Thanksgiving in Vegas

We spent Thanksgiving in Vegas this year and it was a blast!! The boys had a football tournament that they played in. They ended up playing 3 games. The first game was Friday night at 6. We played a California team that ended up beating us, but the boys played awesome and gave it their all. The next morning they played at 8 against a Texas team. They started out a little sluggish but the second half they didn't let them score at all. Which was very impressive. The third game they played at 3:30 against a local Vegas team and held their own pretty good. That Vegas team really under estimated us.
This was a totally different experience for the boys. Teams that come to this tournament live and breath football. They had teams from Alaska and Canada even show up. We all had a great experience and hope to be able to make this a yearly thing. Hopefully with a bigger team. They only had 14 players and had to play both defense and offense. Conner was given the nickname Little Blue Shoes by some of the refs and parents. He really doesn't like it because it has "little" in it and he is not little.

We had alot of fun on the strip. We walked from Circus Circus down to Coke and M&M world. It was about 6 miles there and back. We were all tired after that and the boys still had a game to play that night. So we went and got pizza and rested in our rooms.
