Todd, Lexx and I just returned home from a quick jaunt to Las Vegas. We originally went for Alexxa's soccer tournament. We played the first game and started with 10 girls, but ended up having to forfeit the other two games because two of our girls blew out their knees. Remember, you generally start a game with 11 girls, so we were already down 1 player. Because the tournament was a bust we were actually able to have a mini vacation.
My sister Karen and her family came from Phoenix to visit. It was wonderful being able to see my little niece, Ava. She is growing up so fast. We spent most of Saturday with my sister's family. We went out to breakfast, watched Alexxa's game and then went to the strip for lunch. By the time we finished all that, everyone was exhausted and went back to their hotel rooms. We relaxed in our rooms for a little bit and then went back to the strip with Todd's parents later in the evening. We wandered around through several of the casinos and took the little tram from one place to another. I managed to get a blister on the bottom of my foot and ended up walking around barefoot in about 50 degree weather-awesome. Besides the blister it was pretty fun. My favorite was the Bellagio as you will be able to tell because of all of the pictures.
On Sunday, Todd decided to go hiking at the Valley of Fire with his parents, and Lexx and I decided to stay at the time share and go swimming and eat! Todd had a great time and said he really liked the petroglyphs. Lexx and I also had fun and really liked lunch :) When Todd returned, he had to turn right back around because we had tickets to see Ka Cirque Du Soleil. It was amazing! You aren't allowed to take pictures, but trust me on this one, AMAZING!
We headed out this morning about 8:00 AM and made it home by 5:30 PM. It was a long exhausting drive but well worth it.
Things I'm thankful for today:
In-laws that are generous and allowed us to stay in their timeshare.
Parents that are generous and checked in on Austin.
A safe trip home.
A warm and comfy bed.
