Our good friends, The Hardings, invited us to Lake Mead with them last weekend. Thursday night we enjoyed fine dining and entertainment in Las Vegas. We saw the show, Cirque Du Soleil "O". It was amazing!
Friday morning we headed to the Lake. It was a beautiful day at the lake. You would never know that it was March, unless you decided to actually get in the water. It was still pretty cold. The cold water plus my wrist still healing kept me in the boat. However, everyone else took advantage of the wonderful water. There was waterskiing,
Wakeboarding,
and they even tried out Randy's new surf board.
Here Wyatt is surfing, with the rope.
Now, he's surfing without the rope.
And now he's down.
It didn't last long, but I'm sure he will get better this summer, since I bet this is going to be his next purchase. What is it with men?
Friday night we went back to Vegas to try out the roller coaster at New York, New York, and to enjoy dessert.
Saturday, it was back to the lake. We started the day by checking out the Hoover Dam. We had to take this picture of a bridge they are building. We were quite impressed.
Here is Wyatt and me at Hoover Dam.
The Dam Overlook.
Another Dam picture.
This one is from the boat. You can see how choppy the water is. It was a windy day, so we left the lake a little early, and headed to St. George to do a little shopping, and then to Lehi to pick up the kids from grandma's.
It was a great vacation! Thanks Hardings for inviting us, and thanks grandma and grandpa for watching the kids.

Sounds like fun. I bet the water was cold. We will definately have to work in some sister time when you come out next. Mel's girls are fun to watch. I think I am finally figuring out the rules. So when Mom and Dad were tending the kids and Mom was at work I stopped by. Sadie was upstairs all by herself and Dad was totally taking a nap. The kids must have really worn him out because it was only 10:30. It made me laugh, Dad was watching them really well.
My favorite line in the whole post is "Another Dam picture". That gave me a nice chuckle this morning. Man I am so mature, I'm not sure how Mel puts up with it.
That looks like soooo much fun. I truly can't wait for summer and days on the lake. I'm glad you and Wyatt had a fun get away together.
Looked like a fun time. A trip with your husband was better than the expo any old time.
Brave people to waterski in March in cold water!! Looks like you had fun. It is always nice to be able to get away without kids!
Looks like fun. I have always wanted to see "O". I will have to go. I am glad you guys had fun in my neck of the woods.
The Hardings sure do know how to have a good time. Glad you enoyed yourself.
