Spilsbury Trip: Las Vegas, Nevada

We left Arizona for Vegas. This was Omar's first trip. The main reason that we took the trip to Vegas is so that Omar could spend time with his parents. unfortunately, we weren't able to spend as much time as we had hoped with them because they ended up leaving early.
 
LAS VEGAS SHOWS
 
We had a few other goals in mind as well. We both really wanted to see the Cirque de Soleil "O" which is the one that takes place in the water. It ended up having black out days so we were not able to see it. We did a few other shows though. We saw the Jabbawockeez, Tournament of Kings, and the Variety Show. We decided that we will just have to return to Vegas because there were many things we didn't get a chance to do.

At the Kings Tournement - cornish hens are cute - but my pookie is cuter!

We were team Russia at the show. Here with Omar's brother Aaron and nephew Jayden
Jabbawookeez!

I could watch and listen to the Bellagio fountains all day long! Love it!

FAMILY PICTURES
We found this photographer last minute to take some family pictures as this would probably be our last time together for quite a while since Aaron is getting ready for a mission. We went to this beautiful state park outside of Vegas. Afterward there was this small little market that had some cool fruits, some delicious Argentinean food, and some other odd things.

Spilsbury Trip: Arizona

We have never as a married couple visited Omar's brother - Eddie and his wife Megan and our nephews: Jayden, Tage, and Chanson. On our flight over Omar got really sick and spent most of the first 2 days sick in bed. We arrived on New Year's Eve. We did some really fun activities together...eating delicious food, shopping for make-up, playing games with my nephews, and much more. I had a great time with them and wished they lived closer to us.

INDY CAR RACING
I had a blast racing SO fast on this track. I won every round by going the fastest. It was so much fun!







THE DUTTONS SHOW
The Duttons have been on America's Got Talent and have their own theater there in Arizona and also have a theater in Branson. They are incredible violinists. We had a really nice time going to the show.
