Dbacks game, fireworks and Vegas Baby!

So we went to the diamondbacks game on Saturday night with my fam and some friends and let me tell you it was a TERRIBLE game, but they had fireworks! But you had to stay for the entire game to see the fireworks, so we were pretty bummed because of all games that we would have left early from, this was the one we couldn't. These were the final stats for the game...not good...not good at all
The fireworks were really fun though...
The next day we were off to Las Vegas! We got to our hotel (Planet Hollywood) pretty early and we weren't able to check in quite yet and so we looked around the mall in the hotel and then went and got some lunch at the famous hot dog place called Pink's. It was fun to go there and see all of the celebrity memorabilia and who likes to eat there...
Here is our hotel lobby...just like the movie...we loved it!


We also went to the M&M factory, Coke factory and saw a Beetle's tribute band show. It was pretty fun...we knew most of the songs and we even got moved up front row seats...
Here they are after the show...
Later that day we went to the Bellagio and saw the fountains, and then headed to Margaritaville for dinner. We were seated upstairs right next to the window and it was perfect because there were fireworks shot off on top of Caesars Palace.


The next day we went to Paris and had crepes for breakfast...Yummy!


We went shopping at Caesars Palace, hung out at the pool, and then went to Fremont Street...

We also made tye dye shirts prior to going to Vegas and thought they turned out pretty good :)

We wanted to get those gigantic cups that everyone always carries around Vegas but needed to find a place that would put soda in them instead of alcohol...We finally found a place and the guy laughed at us when we asked for sprite and coke in the cups...it was pretty funny...We liked carrying the drinks around and we had plenty to share! :)

I look like I had something besides coke in my cup...this is not a good picture of me...We found the coolest candy shop called the Sugar Factory. It has yummy shakes and ice cream and the coolest couture lolli pops. They are designed by celebrities and are so delicious and so blinged out.

We also hit up New York  New York to play at the arcade and eat lunch there. Later that night we went to the Venetian to see the Blue Man Group. They were so GOOD! They were hilarious and had some good skits and special effects. It was totally fun and we couldn't believe we hadn't seen it sooner.

The entire time that we were there, I wanted to go and get a frozen hot chocolate from the shop called Serendipity. It was so so so YUMMY but gigantic...I definately shared with everyone and we loved it!

We had to get the famous shot featured in the movie...

We had a really fun trip and did lots of awesome things...Thanks dad and sharon for inviting us and thanks for reading this EXTRA large blog post...haha I will post again soon!
