Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day from my little leprechaun! Since his first name is actually Patrick, he seems to think that this day was invented for him. Don't know where he would get a crazy idea like that?

We managed to pull Tucker from the pool and game room at the hotel long enough to visit the lions at the MGM Grand. We just happened to get there in time to watch the trainers give the lions treats. Luckily none of the trainers became tasty morsels while we watched! The trainers would throw meat on the glass walls where we were watching so that we could get an up-close-and-personal view of the lions grabbing the meat off of the walls. Quite the show and I am very glad that I was on my side of the glass walls.

We also walked down the Vegas strip for a little bit and headed toward the M&M store. Even though it was daytime, it was still a great time to people watch. I didn't realize how much green clothing there really was out there, but I am pretty sure that I saw it all. We had a view of our own little St. Patrick's Day parade. We saw great big green hats, beads, and ittybitty green dresses.
After an afternoon on the 'strip'. We ate at the ESPN restaurant where Tucker was able to watch a hockey game at our booth. Right up his alley! Then we went back to the hotel to join the St Patrick's Day pool party at the hotel where Tucker was able to tye-dye a t-shirt and swim with new friends.
