Vegas Meet~1/17/2010

When I found out that Jaden's meet would be held in the afternoon I didn't like the idea, but what could I do? Gary, Jaden, and I headed down to Vegas around noon. Adam had to do his prep for his colonoscopy, so it worked out nice that Sis and Koda could stay home with him. Sis turned into mother hen, and made a nurse outfit to help her daddy out as much as she could!
We found the JW Marriott Resort and Spa easily, thanks to the magical voice that speaks to me in my car (aka GPS). We went in and had lunch, and still had just over an hour before the meet started. We wanted good seats, so we headed over to check in. I was the first one there-but I wasn't allowed in until the level 4 meet left the gym~no biggie, I will wait. Then we found out they were running behind, so I told Gary to go find a TV in the casino and watch the football game, and had Jaden relax on a couch nearby. I waited, and waited, and waited. The boys were supposed to warm-up at 4:45 and start at 5:00-it started at 7:00! When we were finally allowed in, even though I had been the first person in line, standing there for almost three hours, when I rushed in to get a seat on the front row we found out that someone from the previous meet had put reserve papers, jackets, and bags all over the front two rows! We were able to get a third row seat, but we were annoyed! Jaden did great, even though he was REALLY nervous, and tired, he finished at 10:30 and just wanted to get home! Jaden goes to bed around 8ish~so to say he was tired is an understatement! Not to mention he woke up anxious to go at 5:30 that morning! We didn't get home until after midnight! Thank goodness Gary went with us to keep me awake on the drive home, Jdog wouldn't have been much help, he fell asleep as soon as we hit the freeway!
