Viva Las Vegas

In Mid-November, Ben and I were lucky enough to take a small getaway!  Both of our parents were super helpful and watched Lucas for us.  Neither of us had been to Las Vegas, so we thought we would give it a whirl.  It's definitely a lot different from the life we are used to, but we had a blast. Everything really is larger than life and boy did we get some good people watching!
 
 We made it!
 While there, we walked  everywhere.  My phone automatically tracks your steps, so we found out that each day we walked about 10-11 miles!




 The Wynn hotel was for sure my favorite.  It was so beautiful inside.


 Inside the Venetian, feels just like Italy.



 We stayed at The Linq.  It was nice, but they were still doing some renovations.  I'm sure once they are complete it will be even nicer.
 Lava show at the Mirage.  This was really neat.
 Breakfast at Serendipity.
 The Bellagio was really awesome too!

 New York, New York!  We ate at a crepes places in here and it was DELICIOUS.


 At a Piano Bar inside the Paris hotel.  It was a lot of fun!
 Waiting for the Bellagio fountains at night.
 Not as cool as the real Eiffel Tour, but still super pretty to see
 Here they go!

Cesar's Palace
 We made it to "Old Vegas"


Fall fun at the Pumpkin Patch

This year, we went to Shaw Farms to take a look at the pumpkins.   We rode a wagon ride around the pumpkin patch that was pulled by horses.  Lucas had a good time exploring the farm!




 Looking at the pumpkins with daddy!

 We had to tell the horses Thank You when we were finished.  Lucas even got to pet one.



 Big Wheel, Little Guy!

Happy Halloween 2014!

Since we have passes to the zoo this year, we decided to take part in Cincinnati's Happy Hallzooween!  It was a lot of fun.  We even randomly ran into some of our cousins :)


 

 Acting like a gorilla on the gorilla!






 Cookie break with Sarah and Josh




First time trick or treating.  It was cold and a little rainy, so we only went to a couple houses around our cul-de-sac.



 ARGH! From the cutest pirate!
