Spring Break

For Darwin's Spring Break we went to Southern Nevada and stayed with Darwin's aunt, uncle, and cousins. It was fun. Darwin didn't have to take any work off, he just took his work with him. Darwin and I went to Mandalay Bay and saw the Lion King. I loved it. Darwin was somewhat impressed. (Maybe I should have gone by myself.) I would love to see it again.

Jensyn and Hurley and I went to a chocolate factory that smelled so yummy. Jensyn wanted to buy something at the store but I just couldn't pay $2 for a small piece of chocolate. Instead we went to the M&M Store and spent money on cups (I probably should have just got the chocolate....)

After the chocolate factory we walked through a cactus garden. I was very impressed. It was so pretty. The weather was perfect and the kids were happy to be outside.

Jensyn and Hurley on the "tour". Nothing was happening at the factory so we just looked at the machines-lame. Hurley at the park.

Jensyn at the park.

We went and saw the new bridge at the Hoover Dam. It is incredible. I didn't know that Darwin was afraid of heights. He had butterflies the entire time we were on the bridge. Hurley slept the entire time, so he missed the fun.

Jensyn on the border of Nevada and Arizona. She loved the bridge. She liked that she could run outside.

We went to the Adventuredome at Circus Circus. Jensyn and Hurley LOVED it. Darwin and I were happy to take them. I think we are on a bus ride in this picture but I am not sure.

Hurley loved the Helicopter/Airplane ride. He was a wonderful pilot.

Jensyn did too.

This ride was very cute. The kids would ride up and then drop. Jensyn and Hurley LOVED it. I dare say it was their favorite. Jensyn would help Hurley get on the ride and then they would put their arms above their head while the bar lowered and then smile during the whole ride. When it was over they would hop off and run to get back in line for it.

Darwin refers to this ride as "The Whiplash Train." The kids kind of liked it.

We had a fun vacation. It was good to get away. We love staying with Darwin's aunt and uncle.
