On the weekend, we stayed in Las Vegas to enjoy a little vacation together. We took Dallin to the children's museum in the morning and then walked the strip after Dallin's nap. Some of the hotels have free exhibits like a lion cage, flamingos, butterfly gardens and sharks. We decided this would be something fun and appropriate for a one year old to see. This was a mistake. We didn't realize you could park at any hotel. By the time we found a parking space, we were so relieved that we decided to just walk the strip to get to the places we wanted to see. After seeing way too many inappropriate signs, pictures, advertisements etc (the list could go on forever), we decided from there on out to drive to each hotel to see the exhibits. That worked well. Our favorite was the dolphin show and secret garden at the Mirage. We had to pay for this, but we thought it was worth it and Dallin was really interested in seeing all the animals.
In the end, we made our visit to Las Vegas into a really fun vacation. It was the first time we went somewhere just the three of us with no other family around. We really enjoyed our time together.

I'm glad you took so many pictures! They were fun to look through.
You are awesome to find something positive out of what could be a crazy, negative situation. You guys are awesome! Glad you got to visit the fairchilds!
You guys are welcome anytime. We loved having you. By the way the months of July and August are wide open, I don't think anyone will be down when it's 120 degrees outside.
That is so cool.. She sure is blessed to have given you and Zane Dallin..knowing that He is in good hands. I know i would go crazzie if i knew i couldn't at least receive pictures of Elijah--so i know she enjoys each picture she gets.
You are right- the more people who love Dallin the better.. I tend to fall in love with kids way to easy and just want to adopt them all.. A friend and I plan on buying 10 cruise ships to start with and fill them up with kids. *giggles*. Dallin sure is loved by 2 families.. yours and his birthmom's. Mega blessed kid. :D
-off topic- how long you've been scrapbooking? being that i had read that you did a scrapbook for the brithmom. I've been into it since i was about 13 {after the hardest year of my life- and most changing}
Way to make a difficult time enjoyable. Dallin gets cuter and cuter by the day!!!
