Visitors

Sarah and Melinda came to visit last week and we had a blast! We played outside, went to the children's museum, hiking at red rock, garage sale shopping, went to a football game, and went to see some fountains, flowers, and eat crepes.

Playing Outside




The Children's Museum- It has improved much since last summer. They have many fun exhibits including a grocery store, garage (we changed a car's tires!), airport screening room/ airplane, bank, NV Energy Solar Power, bodily functions (so fun with info. on snot, toots, vomit, burps and other enjoyable things), sports green screen, nutrition games, motion, electricity, hurricanes....so much and so fun! I think we'll get a year membership to have somewhere cool (literally) to go in the summer.

Airplane Exhibit

Passenger Andrew
Dress-up

Melinda in a category 1 hurricane (the wind thing says 66.7 mph but it got up to 78 mph)

Andrew's favorite exhibit- balls + air + 1 year old = great fun

Pulling her weight
Solar Energy - (sorry the picture is so bad- my flash didn't go off but Luke was so excited and recognized the logo)

Our favorite exhibit- Playing Sports on TV- we got to choose from Soccer, Hockey, Basketball, and Volleyball. We were best at soccer (which we are playing here) blocking things was our specialty. We had like 291 blocks as our best!! Volleyball and Basketball are not easy with 4 people on the screen.

Red Rock
Can you find Luke, Sarah and Kiley?

See them now? (Melinda couldn't even tell if she had them in her viewfinder for sure- what good climbers!)
At the top- these two 4 year olds climbed up some BIG rocks (with daddy/uncle help) and Andrew got to hang out in the Ergo carrier I won. Andrew wasn't a huge fan but everyone else had fun!! What a beautiful view.
BYU vs UNLV Football- 59-21 victory- go Cougs! We also sat by some of our MBA friends- so fun!!

At the table (children found here at least 3 times a day- why not snap a photo?)




We had so much fun and I'm glad they came.

*Next time we hope we come together healthy and leave each other healthy!

Okay, seriously, Andrew is a LITTLE BOY, not the baby I remember!! I can't believe it. What a fun time with your sister and her cute daughter.

That all looks awesome, especially that cute picture of you supporting Andrew's weight. I love that they have dress ups, too.
