In August we headed to Las Vegas for a family reunion for the Takagi side of my family. This is my grandma's side of the family and includes many aunties, uncles and cousins. We had so much fun seeing everyone, though our time was mroe limited due to a toddler who needed an afternoon nap daily. We did our best to participate as much as possible and navigate the smoky hotels and casinos with Camden...so much more to consider when you go to Vegas with a little one!
We found a great outdoor shopping center that was super kid friendly, it also happened to be just down the street from the house we rented for our stay.
Camden is obsessed with lights, here he found a big panel to play with.
The Bellagio is home to many of our favorite things...one of them being the most wonderful pastry and coffee place! This was Camden's first time enjoying it with us.
A visit to the Bellagio would not be complete without a stroll through their lovely garden area. It is my absolute favorite thing to do in Las Vegas!
Camden seems to enjoy it too...
The theme this time was a colorful carnival, the carousel, ferris wheel and hot air balloons were wonderful to look at
I absolutely loved this, a painting re-interpreted in flowers!
So Camden started to go ballistic at this point. I guess all that behaving finally wore him down and he got a little crazy. I'm sure Ryan didn't find it too amusing, but it sure was funny to watch! Papa Bear and Baby Bear...
We had a family bowling tournament at Sam's Town. It was a lot of fun, the aunties and Great Grandma watched Camden while Ryan and I bowled.
Camden got to meet his cousin, Ryan for the first time. He was so sweet with Camden!
Sweet little cousin Tori and her favorite Aunty Robin
My grabdparents came over to our rental to spend some quality time wih Camden and just relax for a bit...he had fun playing with his great grandpa who is still justa kid at heart!
And just like I was when I was little, he is stuck right at my grandma's side! He definitely has a very special bond with her.
We all got a huge laugh out of Camden wearing my grandpa's giant shoes around the house. He did this when we visited them in May too, so cute!
Family reunion dinner in Las Vegas, Ryan playing peek-a-boo with Camden!
My mom took us, Uncle Larry, Aunt Lisa, Grandma and Grandpa out to Hamada for a nice dinner the night before we had to leave.
It's so cute to watch my uncle Larry with Camden, he enjoys him so much
Uncle Larry chasing Camden around the table with a wrapper from a straw...so silly! He was having a blast!
One last stop at the bellagio for our last coffee and pastry treat before heading home...
Time to go! It's been fabulous, Las Vegas!
