A Weekend With Dano.

The kids were so excited that Uncle Dano came for a visit. We got 5 days with him. I don't know what we are going to do without him for 2 years. This is going to be a tough one. Friday we went out to Hoover Dam. It was so much fun. Temperature was perfect and not to many people. The picture just below was of us standing on the new bridge that is above the dam. I hate heights, so it took a lot for me to put my first step on the bridge.

Friday night we took Daniel to one of our favorite restaurants, Viva Marcados. Yummy!!! I have found that I love Mexican food. Saturday we got up and lounged for a good part of the day and then we headed to Red Rock Canyon. We went on a little hike and found a little snow. We got a little cold, but I think we had a good time.



Love this picture. It will be one of my favorites for always. Ben decided to try to kill us all and take us straight down a cliff. He wanted to get to the little stream below. Everyone did well I went down once and Ben went down with Fletcher on his back and holding McGregor. Thankfully they didn't get hurt.



After our hike we headed to St. George to stay the night. We went to Ben's cousin Kelsie's farewell. Monday night we took Daniel to the strip. He was amazed by everything. It was so much fun to have him. The kids couldn't get enough of him. I told my kid as they were crying as he left that we would see him in a week and that 2 years really wasn't that long. I will keep trying to convince myself of that. Daniel was only 6 when I married Ben and he has always been like a little brother to me. We have a close relationship and I am thankful for the example he has been to me and my kids. We are going to miss "our Dano".
