Viva Las Vegas!

Kevin has taken the three oldest girls to the Vegas Bowl and Abby and I have stayed home, but Kevin wanted the whole family to go this year, so we took off on Monday the 21st. We did some Christmas shopping in St. George in the afternoon while Kevin worked and then we headed to Vegas. Kevin and I were so happy to expose our girls to pole dancers in the Planet Hollywood Casino on the way to check into our rooms. :( But once we got past that, our rooms were pretty cool. The next morning we walked around and had a yummy breakfast at a restaurant in the mall connected to the hotel. There were plenty of other BYU fans roaming around.

We had a traditional pre-game meal at In and Out Burger and then headed to Sam Boyd Stadium. The weather wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't been windy. We were dressed for the cold but it was still pretty nippy.

It was a fun game, although we were a little nervous when Oregon State scored right away. But then it was all BYU. In fact, we left the game with about 7 minutes to go. Kevin would usually never do something like leave a game early but it was pretty cold and he was worried about the traffic. Since it was pretty certain we were going to win, we headed back to St. George. Good old Abbey Inn- you don't have to worry about pole dancers there!

Anyway, it was a fun pre-Christmas activity and the whole family was able to go. Casey hasn't always been available so it was fun that she got to come too!
