This was seriously one of the best weekends, from start to finish, beginning with Friday and going clear through Monday. Friday Night, Mati got here from Provo so the crew came over for munchies and games. Although, it had been so long since we saw him, we mostly just sat around and visited.
Saturday Morning, Calli, Mati and Levi got up early and went rappelling.
Sadie, Adam and I drove in to meet them and watch.
Giving her a lesson
She was a natural.
Calli and Levi belaying the rope
I couldn't let the young ones show us up so I took a turn as well.
It had been a while but Mati was a great teacher.
Mati's Turn
Levi's Turn. He does canyoneering a lot so he had all sorts of tricks up his sleeves.
Chatting at the bottom. It was a great start to our day.
Around 2pm we ALL loaded into the car to head to Las Vegas. The girls insisted that we all drive together. We had 8 people in an 8 person car. We were cozy but had a blast.
Mati was happy with the treat bag.
Calli cuddling with Levi and Mati cuddling with Calli. Haha!
I love Levi's expression in this one. We pulled into Vegas and went straight to the outlets. Gentry wanted to do some more school clothes shopping.
After shopping, we went to Raising Canes. This was Adam and I's first time. Everyone else had been before.
You would have thought we were on the BYU campus. The entire restaurant was full of BYU fans. At one point they all started chanting "BYU, BYU" It was so funny. Who knew mormons loved Raising Canes so much! After eating, we all headed to Allegiant Stadium around 5:30pm. We wanted plenty of time to walk around and see the stadium.
We all got excited as we approached.
Masked up and walking through security
Grass field outside that they can rotate with the turf field inside...unreal!
It was massive.
Quick pic of our crew before heading in.
Home of the Raiders
The stadium even had escalators and elevators.
Love this picture of Calli and Levi telling the paparazzi, "no more pictures please"
It was incredible.
Found our seats on the 50 yard line.
Peristyle Club and tribute torch. This is the only club open to the public. It was pretty impressive.
There was a bar encircling the torch
Looking out the huge windows to the strip.
My Crew!!
Let's Go!
A few minutes into the game BYU player, Keenan Ellis was injured and taken off the field in a stretcher. It was pretty scary.
Team and coaches gathered around
This is how Mati looked through the entire game. This was his first time in a real stadium.
For the halftime show both bands came out and performed. It was awesome!
Zach Wilson also made an appearance. The crowd went wild. Also, to kick off the game, Rudy Ruettiger carried the BYU flag out. So that was cool too!
My kiddos. The girls love calling Mati a brother and had to get a "sibling" pic.
It was great game with BYU taking the “W”
Leaving the game and stadium. It was around 1:30 am Utah time. We pulled into town around 3:30am. What a fun, full day!!
Sunday, after church...and naps, the crew came over again for pizzas. Love having my kitchen full of my family.
After dinner, we watched the new Disney's Cruella, ate dessert and played games.
Sadie braiding Mati's man bun.
It was another fun, late night. Monday, I didn't have to work, it felt good to sleep in. Adam went in but then was off by 9:00am. He took a quick nap before the Labor Day festivities began. Calli wasn't feeling well, Mati and Austin headed back to Provo and Levi was with Calli, so the rest of us went to a movie. Then had a BBQ and played corn hole and games. It was a practically perfect in every way weekend, full of family, food, football and fun! Love my Crew!
