Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas for our vacation in February. Who would have thought that there would be rain storm after rain storm in the desert? It never rains in Vegas!


One of the days in Vegas, we got the all day pass to Gameworks. Yeah, all day to play video games. I opted out of that one. The boys loved it (including Tom). They used their pass until it was almost expired 11:30 p.m.


Despite all the rain, we were able to go four-wheeling three times. We found a great spot just north of Vegas called Nellis Dunes. There were a lot of trails and hills. My favorite part were the sand dunes. Payton didn't like them because his tires kept spinning. We don't have paddle tires. He couldn't get enough momentum to make it to the top of the hills.
Unfortunately there was a lot of mud that we tried to avoid. Brandon managed to get completely covered in mud in less than 30 seconds. Thank goodness it's sandy mud. It brushed off after it dried. Tom fell on his quad which wasn't too great because he just had knee surgery two weeks before! I just goes to show that women are better drivers! He just doesn't want to sit around. I took a picture of his purple shin and ankle. It looks ugly. He wouldn't let me put it on the blog.

I've never ridden on sand before. It was so smooth and pretty. No rocks or trees or bushes in the way. We were right next to Nellis Air Force Base. We could see all different kids of jets doing flight patterns.
