April 6, 2018

2018 Spring Break - Las Vegas style.

Cowboy corral with my parents and with live music in a way only Elsinore could provide live music.

Yant Flat was a great hike.  Long drive on a dirt road but the views and walking down and seeing the colors on the sandstone was cool.

Gma O is awesome.

Wish I could have watched the NCAA basketball championship.  That happens.

Sometimes you drive south of Vegas to see colorful rocks and take some photos.  Lots of other people do the same thing.

Watched Jumanji at the condo.  I laughed.  Murphys laughed harder. 

Red Rock Recreation Area was cool.  Calico Tanks hike was a great choice.  Great colors and climbing some boulders and the kids climbing all over.

It was so nice to have a warm picnic - it's been awhile. 

Lost Creek hike was short and sweet with enough of a waterfall to cool us down.

Next time I would try hiking Ice Box Canyon.

Ice cream at the condo on a vacation is always a good idea. 

If you think you should go see the downtown Vegas sites while in Vegas, don't do it.  You really don't want to.  The licorice Statue of Liberty at the Hershey Factory was the only cool thing. Although Sadie thanked me quite a few times for taking her to see the sites.  And now we can tease Patty about the Venetian. 

Pool at the condo is cold but the kids still swim in it a bit.  I like putting my feet in and soaking up the sun. 

Birds in the palm trees are cool.

Sadie saw a saguaro cactus and it made her vacation.

Baseball in Las Vegas has a different feel than baseball we just saw in Utah County.  Especially on beer night. 

But it was good to catch some innings on a beautiful warm spring night.  And the Bat Dog was way cool.

We drove the scenic route from Vegas to Valley of Fire.  The "bloomin' cactus" were pretty and made us miss Mason a little more. 

Valley of Fire is a good stop.  White Domes trail was great and even had a little slot.  If only it would have been a little longer.  We probably should have played there more.  The hike was warm.  85 can feel really hot.

Shaded picnic tables are the best.

Signs that say not to climb on rocks are not the best.  (Who can close nature?  :))

Finished up the road trip with dinner and shakes at Hermies in Cedar City.  Mmm.
