      @@nancyfarkas3592 I completely see your point. A lot of people aren't trained like you or I though as to what to do in this type of situation. Also I think they explained it best they could but I couldn't tell how far away the girls were. If they were close enough it would be a judgment call for me. However I take mine and my family's safety into my own hands and it seems like they rely solely on police protection if you know what I mean so thats something to take into consideration. Ultimately God's in control and we do the best we can.

I said that’s your choice if you wouldn’t risk your life and I feel sorry for your children that you wouldn’t - but I would and I certainly understand any parent who would. Being shot doesn’t automatically mean you end up dead - maybe learn some basic facts before you make assumptions. If you have ever had your child in a dangerous situation you would know exactly how quickly things can change and they at suddenly be back in danger (these are children after all they don’t always comprehend the full extent of danger so they may think they are safe but ready are not) and how you never feel they are actually safe and ok until you have laid eyes upon them not do they feel safe until their safe person/ people are with them.

      Later on, police discovered that the call was a false alarm. There was reportedly a fight at the property and someone yelled “gun” during the fight. No witnesses actually saw a gun.”

    My daughter lives in Las Vegas. When I talked to her about this she said that the Adventure Dome is a fun place to visit with kids, but she would never ever recommend staying at that hotel. The hallways are not safe. Evidently the hotel clientele can be questionable and completely separate from the Adventure Dome. She said that Encore at Wynn is so much safer and you can walk to the Adventure Dome. I’m glad you all are ok. I have done vacations with kids in Las Vegas and made it family friendly.

    Oh wow that is absolutely terrifying! With everything that had happened in the world over the past several years I cannot even imagine what was going through all of your minds! I'm so happy that everyone ended up safe and okay. Aaron you are truly an amazing father and husband, to not even think about yourself, to just go find your kids no matter what! Possibly putting yourself in danger if it meant saving your kids! I'm glad that you were safe in the end as well, but what a role model you are. That was just another example of what it truly means to be a parent and partner.
    On another note.... so sweet brought tears to my eye seeing Savanah and Lucas reunited with their bio brother. Such raw and real emotions. I am so happy that was able to happen, eventhough it was cut a little short, its amazing and memorable for sure! Such great parents to be able to give Lucas that gift.
    Also, idk if I could do the fish pedicure! I've always wanted to try when I've seen it, but haven't had the courage yet!
    Okay, love your family so inspiring and fun to watch! Look forward to whatever your next adventure is 💜❤💛

    Oh my goodness I am so very sorry, I am born and raised in Henderson, Nevada which is just outside of Vegas, and unfortunately I know that feeling you all felt way to much. I was at the country concert on Oct 1 when 58 people were killed, I have never been so scared in my entire life, literally having to jump over deceased people, the most traumatic night of my life by far. I am so thankful you all are safe and left the Circus Circus. Sadly enough, there is shootings on the strip wayyyyy to often. I have not been back on the strip since Oct 1 just simply out of the terrible memories and horrific things that I will never ever forget. I also believe angels were guarding us that night and my heart and prayers go out to all of you guys, and I truly hope that Lucas still had a great birthday minus that scary situation. The world is a crazy place, but if he stick close to our Heavenly Father, He will call us home when He sees fit. As Crystal said, life is short and forgive and love everyone no matter what. We all make mistakes, people deserve second chances. And I don’t mean you have to have a place at your dinner table for such people, but it is a feeling of relief for yourself when you let go and forgive. It also doesn’t mean you have to forget, but I truly believe the people that participate in these shootings are so unhappy with themselves that they want others to suffer and that is the complete opposite of what God wants. Lift one another up, don’t tear one another down. Like my parents always told me, if you don’t have anything nice to say then say nothing at all. Sorry so long, just want you all to know you are not alone and I sympathize with y’all for having to experience something so awful. Hugs and prayers and so glad to hear that everyone is safe snd at home. Love from Nevada.

    I can't begin to imagine what it must be like to live in a country where shootings are a daily occurrence. It didn't occur to me that it was a shooting when I saw the title, as it is not something we deal with in Australia. We had a shooting many years ago , in a public place, but action was taken by our govt. and there hasn't been anything like it since. Shootings, when they do occur, are most likely to be domestic. I'm really sorry you found yourselves in this situation,and so glad everyone is safe.
