Shawn left on a flight on Wednesday morning for Vegas to do a little work at the HDR office in Vegas. Lexi and I went to the temple with the youth at noon and then hit the road for Vegas. We listened to the Book "Wolf Hollow" on the way down. We pulled up to the hotel at 6 p.m. and just caught Shawn returning from the office. We walked to a yummy Italian place that night. We slept at the the hotel Shawn stayed at for work and then on Friday morning we switched to Home2Suites by the convention center. Lexi's first game was at 12:45. They lost unfortunately. Then the next game was at 4:30 p.m. They lost that game too. Both teams were pretty tough. Lexi got to play and she was doing some great things. When we left the convention center, Shawn got a call from Stephanie Horning. She was at the basketball tournament with Walker (who was playing) and her 2 girls. She had got rear ended in her mini van and the car raced away. Shawn ran to where she told him she was and he ended up trying to help her the rest of the night. She had to get her car towed and wait for the police. It was a frustrating night, everything took so long and it was 110 degrees out. We ended up eating dinner at a pizza place at about 9:30 p.m.
Saturday's game was at 11:30. If they won they got to play at 3:00. It was a tough fought game and the girls were able to pull off a win. They faced the team they played in the 2nd game yesterday. Unfortunately, some of Lexi's players got hurt in the game before and it made it challenging to get in sink! They lost the second game of the day on Saturday. After the game we went to the Outlet Mall to check out LuLuLemon. Then we went to a really yummy Taco restaurant in the area. We came home and swam for a bit and then watch a movie on the tv. Sunday they played for 3rd or 4th place at 11:30. They lost because they were down so many players. This was a good experience for Lexi. There are some tough teams and players out there but I know Lexi is willing to put the time and work in to get better.
We left right after the game. We picked up Steph and the girls. Walker got a ride back with a teammate (which made the ride a little more comfortable in our car). Fran met us at 106th South to pick them up.
It was fun driving around Vegas seeing Ryan :)
We drove the strip on Friday morning.
Our hotel was super convenient to the convention center and then we got to ride on the "Vegas Loop" to get to us a little closer to the basketball convention area
The Hornings minivan!
Playing cards in the hotel room to pass the time
Lots of Basketball!
Fun Taco place on Saturday night!
Shawn and I would get up early each morning to walk before it got too hot. It was nice to get some miles with him.
