Vegas, Baby!

For Jeff's birthday, I gave him a session at the Richard Petty driving school at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He got to drive the #07 Jack Daniels car for 18 laps. Being a girl, I don't get what it is about fast cars, but it was a hit! He had a blast and I quite enjoyed watching him have so much fun!

Jeff gets ready to start his laps in pit road.



This is Jeff posing like a dork in his jumpsuit before he drove.


Landon and Lindsay Saurey went with us. Landon and Jeff discuss their first round of driving as they wait for their second round. They got to drive 8 laps, then they took a break and got some pointers from the instructors and then drove the last 10 laps.

This is Jeff on the track.




On Sunday we drove out to the Hoover Dam. It was amazing! If you haven't been there, you should put this on your bucket list! Pretty cool!



This picture shows a bridge that they are building across the canyon next to the dam. It was crazy!





Sunday afternoon we drove out to Pahrump to see Jeff's mom and his brother. They were having a BBQ at the park. So we got to spend a little time with them. In this picture from left to right are: Whitney (our niece), Jeff, his twin brother, Joe and his mom, Sue.



Shanda and Joe, and Jeff and Hali.



On Friday before we left for Vegas we went to Grand Targhee. Jeff and the kids snowboarded and I skiied. We couldn't have had more perfect weather for it. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast!




This is Jeff and the kids on the ski lift.



This is our nephew Foster and the view from the top. It is a gorgeous view of the Grand Tetons! This is God's country!
