Boating in March?

Our good friends, The Hardings, invited us to Lake Mead with them last weekend. Thursday night we enjoyed fine dining and entertainment in Las Vegas. We saw the show, Cirque Du Soleil "O". It was amazing!

Friday morning we headed to the Lake. It was a beautiful day at the lake. You would never know that it was March, unless you decided to actually get in the water. It was still pretty cold. The cold water plus my wrist still healing kept me in the boat. However, everyone else took advantage of the wonderful water. There was waterskiing,

Wakeboarding, 

and they even tried out Randy's new surf board. 

Here Wyatt is surfing, with the rope.

Now, he's surfing without the rope.

And now he's down.

 It didn't last long, but I'm sure he will get better this summer, since I bet this is going to be his next purchase. What is it with men?

Friday night we went back to Vegas to try out the roller coaster at New York, New York, and to enjoy dessert. 

Saturday, it was back to the lake. We started the day by checking out the Hoover Dam. We had to take this picture of a bridge they are building. We were quite impressed.

Here is Wyatt and me at Hoover Dam.

The Dam Overlook.

Another Dam picture.

 This one is from the boat. You can see how choppy the water is. It was a windy day, so we left the lake a little early, and headed to St. George to do a little shopping, and then to Lehi to pick up the kids from grandma's.

It was a great vacation! Thanks Hardings for inviting us, and thanks grandma and grandpa for watching the kids.

Baby Cows

Last week we were talking to our friends, the LeFevre's, and they mentioned that they had some baby cows and we should bring the kids over to see them. Brynli heard this and was so excited. We went home and she picked out the outfit that she was going to wear to go see the baby cows.  (It's all about the outfit). Sadie was very excited too. She kept talking about the little baby cow and how she was going to hold it in her hand. After I explained that the baby cow would be bigger than she was, she decided that it was going to lick her hand. Both the girls were so excited and insisted that they go see the cows the next day. I had card swap, so I sent Wyatt with the kids to the LeFevre's to see the baby cows. They all had a great time and loved the baby cows. One was small enough that it even let them pet it.

The boys loved the tractor ride. Especially when it was their turn to drive.

And to top off the night, the kids played in the hay. 

All the kids had a great time. Thanks LeFevre's!
