Vegas, Baby!

To celebrate my birthday, Tutu and G-Paw's retirement, and Grandma and Grandpa's anniversary, we went to Vegas. The clan included us, our parents, Katie, Joelle, and Rachel (Joelle's friend). We stayed at the Mandalay Bay and, it's a long story, but after Ben and I had to change rooms twice due to pot smokers next door to us, we had a nice time there. The pool area had a lazy river, a beach, and a wave pool which was pretty cool. Cole went swimming for the first time. Well, it was just sitting in the water, and he wasn't a huge fan because it was a little chilly, but he enjoyed floating in my lap down the river.
Cole was awesome the entire trip. He LOVED sitting like a big boy in his stroller and just staring at all the people and the lights. I think he's going through flashing light withdrawals. We also joked that Cole ate his way through Vegas on a breastfeeding tour since he ate at the following hotels: Mandalay Bay, Bellagio, Paris, NY NY, Treasure Island and Caesar's Palace. When ya gotta eat ya gotta eat, right? Ok, now for the fun part...LOTS of pictures!
