Henderson, Nevada!

Bobby and I took a quick trip to Henderson/Las Vegas to visit Emily and her family and for Sarah's baptism. We caravaned with my mom and dad (who brought Ellie and Scot!) on Thursday. The drive was not near as bad as I thought it would be. On Friday Bobby and I drove to the Hoover Dam. We took an awesome tour! We got to go into the dam in all these cool tunnels and stuff! It was awesome. I learned that Bobby is afraid of heights. Some how I never new this. haha.

(There are kind of a lot of pics in this post, so it keeps going and going, so don't stop looking until you can't scroll down anymore! ha Happy Reading!)

Us in our "hard" hats, we took the Hard Hat Tour^

After the dam we drove to the strip and went to the MGM where we got to watch the UFC weigh-ins! For FREE!! It was really cool, Brock Lesnar is huge. My camera was being slow and I didn't get the best pictures, but you can kinda get the idea here.


Stephan Bonnar weighin' in ^


Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin doin' their thang. ^

Bobby's favorite hotel to see was New York New York.



We went to this cool Shark Reef Aquarium on Friday night with Matt and Emily at Mandalay Bay. It was so neat! There was a Komodo Dragon, an Asian Water Monitor, some freaky sharks, piranhas, jellies and tons of other weird fish!

Water Monitor just chillllin.


SHARKKKK!!! (one, of toooo many, at least they aren't in the ocean)


Our favorite fish! It was a giant blue thing with HUGE lips and crazy eyes!

On Saturday, Sarah was baptized! It was awesome, I love Bbaptisms it's usually guaranteed you'll feel the Spirit! Here is the beautiful girl and her Papa!



Ok, so as a kid I hated fireworks, including Sparklers, but now that I'm all growed up (yeah, right ha) I was WAY excited to play with sparklers. I think I had more fun than the kids!



We had a wonderful trip, I was so happy to see Em, Matt, Sarah, Andrew and Baby James. I miss them already and I think we're gonna have to go back again soon...
