Las Vegas/LAX and Red Rock Canyon

We took the whole family to Las Vegas this weekend for Aiden's Best of the West Lacrosse Tournament. His is still playing Long Stick Middie (LSM).   They played in the U-15 age group (up through 9th grade) though all of them are only 13 and 14 and in 7th and 8th grade.  Aiden should've been in the U-13 age, but his coach likes them to play up.  They lost all 4 games, but it should make them better when they play their own age group.  

Saturday, Trudi and Chase went to Red Rock Canyon, just outside of Las Vegas.  Aaron volunteered to plan the team BBQ, so he and Aubrie stayed for that.  Aubrie had a great time playing games with all the kids and walking strangers' dogs.  :)

Chase is at the very top
