We had a great morning in Vegas with Jim, Clo and family. We took a trip over to a park they refer to as Dinosaur Park. It is a nature discovery park or something like that. Complete with a pond, ducks, geese, pigeons, turtles and other birds. There is a great playground with some serious slides and a large sandbox that I assume is filled with dinosaur fossils. Anyhow, the kids had a great time.
Jack nearly lost his shoe when he was running by the pond when we first got there. He suddenly tripped, his shoe flew off his food and right to the the pond. He also had a couple of knobby headed geese that he played around with some. That was funny.
We ran up to the Temple so the kids could take a peak. Andy was knocked out so Natty and Jack and I took a look. I snapped a couple of pics and will post them. It is a great place to be.
A quick trip to a bathroom was needed for Jack and so we ran down to a store on Lake Mead and Hollywood. It was here that I made a terrible decision. I decided that it would be great to go the back route and show the kids Lake Mead. We would come out at Overton/Logandale and continue on from there. Well, that road is not a lot of fun and it adds a ton of time to the trip. Natty was car sick and, not sure how the boys were. It took for ever. Any way, the scenic route made us sick and we were quite happy to get back on to the I15. It had been nearly 14 years since the last time I had been on that road and clearly I did not remember it very well.
It was good to get home to Cedar. We will be heading down again in a month and will spend a couple of days this time. The kids are excited about that trip already. Definitely no scenic routes on that trip.
