I recently returned from a quick trip to Las Vegas to visit my brother, Ryan, at Nellis Air Force Base. My mom went too. We had a great time and saw an entirely different side of Vegas. Again, I wasn't the best at taking pictures but here are a few.
The kids stayed home with Matt on this trip. However, we would love to plan another trip this fall and bring them with us.
This is at the Hoover Dam - you can see how high the water was at one time.
Kayaking the Colorado River! This was my first time kayaking but we had a great time. I could have used some detailed instructions but made do.. it wasn't until the way back that I actually got the hang of it. This was my view most of the time.. Ryan way ahead of me and my mom wondering if we would ever catch up :)
Mom and Me Kayaking for the first time.. not sure if this is even out of the cover where we put in. The water was so clear you could see to the bottom even if it was 20-40 ft deep.
Taking a break...
Me and Mom at a sand bar (at least that's what we call them on the muddy Mississippi)
How beautiful is that?
Taking a break on the way back.. trying to get a tan. Lord knows we haven't seen the sun in St. Louis for weeks!
Ryan and my mom @ the strip (we spent a whole 3 hours on the strip)
Up in the mountains..
