Since we went for a quick trip to Las Vegas for Mario's Open House, we wanted to get a little more out of our trip, so we went to the Hoover Dam. The several times we have driven to Vegas I have seen the signs but we have never stopped. We finally checked it out. Luckily it was fairly early when we headed out, so we got there before the crowds. It was neat to see, but kids felt like it was trippy looking down. They kept spitting off the edge and watching it land. We walked across it and then we went up on a bridge to look at it from above. They had fun making jokes with the word dam. Like "Where are the dam bathrooms?". They rubbed the toes of the statue for good luck. As we were leaving a lot of people were showing up.
We were able to see Mamaquel and Grandpa Whetten in El Paso on our way home. Mom had been in Utah recovering from a toe amputation and was able to fly home that Sunday that we arrived in El Paso. We were happy we could see them and that Mamaquel looked good. We also saw Uncle Bert because they were in town with the birth of their baby the night before. The baby had to be in the NICU for a few days, so we didn't get to see the baby and Kara.
We stayed with Grandma Mindy on the way there and back. We made sure to measure the kids on GraMindy's garage wall. There might be some changes coming up and so it may be one of the last times to do that.
