Viva Las Vegas!

The weekend of April 13-15, we had the chance to go to Las Vegas with the Utah Pipe Band. They competed at the Scottish Festival there. 

We drove down Friday afternoon. We quickly learned how fun it is to travel with a baby... (sarcasm). He did NOT like to be in his carseat for that long. I don't either but I know better than to cry the whole way ;)

Las Vegas did not have it's usual hot weather when we first got there. It was so so cold on Saturday. The wind was blowing most of the day and it was rainy off and on.

Then to make matters worse, Axton had a blow out.  I was reluctant to change his diaper to begin with because we were outside all day and it was cold- I didn't want to expose his bare bum.  But the wind died down shortly so I changed his (wet) diaper really fast. About a half hour to 45 minutes later, I suspected he was poopy. Jon took him out of the Baby Bjorn and he had poop all up his front!  I didn't have a change of clothes and we were MILES (approx 15-20 minutes) away from our hotel with all our stuff! Fortunately, when Axton was born, my SIL Kristin had made us an emergency kit for our car that consisted of a few necessities, including some PJ'S!  Saved the day!! 

Sunday, however, (the day we went home) was beautiful weather. Sunny and actually quite hot.

We had a lot of fun but I don't think we'll be planning that long of a road trip again for quite some time.

On the way to Vegas.

Made in America with Scottish parts.

He didn't complain about the cold as much as I did.

Axton loved the lights at Fremont Street.
