last weekend i hopped on a plane and jetted to vegas.
i was headed to watch my sister-in-law marge in her grappling tournament.
what is grappling you might ask.
it is like wresting in that you can win by gaining more points than your opponent through different move and holds;
but it is different, in that you try to get the other person to tap out by doing certain holds and choking them out.
i know it sounds a little on the crazy side but it was seriously SO AWESOME!
i LOVED every second!
(here is a picture of margo (left) and her teammate at the match.)
here they are warming up. 
here is the actual match.
they give each other a little hand slap to let the other know they are ready.
here is margo taking her down!
if you know anything about my husbands family...it's that they don't like to loose and they are all very competitive.
margo is not only competitive but very very feisty.
she did an amazing job and i was so proud of her.
margo and i after the match.
(i am one white nw girl compared to margo)
i do have to say that i have never seen so many muscles in one place before.
w-o-w
this is my sister-in-law stephanie giving into temptation.
(photo taken from the plane)
and just like that i was headed back home all in the same day.
now i know what is feels like to be a high rolla.
until next time vegas.

Looks like fun! My husband is VERY much into UFC, thus I am forced to watch it whenever it's on tv. I like that there are some women out there that can kick some booty!!!
wow! what doesn't margo do? you must have the most exciting family gatherings . .seriously!! fun for you to make a quick gettaway
I've never heard of that sport before, but she looks like she's good at it!

What an adventure! Back in the h.s. days when we were cheering at wrestling we would always yell "do the honeymooner" because we thought we were really funny. One time a kid got mad at us because it is a really tough move apparently, but I bet everyone else appreciated the side coaching. Maybe you should take me to the next grappling match. I could work up some awesome chants like "grapp! grapp! make her tap the mat!" That was just off the top of my head...more where that came from.
How fun! I live in Vegas, and I've never heard of this sport! Sounds like fun!
Love Vegas...miss living there so much!
That is very cool...never knew it existed!
Wow - how cool! She's one tough chick!
