Lake Mead

So we had a nice weekend vacation at Lake Mead, NV with some friends and family in late July. It was a lot of fun - maybe even more fun than Florida (it's hard to say). We spent almost two full days on the lake. It was great!!

This first picture is of some wild donkeys we saw on a little island in the middle of Lake Mead. I thought it was pretty funny! Kind of random!!



So it was really hot and sunny in Nevada (it got up to 116° both days!!!) and we just kept applying and reapplying sunscreen. WELL....This picture is of Ryan who was already wet, but reapplied sunscreen to his face and it just stayed white. It was really a funny sight!


(Ryan....our driver - well most of the time)


(Jeff, Aubrey, and Andrew tubing. They all loved it!)


(Jeff, Aubrey, and Andrew again)


(We found a cove to swim in for a while to cool off).


(Cassandra, Betty, Jacob, Maurina)


(Boosh and Lommers tubing!! - there's no fear in that kid!)


(Andrew playing in the sand on one of the beaches)


(We wore them out.....IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!)


(Betty - a foster child - and I and New York New York in Vegas)

(At the end of day 2 we decided to take a short 20 minute detour to Hoover Dam. I'd never seen it and neither had Betty. It was kind of cool).








That was our trip. It was a lot of fun and I think we are going to make it a tradition to take a weekend vacation with friends.
