Mount Charleston Hiking

Well Vegas is getting hot, hot, HOT!! So this past Sunday we escaped to Mt. Charleston to have some fun. We met our friends there and played the whole afternoon. Maegan, Morgan, Autumn, and Cody had fun playing in the stream. Of course they all had to get wet. Even Dawn and I walked in the stream for a bit. It was freezing and I thought my toes might fall off. Amazing that none of the kids seemed to mind at all!!! It was so nice to be outside without the miserable heat. Barry, Dawn's husband, and I have talked our families into going camping. Today I overheard the girls planning the trip afterschool. They even turned my classroom into a pretend campground. I'm excited I haven't been camping in years and I think Morgan is going to love it. I am concerned about losing her in the woods. My mom has suggested that I put a padlock on the tent door. Soooo, I guess now we will be gathering the camping supplies. I sure hope Mark hasn't forgotten all that military training.

Fourth of July

We went to a BBQ at our friend's house. The girls had a great time swimming in the pool and thankfully they were both well enough to have some fun. Morgan is a regular water bug. She LUVS to swim. No fear as she jumped into the deep end and even tried to swim underwater. Maegan is more cautious. She did practice holding her nose and putting her head underwater. She may need a few swim lessons in the future. After many hours of swimming Shannon helped the kids make smores as they watched fireworks. We had a great time-thanks for having us over Tom and Shannon!
