September Catch-up

Wow, I just cannot even believe that it is already December.  A lot of things have been going on these past few months, both good and frustrating.  With the way things are looking - it probably won't calm down for a while.  But hopefully I can get a little caught up on here before the year ends!  So here are some pictures that I took near the end of September.

The kids had really been wanting to go up to Red Rock so we finally found a good time to try and go.  We planned to just walk around the boardwalk, but unfortunately most of it was closed off because the old wood is deteriorating and replacing it is expensive and apparently not a priority right now.  But we did walk around the area that was still open.

Stopping to read the signs along the boardwalk asking that you stay on the path and not wander around.

I realized most of the pictures I took are of the kids backs :)  I think Ian had spotted a bee buzzing around a flower.

Las Vegas actually means "the meadows" in Spanish

We saw several bunnies while we were there.  It was funny because an older couple there kept stopping to look at them quietly and would point them out to Ann and Ian.  The kids did a good job of not scaring the bunnies, but it was funny because they didn't care that much to just sit and watch them, much to the surprise of the couple - we had to explain that we have lots of bunnies in our backyard and so they aren't much of a novelty seeing them here.

About a week later we played in the sprinkler in the backyard (it was probably nearly 90 degrees out at this point).  Ann and Ian decided it would be fun to fill up their watering cans with the sprinkler water

I tried to take a picture of Ian and Ann stuck her face in front of him...
