Memorial Weekend-Lake Mead/Vegas!

On our way to Vegas after hitting the lake all day-I got FRIED! haha..I thought that sunscreening twice would be enough, but I should have known that I burn like crazy and it definitely was not enough! I was pretty miserable at this point in time ha, but it was a way fun day at the lake!

Brooks driving along, he told us several times that he is a "professional" driver. So I guess I should feel very safe with him driving hahaha.

Redneck's turn to drive-you can tell he is really focused...probably on trying to not fall asleep since we got like zero sleep the night before. Also yes I was being a creeper with the last couple of pics haha, I think I'm funny.


Me & Shay attempting a cute picture, but keep in mind we had no sleep and then spent the whole day on the lake so this is as good as it gets!
So basically memorial weekend was a blast!! I'm so mad though because I made sure to charge my camera up really good so that I could take a lot of pictures of the weekend and then I forgot to take my camera out on the boat so I couldn't take any of all the fun lake stuff, and then basically I forgot to take pics all weekend-I guess I got caught up in all the fun! So I have 4 pictures sorry! But it was a really fun weekend. My friend Redneck had some friends down in Vegas so we decided to get some people together and head down there for the weekend. So me, Redneck, our friends Brooks and Shay came with us. Me & Brooks drove to Salina and then Red picked us up there and then we picked up Shay in St.George (She was one of my roomies down in St.George!) We didnt leave till we got off of work on Friday so not till like 5, so needless to say we were driving all night! We decided to camp out at Lake Mead Friday night because we were going to spend all saturday at the lake. We finally made it to the lake at about 1 in the morning (Vegas time- so like 2 our time! ) So we drove FOREVER! So we were dead tired by the time we got there..but we were really smart and just packed a tarp and sleeping bags so we layed the tarp out and just slept on top of it, but the ground was SOO hard! Also it started to rain for like 10 minutes so we all had to huddle up for awhile underneath the tarp..Everyone else was sweating to death all night after the rain let up, but for some reason I was freezing!! So needless to say none of us got any sleep, I think I maybe got 10 minutes haha..So we ended up hitting the lake at like 5 in the morning! We met some more friends out at the lake so we had quite a few people out there..It was so fun! We wakeboarded, tubed, fished, and swam!! I didn't do to good wakeboarding so I was a little frustrated with myself, but it's the first time back this season so I guess I just need to get warmed up or something! But it was alot of fun, other than I got soo burnt! I was in alot of pain all weekend because of it. So then after the lake we headed up to Vegas which was like another hour long drive! We got there and took a much needed nap and then got ready to hit the town! We went to Red Rock Casino, it's a really nice casino (As nice as a casino can be anyways haha) but I did my first slot machine- I figured out how to use the machines this time! and I'm out 5 bucks! Dang, I'm no good, but don't worry i'm not a big fan of gambling so it won't be happening again..The boys got a little caught up with all that gambling stuff haha so us girls hit the Arcade!! And I won big time there haha 247 tickets, it was alot of fun..We ended up starting to head back sunday, so we spent Sunday night in St.George just chilling with some friends in St.George and then we got up early Monday and headed back to Emery!! I got to Huntington around two and my family was out to the desert, so I headed out to the desert and did a little 4 wheeling, and wiffle ball!! It was alot of fun..I had such a good weekend and had a blast with friends and family!! I love weekends like this where it's just non stop fun-however I was very worn out after it was over!! I definitely didn't want to get up to work the next day, but oh well, thats how it goes!!
