at Paris.

lunch and then to go carts. Luke managed to get lost.
Well actual he was just playing on a game, except we couldn't find
him for a minute. We had dinner at the NASCAR Cafe.

Day 6
Today Mom, Dad, Kelly, Dennis, Max,
Luke and I drove down the the Hoover Dam. We did part of the
dam tour, some pictures and headed back. Later on Me, Dennis
and Kelly took Max to Circus Circus, even with 3 of us I was afraid
we would lose Max and never find him again in the sea of people
their. After winning some stuff for Max and Luke we went with
Mom and Dad to the Venitian for Gondola rides and dinner.
