Vegas Vacation

Last week, we spent Wednesday through Saturday in Las Vegas and St. George. It was 80 degree weather and a much-needed break from work (and Provo).

Calvin with mom at the Flamingo water bird exhibit.
As usual, the Bellagio's atrium was extravagantly decorated. This was a fall-themed bridge with jumping water over the top.
This was my favorite - a waterfall of apples.
Some huge squash and pumpkins.
Playing at the Circus Circus midway.
Calvin loved his first time swimming.

Crazy pool hair.
On the way out of Vegas, we stopped at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory. Russell and I enjoyed some lovely macadamia nut chocolates and Calvin had sweet potatoes for lunch in the cactus garden.
On Saturday, we stopped at Quail Creek Reservoir outside St. George for another shot at fishing. The lake was beautiful with red rocks and perfect weather, but we didn't catch anything (which brings the grand total to 0 fish this year).

Russell constructed a rock bridge to get to this small island, which he named after himself.

Enjoying some snacks and the great view.
