Had a few more pictures from our trip to Las Vegas I wanted to round up and share. Such a photogenic city!

The only hotel I took Adele into was the Bellagio, so we could see the flowers.

Bananagrams with Janie while the boys were having a drink at the Excalibur. (They did come back with Pina Coladas in hand for us when they returned through. Mmmm).

I took Adele downstairs to the Planet Hollywood shops to take some pictures one day. But she wouldn’t walk on the floor. It was super shiny and reflective and I think she thought it was water or something. It was really funny.

But I do love this background so we did it stroller-style.

A few shots of Adele’s Thanksgiving outfit! She loved to point to the turkey on the front and say “Turkey!”

Coincidently, Irving’s mom was flying through Vegas on one of the days we were there. She had a few hours to lay over there, so we went to hang out and say hi!

She came bearing gifts! A ‘Jack-in-the-Box’ from when Irving was little. Adele LOOOVED it!

Jack and Adele are BFF’s now. And I’m stuck singing “All around the Mulberry Bush, the Monkey chased the weasel…” all day long. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! We are thankful for our friends and family that stretch to both coasts.

I think Adele’s art project for this week sums it up.

A Pony Tail on the Trail November 27, 2013

As mentioned in my ‘anti-vegas‘ post, we hiked in Red Rock Canyon one day while we were there. Jake and Janie had never been, and we had been twice before (here and here) and decided it would be a fun way to get in some exercise.

First we checked out the visitor’s center and got another stamp in Adele’s National Park passport! This was her second time to Red Rock!

Adele was fascinated by the lizard who was being served carrots and celery for lunch.

Maybe it was a coincidence, but Adele walked over to the “E” below and shouted “EEEEEeee!!”20131119_110724

Not a day passes that I don’t get knocked in the face by something Adele is holding.

Not long into our hike, our happy traveler fell fast asleep!

I debated not even posting those pictures because just looking at them I get the creeps. Luckily Adele was brave and didn’t get scared at all… because she was still sleeping 1.5 hours later.

She only woke up when we got back to the car and tried to transfer her to her carseat. Lucky for me, I got to enjoy some post-nap snuggles. I take ’em when I can get ’em!
