Nelson Family Vegas Vacation (Feb 11-13)

My parents have been doing a Vegas Family Vaca for some time now. It started with my dad attending some work obligations and us joining him for the weekend since we were so close to him (4 hrs away driving from BYU). It's turned in to more of a yearly vaca with the family and for the past two years my parents have flown Chance & I out to enjoy the fun.


Here are the Nelson siblings

So everyone went ziplining at a place in Vegas. While they did that, the pregnant lady, mom and little Dex stayed and chased around birds at the hotel for an hour. He loved it!

I got this photo from Sabrina-- I'm not sure what her and Chance are doing here, but it made me laugh!

Shawn ziplining (so serious!)

Here's a photo of Shawn that I love. I have such a handsome brother! =)

We went to the Price is Right gameshow. I LOVE gameshows. Sadly, none of us were called up, but it was so fuN!

Dex turned two the next week so we had a mini party for him.

Chance woke me up to a surprise baby shower from the fam. So nice of them!

Am I looking chubby in the face or what? Thanks guys-- I was TOTALLY surprised!

Preparing for the Stratosphere 855 ft (105 story) free fall! So scary!

They don't actually slow you down till you are right at the bottom and I was suprised at how fast they're going when they land!

Vegas was so nice. It's fun to do fun things, but most of all it's nice to spend time with the family. I feel like I should cherish these moments more and more as they are probably going to happen less and less frequently in the future. Plus, we'll have a baby so things will be more exciting, but the family visit/ vacation dynamic will definitely be different! Love you guys and can't wait to see you at Xmas.
