1st stop: Las Vegas for Taylor to compete in a National Dance Competition at the Paris Hotel
The plan: 2 nights in Las Vegas, dance early Wednesday morning, head out to Utah.
Reality: 8AM call time, packed up and checked out of the hotel, Taylor dances, wait for awards, Walk the Dinosaur did well and was picked to compete in the World Series the next night. What????? We did not think they would be chosen. We were in total shock as we immediately called the Timeshare to reserve 2 more nights.
The World Series was pretty intense complete with crazy parents in line hours before it started, a stampede when the doors finally opened, and my sister being cussed out by an old man. However once inside there was lots of energy to cheer on our little girls competing against girls way older than them. Despite the curve ball to our plans it was super fun to watch the girls dance 1 more time.

Its always fun to go to Vegas and visit Aunt Tracy.
We were happy Grandma J was there staying in her timeshare. Her pool was awesome and perfect for the kids. They swam ALL day and barely came out to eat.
The M&M store is a family favorite. We discovered Pretzel M&M's this time.....love them!
Andy and Ashlyn needed some entertainment while we waited 2 hours for Taylor to dance so they got to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower
I love my dancing girl. And I love the faces of the girls next to her...hahaha! It was early!
I am so proud of Taylor.I am always in awe of her when she performs on stage in front of hundreds of people. We have decided to take a break from competitive dance and although it is a little sad,
we can't wait to see what she does next.
stay tuned: more road trip adventures to follow..........
