We are home

Well, we've been home for a while now, but I guess we have been taking advantage of our time with Raegan. Tony and I had a wonderful trip away, but have never been so happy to get home! This was our family the morning we left. Notice that Raegan looks a little sceptical :)

Raegan seemed to have a great time to, aside from getting her first black eye at her Nana's. I'm pretty sure that Nana cried harder than Raegan, and I'm happy to say that she is fine now.

Here are a few pictures from our trip. It will probably take me a few posts to get them on here. I'm having a hard time choosing the best ones.

This is the Bellagio where we stayed. This is in front of the Bellagio, looking at the hotels across the strip.
I felt like a real photographer taking this picture. In the middle of the hotel, they have a garden set up, and this was in the butterfly observatory. This is part of the garden.This is the ceiling "art" that is in the entrance. You can't understand the scale of this thing, but each of those circles are hand blown glass, and they are probably the size of big washtubs. It's amazing!
This is just a picture of the two of us at Mandalay Bay. Kinda random, but it shows both of us.This is the fountain water show in front of the Bellagio. You may have seen it on the Travel Channel before. It's really neat. I took video, but I don't know how to get a video on our blog. If anybody knows, please educate me!
One our last day, we took a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon. This is a view of the "Strip" from the air.
I've got lots more pictures of the grand Canyon, but these were my favorite. Pictures just don't do it justice! It was the most magnificent thing!!! You can't really understand how big this is, so just to let you know... the cliff on the left is 3000 feet high. That's more than twice the height of the Empire State building, which is almost 1500 feet. Pretty amazing, huh.
This is a view of the Hoover Dam.
This is what we saw out our window the morning we left.

Amy, Nae is actually the one who figured out how to do the video but he assures me that this website gives very easy step by step instructions so here it is if you want to give it a try - hope it works
