4th of July weekend



On the Fourth of July, we drove to St. George with our friends Nick and Lindsey Bell. We had lunch at In-n-Out, shopped the outlets, dinner at Outback, frozen yogurt at The Golden Spoon (I definitely recommend it!), and watched The Sound of Music at the Tuacahn outdoor theater. It was such a fun day that ended in our own personal fireworks show at the theater after the musical was over!



The next morning, we drove from St. George to Vegas. We had lunch at ESPN Zone and let the boys play the games there for awhile (we knew we'd pay them back later when we went shopping).






I got my picture with Cameron Diaz and we played the giant piano from the movie BIG!





We went to the Bellagio Conservatory where they have all this neat stuff made from flowers and plants, as well as this mini Bellagio replica.



Then we went to the M&M Factory. The picture below is us about to enter the dizzy tunnel while you "get your colored candy shell painted on you." :)



We ate dinner at the Grand Luxe Cafe (owned by the same company as The Cheesecake Factory so it had the same delicious food and then some!) and of course, we ended the night with a few Bellagio fountain shows. As you can see from the picture below, I was a little tuckered out.



Thanks to the Bells for such a fun weekend!

What a fun weekend! You guys look like you are having an exciting summer. Can't believe it's half way over...boo. Also your hair looks shorter and it looks really cute- I'm jealous that you pull off the straight AND curly look so well!

Hey! This looks like the funnest weekend! I would seriously love doing ALL of those things!

I like your new layout, by the way! I really don't know much about the headers...I just added a picture to my header using the layout section of blogger. (I still want to try to make the pic a little smaller, but we'll see when I get around to it.) Anyway, yours is super cute with the slideshow, music and all!
