Wonderful weekend

We enjoyed a lovely Memorial Day weekend here in Southern Nevada. The weather cooperated with temps staying below the 100-degree mark and plenty of sunshine. We used abundant sunscreen and all avoided sunburns though we spent many enjoyable hours outdoors. On Saturday, we took the kids first to our closest park and its refreshing spray park. Then we hit up our local pool/water park for a couple of hours on its opening day. Silly Nora in her swim skirt!

Here is Nora all dolled up on Sunday.
It takes a bit of effort, but Momma is finally able to attempt to style this little girl's hair!
After meeting, we headed directly out to Lake Las Vegas for our 24-hour "staycation." We rented a 1-bedroom "combo" (as Dane likes to say!), and they upgraded us to a lake view gratis. It certainly felt like being on vacation, although we were less than 20 minutes from home!

We spent lots of time swimming and exploring the resort. Dane was Sister's designated driver!

Just taking in the view.

A beautiful calm morning.

Our condo was in the building located in the center of this picture.

Still pushing the stroller!

Looking for crawfish.

Pool time!

We got back home shortly after noon Monday, and the kids took nice long naps while we unpacked. Then we decided to take our boat out on its maiden voyage (of 2009). Last summer, Dane mysteriously developed a phobia of our boat, but with some coaxing and his new fishing pole, we seem to have overcome it with yesterday's trip. Nora did well as long as she had food in her little hands! Thank goodness her hat was tied on!

We boated over near Hoover Dam to check out the progress of the amazing new bridge that's going up.

Little fisherman.

Still eating!

Back to work today- we all survived!
