Vegas!!

We went to Vegas this past weekend for the Nascar race and to visit Ron's dad and step mom. We headed down about 7am on Saturday. We had told the kids we would take them up to boulder city to ride the train. They were so excited they could hardly wait. It was a really nice day and the train was really neat.

This picture is us in front of an old union pacific train.

Ron his dad and the kids in front of the train we were going to ride on.

They had an open car so we sat there for the first half of the ride it was really cool.

Then for the second half we went into the closed car. We wanted to experience them both. The kids were really excited about this they said that it was just like the one harry potter rode.

Just watching out the window.

Stetson kicked back.


Lainee and Grandpa relaxing.

Tanner chilling.

Me getting ready to head to the race!

The kids were staying with grandma MacIntosh. They were having a fun time playing dress ups. In fact lainee talked Grandma out of these cool hats.

At the race. Jr's car coming into turn 4 where we were sitting. We seen two really great wrecks in front of us and Jeff Gordon's tire blow. it was cool.

There's my man during driver introductions. He placed in the top ten. It was a great race they set a new track record for the most cautions. I love cautions because I love the restarts. It is so awesome to sit close to the track and hear and feel the rumble of the engines when they are starting out.

just a little video I did with my camera.

Thanks to grandma for taking such good care of the kids. They had a blast. They keep begging to come back. Every day it's can we go back tomorrow. And to grandpa for taking us on a train ride on Saturday they will never forget that. It was a great weekend and hard to come back to reality.
