Mesquite

Adam and I decided that we never do anything different, so we decided at last minute to go to Mesquite for a weekend. It so happened the day after our chat, Adam was offered Nascar Truck Series tickets for Las Vegas for the weekend, so that was the excuse we needed. I had never been to Mesquite or Vegas so I was pretty exciting.
Here's Elaina in front of a nascar.

Here's all the cars.
It was pretty loud once the race got started but we had head phones for Elaina and then covered Austin's ears. The people around us were so friendly. It was a really fun time.

Here are the kids getting ready to go swimming. The water was really cold. Austin was not a fan.

Sunday's Walk

Sunday we went on a family walk in Provo Canyon. It was really nice and Elaina enjoyed seeing all the bike riders and kids. As I was looking through my pictures I found it kind of funny that I had documented each step in our walk. Here is how the walk played out:
Here's Austin, he got to ride in the stroller the whole time.

First, Elaina had total freedom and could ride wherever she wanted. We quickly found she liked to ride in the path of the bikers.

Second, Adam tied our doggy leesh (no we don't have a dog, this is solely used on Elaina)to Elaina's bike so he could pull her in the right direction. This worked for a long time.
Third, Elaina wanted to be the one pulling her bike. This was making out walk go way too slow, so this step didn't last very long.
Forth, Elaina upset that she couldn't pull her trike got to ride on Adam's shoulders for the rest of the walk.

Race Day

Today we got to go to Miller Motor Speedway because Adam was apart of the honor guard for the race. While Adam was doing the flag ceremony Elaina and I got to wait on pit road. It was really cool to see the cars and crews getting ready for the race. Elaina loved the cars! She kept saying, "Wow, cool!" each time a different car would start up their engines or drive past where we were standing. After the opening ceremony we went in the stands and watched a little of the race. Elaina thought it was so cool, but pretty load too, so she had her ears covered a lot of the time.
Adam's the one holding the flag.

Mini Golfing

Adam and Alicia came down last weekend, so we got to hang out with them for a little bit. We went miniture golfing. I thought Elaina would love it but it got old really quick for her. She did love picking up everyone's balls after they hit them, though. I think she thought she was doing us all a favor. Oh, well. It was still a good time.

Pretty Girl!
