The rest of the Vegas Trip

Vegas was a lot of fun with the family. We barely had time to explore the timeshare, Owen swam just 2 times in the pool. We really weren't there very much.

 Papa and Owen with the statue man.

 The boys thought he was weird then scary then funny.

 Our crew walking around the casinos.

 Thank you Damon Bradshaw for everything. This was on the first day (of 3) that the drivers were around for the public.

 Owen and Ryan Anderson.

 The trucks raced for time a quick half lap and jump to qualify.

 Everyone had a great time. Ara was much more interested when trucks were racing... The down time did not hold her attention so we walked and I wore her around a bit.

 The popcorn kept her busy for a good 20 minutes.

 This boy was in heaven! He was so excited he was licking his chapped lips like crazy..

 Resting Arabelle at a post-bedtime race.

The crew at the second night of racing.

Ara and I missed the third night of racing due to her having a fever of 104. We stayed in, walked to the gift store, watched Maid in Manhattan, and packed up most of our stuff. Then mama had a popcorn and wine night and watched the Pioneer Woman. It was relaxing although I was bummed to miss the Freestyle competition. Owen and Chris didn't get back to our room until 11... It was good we stayed home.

The ride home was long but we were so grateful for our awesome housesitters. Chris actually took the passenger seat for the second half of the drive. As always it's awesome to get away but so nice to come home!
