Spring Break...

I love, love, loved Spring Break this year. We stayed close to home and just enjoyed all there is to do in Vegas at this time of year. We spent a couple of the days just playing with friends at our house. The kids are good to run around and play out back, inside, or on their bikes and machines in the front yard. We visited our favorite parks and even had a picnic for dinner with dad one night. Blake and I enjoyed a few afternoons playing tennis while Ethan was at a friends house. Keaton is so good to play with balls and run around the court while we hit back-and-forth.

We enjoyed the Springs Preserve with friends and a few cousins.





And one day we visited Bonnie Springs. This is a small little community (if you call it that?!) about 15 minutes from home. It has an old western town, all inclusive with a jail, shooting saloon, shops, petting zoo, and plays. The kids watched one of the melodramas and ran around. I had to include the picture of Ethan shooting a gun even though it is blurry. There's a sign in the saloon that says "No Flash Cameras". I thought that was weird and didn't follow directions because it didn't make sense to me. When I took the picture it set off all the electronics in the room- apparently the guns put out a laser/light that would set off the targets and then they'd react. Uh, so does the flash on the camera. There were things flying everywhere. It scared the kids and everyone else in there. Ooops. I guess it was a good thing though because the kids didn't want to spend any more quarters in there! We finished off the trip to Bonnie with a picnic at a park- the same park that the kids did their triathlon at last summer.











One night we went out to a really cool new mall that has a park in the middle of it and a big piece of grass to picnic on. We took sandwiches and ate dinner and played there and then when it was time we went to Horton Hears A Who. It's so fun to do those sorts of things with the whole family. I'm excited for summer time!
