This week has been fun and adventurous. We have helped out and attended 3 viewings/funerals for members of our ward. Then Ronda finished cleaning out her classroom and left the school for the summer, so we headed off to some fun travel spots.
First of all, we went to our favorite camping spot at Moon Lake in the Uintah Mountains for a little hike and to place 3 Geocaches for those of you that know what they are, to find while visiting over the 4th of July weekend. Duncan couldn't wait to get there and get out of the car. Once we arrived we got out and headed up the trail. Duncan had to stop and get a drink from the small runoff stream. Then we all continued up the trail taking turns taking pictures of the views and scenery. When we finally arrived back down at the beach after the hike, we let Duncan cool off by playing in the lake. He loved it! When we were ready to head for home we stopped to even get a shot of the famous fishing hole--Frog Ponds. Duncan was so tired by the time we got home that he curled up inside our pillow case on the couch and went to sleep. We have decided that that was his new sleeping bag. We enjoyed being able to go up and enjoy nature there again.
Next, we headed off to Las Vegas to go sight seeing for our anniversary. We love to go to Vegas and see the the Tournament of the Kings Dinner show. They do a horse show while you are eating dinner. It is a lot of fun! We also went to Lake Havasu to see the London Bridge and the Candle Shop that makes candles right in front of you. That was a lot of fun too! Tomorrow we plan on visiting the local sights and possibly the animal museum at the Mandalay Bay. We will also be attending one of Ronda's 4th graders' National Dance Competitions. Then on Friday we will head down the the Hoover Dam to see the new bridge/highway they have built and to visit the gift shops there. On Saturday we plan on coming home to rest and then in another week we will be off to adventure again in Cedar City and St. George.
We usually only do one trip a year, but this year seems to be quite different. We are having a blast though!
