Las Vegas Basketball Tournament 2015

Viva Las Vegas! Ben was invited to play in a basketball tournament in Las Vegas with his old Wild Cats basketball team.  He was excited to reunite with his good friends, and fabulous coach, Mitch Smith.

After our fun break in St. George, Lizzy, Ben, Meagan, Mason and I traveled down to Las Vegas for the tournament.  The team, as well as many other teams, stayed at the JW Marriott Resort.  Memories came flooding back as I made the reservation.  I remember many years traveling with Mike and Steve to attend the same tournament.  It made me a little teary.

The resort is beautiful! We had such a wonderful time basking in the sun, reuniting with wonderful friends, and of course playing a lot of basketball.  Mitch is such a fun coach, he even had a scavenger hunt for the boy's at night.  He may have gotten in a little trouble with security when a clue was hidden at the top of the waterfall.

Ben was a great contributor to the team.  Unfortunately, they lost in the second round. We made it home just in time for the Easter Eve.
