It's that time of year again...the NFR!! I have no idea why I like it so much but I look forward to it every year. This year was no different. We had a fun group go down and we did LOTS of shopping so how could I complain? Ross, Dustin and I flew down Friday morning and Marlene, Bonnie and Andrea met us down there later that night. We walked the strip, shopped at Cowboy Christmas, watched the rodeo, ate tons of food, laughed a lot and just had a good time. We only saw Jacob and Brittney for a minute when they dropped off the truck for us to drive home...wish it could have been longer. It was just fun to get away from work and have some fun with family and friends! Another year down for the NFR in the history books!
Ross relaxing...the flight really wore him out!
Ross showing off his mad bull riding skills
The Bellagio...my favorite thing to see at Christmas in Vegas!!
We stayed at the Tropicana...this car is from the 1950's and has less than 100 miles on it! Here we have Ross, Connie, Dustin, Andrea, Marlene and Bonnie
We were too cheap to pay for good tickets so we were on the VERY last row. At first we thought it wasn't going to be so great but then we realized we could stand up whenever we wanted and not block anybody...it was fantastic!
Bonnie is putting a time capsule in her cabin and wanted a picture of me in it (I actually made the suggestion and she agreed)...so this is he picture that will be placed in it. I feel so honored, Bonnie!!!
Ross driving the truck home...it was all going great until it just died on the freeway!
We thought something was majorly wrong...long story short, we ran out of diesel. I know now that the fuel gauge is off! It said we had 1/4 tank left...but after looking at everything possible under the hood we put diesel in it and it started right up and we were on our way. It'll be a fun story to tell...
Such a fun trip! Thanks to everyone who came along...hasta next year!!
