Lake Las Vegas

We had an awesome family vacation at Lake Las Vegas last week. It was so overdue! 

if you asked Jackson, he would say his favorite thing we did was ride a boat. Zoey would say the 

poo-wa (pool). For me, it was seeing the kids so excited over all the little things. I think we could have stayed longer. The kids didn't want to go home, and Zoey woke up this morning determined to wear her swimsuit (yes, even with snow on the ground). She settled for walking around the house with her floatie instead :)

So, a lot of pictures, and not a lot of writing. Just know that we are tanner than when we left! The weather was in the 80's and 90's and we LOVED every minute. It was nice to have a fun place to go that wasn't too far away, and the resort was really family friendly. All we needed was right there on site. We didn't have to go to the strip once. 

We took an excursion to see hoover dam and the new bridge. It was really impressive. 

 We did a lot of swimming. The kids didn't want to do much else! The resort had 2 pools, water slide, and a white-sand beach, sports court, minature golf, bike riding, boat rental, etc.. This was the view outside our room:

happy family = happy mom!

This was where the kids liked to start their day...the white sand beach. Zoey thought it was snow :)

It was a perfect place to get hot before jumping into the pool. The lake is swimmable, but it was still a little cold for the kids. I'm sure it would be perfect later in the year. The pool was just the right temperature for us. Even Eli took his first swim..it took him a bit to get use to it, but he did end up really liking it.  

A lot of swimming led to a lot of this:  

We wore them out! 

 We stopped in St. George for lunch on the temple grounds and for a break on way home and in between sessions. It was a great vacation. Can we do it again?!?! I can't wait for warm weather!
