This year we took the kids to Las Vegas for a few days before school started. We had so much fun together. Rob doesn't get a lot of time off so it was nice to be together as a family. We stayed at Southpoint which is so nice because it is so far off the strip that we don't have to be around the yuckiness of the strip. It has a bowling alley and a full sized movie theater inside along with a great pool, so we had a great time. On the way to Vegas we hit a major traffic jam due to construction and it took us over two hours to go about 20 miles. Keep in mind we were in the middle of the desert in August.
SO this was what our temperature gage read. Sitting on hot pavement in a black car for two hours. Super fun!!
At least we had beautiful scenery to look at....NOT!!!
Well we finally made it and the next day we went out to the Hoover Dam. We had never been there before and it was so interesting. We did the little tour where they show you how they convert the water to electricity.
This is the new bridge they are building to cut down on traffic going over the dam. It was amazing to see all the construction that high up.
This is a funny sign we saw at the dam
One day we were there it rained all day so went to the huge outdoor store that was there. The kids had fun looking at everything.
We had fun bowling, I actually broke 100 this time.
Bekah, Tanner, and I went to see Band Slam one night. We were the only ones in the theater, they thought that was pretty cool.

what a fun trip!!! i want to go there!
fun...not so much the 130 degree weather in traffic, but the part where you get to be with your family on vacation!! :)
That brings back memories of our time stuck in a 1 hour traffic jam on the way back from Utah. Fun times. I'm glad you guys had fun at SouthPoint. We did too. Good job Jim and Shirlynn for finding that place. We should all go together next summer
