VEGAS OR BUST...from Matt's gang

Heather has her hands pretty busy with twins...so we said we would post these pictures of their vacation.









Colorado Monument at the Top & Christa on her Throne













On the way over to Vegas we stopped several times and made little adventures out of our stops. Heather researched all the possible things we could do from Colorado on into Nevada. So if we needed a stop, we didn't stop at a rest area, we stopped for an adventure. They enjoyed Uncle Dave's tent while camping along the way. The first night Christa said they slept on rocks, but the second night was grass and also had a swimming pool and waterslides. Jenna's favorite part of the trip was hiking...she loves to hike.



Rachel is little miss Coolie & Jordyn_Greengo













For example, we stopped for a hike called hanging lake. Before and After

















Or we stopped at a peach farm and took a personal tour of how they grow, pick and package their peaches. And there was a Science Museum with beehives, frogs, electricity, lots of neat stuff. Nate really liked the waterfalls with clear water that you could see all the way down to the bottom & the fish.













Jordyn got tired of hiking













Hola Chicas and our SUGARhead. Hey, Heather tells us that there is wheat in liquorish












We stopped at a science museum, Cove Fort, and the Colorado Monument.
Cove Fort Play was one of the highlights for the kids.

Giddy Up...just like our Pioneers
St. George Temple Artist
Vegas was hot. And most of the time we were hiding out wherever there was water. Great fun and lots of memories.
Nate's favorite place was when he and I went to the Hoover Dam. We didn't just go to it, we went in it. We paid for a tour that took us deep within the dam, power plants and tunnels. One of the tunnels led us through an air shaft in the middle of the dam. We could look down through grates and see outside. We were pretty high.

I think we all had a good time. But was good to come home. The children have been spending time at their Library too. Nate recommends "A-Z Mystery's" and "Encyclopedia Brown".
