Johnson/Gaither visit

Two weeks ago Jeremy’s parents and sister’s family came to visit.  Grandpa and grandma were smart and stayed in a hotel while the Johnson’s stayed with us.  The boys had lots of fun and worked on sharing.  Ha.

First up is a montage of trying to get a cute shot of all the boys in their pj’s.  There’s about 15 more shots all like this.

One day we visited the Lied’s Discovery Children’s Museum. They had a cool Curious George exhibit. Caedman was the only one I could get a good picture of sitting with George.  This museum is really cool and has a lot of fun stuff for kids to do.

They had a really cool auto shop the boys played at for quite awhile.

The next day we went to the Hoover Dam!

Checking out the UGS survey markers.  I love it!  Father like son! Love the shadow affect too.

After walking across the dam we went to Lake Mead for a yummy picnic lunch and the ranger said we could feed the fish and ducks at the marina.  So of course we had to go buy two huge bags of popcorn!

So excited!

While we were at Lake Mead we walked a couple miles down the Historic Railroad Trail and went through three cool tunnels.  The path was used by the railroad to get supplies to the Hoover Dam during construction.

Valley of Fire.  We are actually going back here tomorrow we liked it so much.  The boys loved it because there were so many rocks to climb on.

We discovered Ty is quite the little climber.  He actually cried when we had to leave.

We had a great time and are so glad they were able to come visit!
