Summer Adventures

This summer has been loads of fun.  We have had a lot of visitors and have got to go do a lot of fun things.  Here are some of the fun things we have done...

Bonnie Springs Ranch

One hot afternoon we headed over to Bonnie Springs Ranch.  It is just up the canyon from our house.  On our way we ran into these wild donkeys.  We pulled over and they came over to the car.  At first our windows were down and they tried poking there heads in the windows.  Braxton was freaking out.  Russ and I were laughing so hard. It was hillarious.  The ranch was pretty lame but the boys had fun. They had an old mining town, train and a petting zoo, but the animals all looked like they had diseases.  They did have a cool turtle pond with tons of turtles.

The Shark Reef

The boys loved the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay.  We saw a bunch of fish, octopus and pharrana's.  They had a place were you could touch a sting ray but the boys did not dare. At the end we got to walk through a cool shark tunnel and see all the fish swimming around us.

                                                                        The Lion King

My mom brought Monica, Lexi and Tyler down to visit.  We left the little ones home with Russ and took Braxton, Lexi and Logan to go see the The Lion King.  They liked it for the first half but then it got a little long and they were ready to go.

One of our favorite places to eat when people come to visit is The Rain Forest Cafe at MGM.  The first time we went with my parents and Cooper was so scared of the animals.  Whenever they would start moving and making noice he would run over and sit on my dads lap.  We went back with Russ's parents and he did a little better but still was a little timid.

Tournament of Kings

One weekend we had lots of visitors.  Monica and my mom were here and so were the Leo's.  We took everyone to go see The Tournament of Kings.  They boys absolutly loved this.  Cooper went around for weeks repeating some of the phrases they were saying.

Last of all, we have seen a ton of movie and have gone swimming almost everyday......
