VIva Las Vegas

Surprisingly it was the parents that brought the most grief. The kids were fabulous and astounded by the Cirque du Soliel performance "Ka". I would've seen it twice! It was just amazing and what they did was really indescribable. Below is a teaser trailer for it. The ushers came to talk to us because we were a large group of kids in the best seats in the house. We were only 4 rows back and loved it! I looked around and everyone's jaws were open, kids and adults!



Then we went to see Phantom at the Venetian. I wasn't really in a Phantom mood but it was a good performamce. The best was that we got to go backstage and met Carlotta and a swing performer named Ben Hale. Swing performers are backup for everyone. He has to know all the male parts (with the exception of the Phantom). So it's amazing. And Ben Hale hails from Orem and is the grandson of the Hale's for the HTC. Here are some of the pictures of us backstage:






We also went to the Mandalay Bay aquarium and saw the sharks. Jackson would have loved it! We also visited a familiar favorite although not quite as impressive Paris:

And saw the volcano and the kids were really excited for it:
