Las Vegas Day #2

I was out of the hotel early this morning to get Reanna and Allison to the field by 7:00.  As we arrived, Taylor called to ask if I had her purse in my trunk…nope!  Luckily Allison remembered seeing it on the back of Taylor's chair at Subway last night when we ate at the hotel.  After some searching and praying, she was happy and grateful to learn that an employee turned it in with everything in it!  
Leslie and the big kids got the field just in time for the game and it was a nice 2-0 win over Irvine Slammers!
The team advanced to the Semi-finals with 3 shut out victories! 
We celebrated and killed time between games on The Strip!  
We parked at New York New York and got some treats at Hershey's!

Chocolate-covered Rice Krispie Treat and S'more…yum! 
 Andrew had fun seeing all of the Kansas gear in the Adidas store 
 and Allison stocked up at the M&M store.
 These 3 had quite a good time together this weekend and Taylor and Andrew were great cheerleaders during Allison's games!
 We got a delicious lunch at the very crowded Shake Shack
and left time to ride the roller coaster at New York New York before heading back to the hotel for a little break before the night game.
 Arsenal faced their toughest competition tonight.  They were down 1-0 pretty early against Claremont Stars, but never quit and tied it up with just minutes left.  However I knew that meant penalty kicks again to determine who would advance to the finals.  Again Allison's team was amazing!  All four of her teammates scored their goals and the opponents only scored 2.  One went wide and Allison blocked the other to win the game! On to the finals tomorrow!
 We were pretty tired after the busy day, but stopped at The Strip again for dinner at Caesar's Palace
 and some shopping at the Nike Store.  The Strip is exhausting-so much car traffic, foot traffic, smoke-filled casinos and lots of chaos, but it was fun for the day!
