Vegas has everything. We're famous for castles, volcanoes, Eiffel Tower, and all the downtown glitz (and sleaze). But there is so much more here that supports a culture for families.
On Tuesday we picked our own produce in the morning and then headed to the mountains for a picnic lunch. We were back home by late afternoon for naps. My parents live in the northwest part of Vegas and they have so many interesting things out there. We have done the Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary, Floyd Lamb State Park (pony rides, peacocks, and a pond), and of course Mt. Charleston. This orchard we visited was in the northwest as well. I recommend all of them!
Where are you zucchini?
I'll be making lots of zucchini bread with that green machine. For some reason it cracks me up to see Violet down there in the dirt. She's still so little.
They have a variety of apples.
Mt. Charleston was an escape from the heat and city. We did some great exploring and "hiking."
Thanks mom for helping with this fun day. We didn't go ANYWHERE this summer so this was the kid's summer trip. In August, my mom finished teaching her last year of 1st grade. Yea!
