The Scanlon men set out to build a snow igloo. It is looking a little more like a snow pyramid.  Todd assures me the engineering is high quality.

The boys from work and I flew out to Las Vegas on Sunday, 01/13/13 for Shot Show 2013.  On Monday, we spent the day out at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's Shooting Range for one of our client's Range Day, so that we could allow people to demo the rifle we distribute.  IT WAS FREEZING... in the 20's all day, with unbelievable wind.   Shot Show started Tuesday morning and ran every day through Friday and was so unbelievable.  It takes you that many days to even be able to walk the entire show - not including the many, many meetings we had set up with clients.

Tuesday night, our client Renegade hosted an open bar party in the VooDoo Lounge on top of the Rio Hotel - UNBELIEVABLE VIEW!  It was a lot of fun, and I am sure my co-workers will never view me the same.  Oh Well.  By day three I was exhausted.  Hungover, walking all day, dehydrated.  Just a mess.

I did learn how to play craps - and actually left the table UP!  Woot!  We ate at some good restaurants - Gordan Ramsey's Burgr, Emeril Lagassi's Table 10.  I also got to meet some celebrities... Stone Cold Steve Austin, Willy from Duck Dynasty.  Steven Segall was there as well as all the people from "Swamp People."

It was a fun trip, also tiring because it was actually work.  I was happy to be home at the end of the week.  Hopefully I will be invited back next year! 

2012 was a good year... We bought a new house, were very busy with baseball and soccer, started a new job, turned 40, 36, 11 and 8, started 3rd grade and 6th grade.  So much happened.  We can't wait to see what 2013 brings us!!!
