Summer Fun

At the beginning of the summer we ventured to the Mormon Fort, which is right downtown in Las Vegas. Not exactly the best part of town to be out and about alone with your 4 kids. But we went and had a great time. I told myself that I am going to do things this summer that we have not done the last 7 1/2 years we have lived here. We tend to stay in our little area and only venture out when company comes and makes us. So this was the beginning of our summer adventures. Despite the fact that it was in the 100's and most of it was outside the kids had a good time.

The kids humoring me for a picture! Aren't they adorable?

Scotty loved this old plow. I think he was meant to live in the old days where he could roam outside all the time and find lots of adventurous things.

Haley and Madeline of course loved looking at all the beautiful flowers.

They have a small museum that told the history of the Mormon fort. It was fun to learn about how they settled Las Vegas. The kids loved this soldier. They were trying hard to be stern and professional like him.

These two are just too cute for words!

Haley and Scotty decided to take a break in the soldiers quarters and play a hot and sweaty game of checkers. It was seriously hot and stuffy in the tiny quarters. I am not sure how they survived the summer with no air conditioning!
