Vegas Vacation

This past weekend we went down with Debbie and Quincy-- and many other BYU fans--to the Mountain West Tournie in Vegas. It has been awhile since we have actually stopped and spent time there--as opposed to just driving through on our way to Disneyland. We had a nice, relaxing time. We went shopping, ate delicious food, more shopping, and had a plethora of basketball games to attend. Unfortunately the weather was not quite ready for us to sit out in the sun by a pool but I did manage to finish our book club book-- The Help. If you are at all interested in books this is a great one! I LOVED it!!!! Anyway, we decided o come home a day earlier then planned because BYU lost Friday night and also because there was a storm moving in that would maybe hinder our drive home. Luckily we were able to get home fine, however, we were lucky. The weather was horrible in parts and we were able to avoid a collision with a diesel that jackknifed into a van right in front of us and the cars behind s were able to stop in time but cars behind them were not so we were stuck between two collisions. After making sure everyone was okay we could escape by driving on the snow and weeds to get to a country road about 20 feet away. Otherwise, we would have been there a long time. Other than that there were no other problems we were just glad to be home. Thanks to all our family members who took their turn watching Chase over the weekend. He had a blast and so did we!
