One crazy day

 Saturday morning started at 3:00 am.  Kylee and I went to Las Vegas for Owens game.  It was the first game of the season, he started, and they played in the new Raiders NFL stadium.  It was pretty fun.  We actually missed our flight at 5:40 am though.  Now I know how to get a park and where to get a shuttle, but that morning I had no idea and we ended up walking WAY further than we had to and eventually turning around, going back to the car and starting over.  That got us behind and even after running all the way to our gate, we were about a minute away when we heard the announcement of the flight being closed.  It actually worked out better though because they were awesome to get us on another flight, even though we had to go to Oakland first, we still made it to Vegas in perfect timing because Dave & Sheila picked us right up at the airport and took us to the stadium.  So it was a lot of walking, running, and stress, but we got there and it was exciting to see Owen playing in such an awesome atmosphere.  He said it was so surreal to be there.  After the game, Stewarts took us back to the airport, but our flight didn't leave until about 10:00 pm.  By time we got there and sat in the air conditioning, we almost just didn't ever want to get back up to get on the plane again.  But finally at about 2:00 am we were back in Utah and got a couple of hours of sleep before Kylee drove home to Pocatello and I helped Gator with all the dogs.  It was nuts, but totally worth it.
