Family Fun

Paul's work schedule makes it possible that he has a couple of days off during the week if he works the weekend.  While taking two young children to Church on Sunday by myself is difficult, the days off later in the week really make it worth it.  We decided that a family outing was needed.  I had read a blog post on cheap outings in the Vegas area.  One that really struck my interest was the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail. 

 We decided to check it out.  We were not disappointed with this outing.  The trail is a 5 mile round trip and we were able to push the jogging stroller.  We did this on a Tuesday morning so we were pretty much the only ones on the trail. (We were also the only ones under the age of 60 in the visitors center.) I'm pretty sure this was a pretty awesome experience based on Dean's arm position. 

One of five tunnel's.  Dean was so cute walking through and exploring.

 The Historic Train Trail runs along the side of the hill and over looks Lake Mead.  It was beautiful.

 Baylee has a little obsession with necklaces. She won't take them off.  While walking through the tunnels she would stop every few steps and drag her necklace in the dirt then stand up and giggle.  I wonder what she is thinking.  She does some of the funniest things I have ever seen.

 The wood work around the tunnel openings is awesome.  I wasn't able to get a great picture of it.  But you can see the pillars behind Dean and I.

 We had such a great time walking and exploring with our kiddos.

 Paul is such a handsome man!  Baylee's cheesy smile just makes my day.

 We made a little friend along the way.  This was one huge lizard.

 By the end, we had worn our kiddos out. That makes for a great family outing.
