Vegas ~ Day 6

Day 6:
Wednesday we had decided to spend the afternoon and evening on the strip. There were quite a few things we wanted to take the kids to see, so we set off! Our first unusual experience happened at the M&M factory. We went up to the 3rd floor so all the grandkids could get a bag of M&Ms that grandma was treating them to. They all picked out their own colors and flavors. In the meantime Mark had found some things he wanted so he went over to the cash register. Just then they annouce over the PA system everyone must exit immediately. So I am on the 3rd floor with the double stroller, Tali is asleep in it, and I can't find Mark anywhere & they will not let us use the escalator. So my dad & I carry the double stroller down 3 flights of stairs with all the rest of thousands of people. We made it safely outside. We walk around to the front of the building and they are letting people back in. My mom went back to get all the bags of M&Ms that the kids picked out and they had trashed them all....so much for the M&M factory....not impressed!

Checking out the flamingos, ducks & fish.

Rubbing the Buddah for good luck

The Coca Cola Bear...Tali was asleep

We were able to watch the trainers feed the lions at the MGM Grand. Then grandma bought all the grandkids their own little lion!

We stayed at the MGM Grand for dinner. We had made reservations at the Rainforest Cafe. It was alot of fun.

The kids trying out their new sunglasses!
