Trip to Overton

A few weeks ago I was able to take a Friday off of work and we made a 3 day weekend trip to Overton. The major activity we did was make a trip into Vegas and see some of the things on the strip that Liz hadn't ever been able to see. We also hit up a Barffet, but we steered clear of the one at the Luxor ( Yemenyade and a Roosta Bee-ah). It was right around the time of Joshy's birthday, so Grammy Jo and Bampa took him to build-a-bear, where we did our best to keep him from picking something hideous. Apart from Vegas, it was mostly just a nice, relaxing trip where we could watch a movie, get in the hot tub, and just take it easy. So, on to the pictures...



Josh was very excited to get to build his own bear.



The initial bear selection was the crucial moment that needed lots of input from us. The Saint Patrick's day bear and the Kitty Cat were very enticing to Joshy.



Choosing an outfit was less dangerous, as you can see, but he changed his mind about 15 times.



In the end it was Batman. When it was time to give the bear a name, Josh said "Batman!".



Charlie was getting bored, but still being good, even though he wasn't the center of attention.



Grammy and Bampa did their best to entertain as we walked through the many casinos.



The last thing we did was visit a fun garden at the Bellagio with giant ants and yard things.



He showed us what those ants were doing. Everyone around laughed out loud.



He loves his Bampa.



And this is how the day ended.

Looks super fun. Glad you were able to avoid getting Hello Kitty. Josh's bear turned out really cute. I like the picture of Charles with his fist on the side of his head, like his patience is being tried.

Why does build a bear even make something like a St. Patrick's bear?!?! It seems like kids always want the hideous one. Joshy's Batman bear turned out very cute though. I like that Joshy was showing what the ants were doing in the picture...he's so funny. And the picture of Charlie is so cute. What a good little boy.

We had such a fun weekend with you guys. It was so fun to see the boys and especially taking Joshy to Build A Bear. I should have pushed for the St. Patrick's bear, just for the fun of making you mad!! Ha. It was truly hideous. Batman turned out great, and I'm glad Josh had fun.
