The kids and Beth spent 7 days with J and M in Las Vegas, Tuck has a different spring break so he had to stay home. Since Sox is still so new to us it worked out well.
Lots of fun adventures, the week really flew. Sunday was the Leid Discovery Center with the Curious George exhibit. Mass in the evening. On Monday Caleb, Max and Beth perished the local huge nursery and bought some flowers while Judy and A and K baked cookies. We all went to a friends house, Mr. Mike, and looked at his enormous model train set and took him to ice cream for a thank you. Then we got to see J and M's new townhouse and swim in their pool. Tuesday we spent a long time at a great park called Springs Preserve. Science museum with a live raptor show and a Natural History Museum, fantastic playground with fake mammoth bones to climb on and much more. On the way home we took the kids to an indoor, glow on the dark mini golf, amazing! Thursday and Friday we hiked and camped at Valley of Fire State Park. Camping went well, two tents (Adam and Max in one the rest in another) s'mores and no major injuries! On the way home Friday we toured the Hoover Dam. Saturday morning was a quick trip to Red Rock Canyon, more scrambling on boulders.
The kids' favorites were, of course, mini golf and children's museum! Adam spent much of his down time reading satirical fact books about Great Britain! Katie loves getting into Grandma's treasures. Caleb was lots of motion, flying his new helicopter all over with realistic sound effects.
