With Lydia's baptism coming up we decided to make a weekend out of it so we headed out a couple days early. This is one of the bonuses of Matt traveling as much as he does. Weekends like this are possible with very little money because we can use flight credits, free rental car days, and hotel points.
We went and got reservations for Rainforest Cafe and since we had some time we headed down the strip to the Bellagio to see the beautiful flower display. I can't believe the amount of time and detail that goes into these. Always a fun surprise to see what they have come up with. This Christmas tree is 50 ft tall.
The train was probably the kids favorite part. It went around the entire bottom of the tree
We barely caught the water show before we received the text that our table was ready. I was sad I didn't get my camera out sooner. Liam was fascinated with the water show. The particular song we watched had water shooting at varying heights and he loved it. His face was priceless and the girls all mentioned that was their favorite part of the water show was watching his reaction.
While we waited for our food a balloon artist came around and made really cool balloons for all the kids. She was a science teacher at a local school making extra money on nights and weekends. She did a really good job. Gracie requested a butterfly
Liam a fishing pole with a fish
Hallie a giraffe
Emy a flamingo
Hallie told the waitress we were celebrating Gracie's birthday she let Gracie pick a dessert off the menu but then told us she had picked a fancier one than they include but we got it anyways. It was pretty cool. It was call the brownie volcano and it was huge. It came with a sparkler candle on top and they sang to her.
By the time we got our food and headed back to the hotel it was late and we were all tired. It was such a fun night and Gracie mentioned a couple times how special she felt and how much fun she had.
Great way to kick off a fun weekend...tomorrow to Hoover Dam
