was fun, and Audrey liked having company in the back seat.

We started our journey Thursday night after Tony got home from work.  First things first, a dinner stop.

Audrey carefully studied the menu at the little diner we stopped at.  She loved that place!  I can't remember what she ate, but I'm sure it was something from my plate.

We got into St. George late (around 11) and pretty much went straight to bed.  We had a busy day ahead of us and had to make the drive to Vegas in the morning to meet my parents.  I was a little worried about taking Audrey to Las Vegas, but during the day on a week day it was actually quite enjoyable!  Not too many of the crazy people were out and it was warm there!  It was sunny and oh, so nice.  Audrey loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa Grey and immediately gave them big hugs.

We stopped by the M&M World Store (I always forget how long it takes to get to that stinking store) and Audrey completely flipped her lid.  She seemed pretty interested when we first walked in, and then Tony showed her some stuffed M&Ms characters and she started squealing with excitement.  She kept squealing and "flapping her arms" every time she saw a new M&M guy.  It was hilarious!  We had to buy her a toy since she was overjoyed with them, and when Tony was standing in line with her everyone around was cracking up because she just kept kicking her legs, waving her arms, and squealing like a nut.  Tony and I both agree that it is our favorite Audrey memory to date.

Hold on tight, Grandpa!  She's a dancing fool!

We spent the rest of our weekend in St. George enjoying the warmer weather and being with my family.  Audrey got to spend some good time with her grandparents and we even got to go the movies on a date!  I was so glad that my parents liked Vegas and southern Utah.  My mom said she is addicted to Vegas, and my dad said she was going to make him move there, haha!  As long as we stay on the Bellagio side of the streeth, right mom and dad? ;)


Can't wait until we get to see them again!!
