LAS VEGAS!!!

Oliver and Grandma- Happy in his hat
Las Vegas here we come!

We had a great time in Vegas! Oliver had so much fun at the Stratosphere! He loved being with his Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma! Oliver loved going to Circus Circus and playing the games and watching a juggler! He also loved watching his Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma all try and get him a sesame street character from a claw machine. And guess what---Mommy tried last and she got a Cookie Monster and then an Elmo. We were all so excited, jumping up and down-- people passing by probably thought we had just won a million dollars at a slot machine--but no it was just two beloved characters, that Oliver spent the rest of the time taking care of!

We kind of had fun at the running expo- it got to crowded so we left and then went to a Cowboy Expo next door. That was more our pace with a two year old! We even got to go through it with Aunt Jess and Uncle Chad! Oliver had fun seeing them in Vegas! On Saturday night we all went to the top of the Stratosphere, Oliver fell asleep in his stroller so he didn't get to see the beautiful view, but he did like the view from our room!

He woke up on Sunday morning to find Mommy and Daddy gone! They went to the Rock n' Roll 1/2 Marathon that started at the Mandalay Bay! Daddy was such a trooper he found parking after Mommy got out of the car on the freeway on ramp (there was crazy traffic) and then he hung out while Mommy ran. Mommy got her best time yet 1 hour 45 min 21 sec. It was fast, flat, and a lot of fun running on the whole strip to the old part of Vegas and then back- with bands and crowds the whole way! Grandma and Oliver even saw Mommy running past a news camera on the news! They could also see part of the race from our Hotel rooms! It was great fun and then we drove back home as fast as lightening McQueen- Daddy had to go set traps on Miramar!

Fun Weekend!

**Oliver has been to 5 states now! Washington, California, Oregon, Nevada, and Indiana**
