A little vacation

Shon had to go to a conference in Jackpot Nevada last week so the rest of us decided to tag along. We had a hotel room for Tuesday night and Wednesday night there, and then went on to Boise for the next few nights. We were planning on going to Boise that weekend anyway because we had tickets to a BSU game and a hotel stay there that we had won from a work thing. So when this conference came up, we decided to make a little vacation of it. It was very fun to get away. The kids loved it. The hotel in Jackpot was of course attached to a big casino and we had to walk through the casino to get to the room. Ty and Zack were a little mezmorised by the lights and sounds and would ask us when they could play them. But they loved the room and just the novelty I think. There was only an outdoor pool at the hotel but not too far from there was a rec center that we could get into for free because we were hotel guests. The pool was a hit with all of them. It was a little cold so they actually didn't stay as long as I thought they would, but still loved it. The center had all sorts of water things for them to use so it was great.


Here is the blue field that looks so weird to me on TV. It actually doesn't look so weird in person. It was very exciting to be at the game. I could have cheered for the Aggies because I really like Utah State, but I didn't. Actually I probably would have gotten beat up if I did. Boise won 49 to 14 so it was a blow out but still very fun.
