Part of the reason we wanted to stay home this spring break was so we could do some of the local things with the kids. We have hardly ever taken them downtown to the casinos so we decided to check a few off our list this week. We headed straight down to Caesar's Palace to the Forum shops Monday morning. We wanted to show them the statues and mini shows and then end up at FAO Schwarz as a surprise. The only bummer part of the day was that FAO went out of business sometime in the last three months. Darn it! We showed the kids all the statues and listened to Carter tell us who he thought each one was. He's learned a lot this year about mythology from reading Percy Jackson as well as studying it in his 5th grade class.
After some snacks from Cheese Cake Factory and a trip to the Apple Store and Baby Gap, we left Caesars and headed for the Venetian. We had some extra time since FAO didn't happen.
They always decorate this lobby for the different seasons. It looked so cool with all of these umbrellas. Which color is your favorite?
Checking out the Gondola rides and canal....the line was too long. Something for next time! 
The kids got gold chocolate coins from this lady who was in the courtyard of the Venetian
The kids thought this was an interesting idea.....a person impersonating a statue??What a fun day!!

what fun for your family! Looks like you had an awesome spring break. We'll have to come visit you this summer, and see all the cool downtown sites with you.
Family day downtown, looks like it was a fun day for you all. There seems to be a magic about any downtown. I guess it is only that it is different from your everyday life.
Grandpa & Grandma J. send you lots of love and kisses.
