Strip Trip to the Bellagio and BAB {December 4, 2010}

Took the bus down to The Strip to go see the new installation at the Bellagio Conservatory. It was all decked out for Christmas. The boys were very excited to go see it...or maybe they were just excited to ride the bus! LOL
When we got to the hotel we let Josh loose. It made for some slow walking, but he was so thrilled to be out of the stroller. The giant snowballs kept distracting, and we had to stop a lot.








One side of the conservatory was all penguins. Joey loved it. And Josh was fascinated by how they moved.

Waiting for the train to come around...puppy sticking out of his mouth.

All aboard the Choo-choo Train.

Such a little cutie even with his boo boo face...

Giant polar bear.

They were still assembling one of them...attaching a bunch of flowers.

Closest we will get to a Winter Wonderland out here.

Can you imagine the ornament storage box you would need for these????!!!

Had a lot of fun. Stop at the Venetian for breakfast pastries on the way. And then we surprised the boys with a trip to Build-a-Bear.

We ended up getting 3 stuffed animals and a $10 gift card all for $30. Thank you Groupon!!
Joshua was VERY happy with his puppy selection.
