Chris, Emma and I flew to Las Vegas so that Chris could participate in the "Showdown at Sundown" triathlon in Henderson, NV. Emma did a great job on her first flight there and back. She is truly such an easy baby! Our flight was delayed 2 hours too and she still just ate and slept. Chris took an earlier flight during the day to get checked in for the race and Emma and I flew out that night. My mom came down to watch Caden while we were gone for the weekend. Sounds like the two of them had fun together while we were gone! Here are some pictures from the weekend away.
On her first plane ride!
Hanging out in the hotel room
More hanging out...we were probably putting Chris's bike together
We crossed over into AZ and drove across the Hoover Dam, we are on our way back to NV
Getting ready to start the bike - they canceled the swim portion of the Tri because of high winds. They couldn't keep the buoys anchored in the water - they were blowing around too much. Chris still did the swim portion anyways since they delayed the start of the race by an hour or so. 
So they sent each biker off by number every 30 seconds...
And off he goes...up a big hill to start the race
Coming in off the bike
Coming in from the run for the finish. Chris placed 2nd in his age group division. He did great! Although, he says he'll never do this race again because they only had 1 water stop on the bike in 56 miles. Very poor planning by the race officials. 
On our way home!
