Since Kyle and I lucked out and managed to have a 3 day weekend off together from both of our school schedules- we decided to pack up the car and run away to Vegas for the weekend! It was so much fun!
Thursday: As soon as Kyle got off work we were loaded up into the car and on the road- it wouldn't have been too bad for a drive except for the stupid Utah County traffic (I hate that stretch of I-15). We got in at 11ish- and Lola decided it was play time- all night long! She decided we needed to be up at 2,4, and 6 because she was well rested from our 6.5 hour car ride
Friday: Kyle decided that he goes on vacation to hang out at the Anderton home and not do anything- so that is a lot of what we did. His only trip away was to petsmart for some treats and a new floating toy for Lola- otherwise we lounged around the pool and hung out with his family :)

Saturday: We spent the entire day playing outside and enjoying the 80 degree weather! Kyle, Gary, and Lola played outside and ran
 |
| Lola's trick- whenever you start running she decides it is leash tug of war time |
Then we headed off to Lake Mead. Lola finally went swimming for the first time (with a lot of encouragement and possibly being pushed in) But she loved running along the shoreline and playing in the shallow water
 |
| She would only go where she could see the ground to get her ball |
 |
| Walking herself |
 |
| Catch with rocks to get her to go into the water |
 |
| Trying to get her tenis ball back without getting wet |
 |
| Ducks! |

| Drying off before we headed back |
After we got home it was back to the pool for more swimming

| Swimming! |
It was such a fun weekend! All the outdoor excitement was followed by a barbecue and shopping :)
