Cedar City, Utah

As most of you know we upgraded our camper to a motorhome.  It's something we have been thinking about and Art has been researching for about four months.  Our first trip was to Cedar City, which is about three hours away.  We went for one night just to make sure everything was in working order.  Driving there and back was so nice, especially for Captain Art.  We didn't see Maxwell and Annabel for the first two hours.  They enjoyed hanging out in their bunk beds and watching DVD's on their personal TV's.
Maxwell wanted to ride his bike the whole time!

Happy 4th of July

What a great Independence Day!  It was not a typical hot, dry July day.  It was very cloudy and rained (really sprinkled) for about 4 hours while we swam in the pool.  The kids played and swam all day long!  After grilling out, we had fun letting off our fireworks while we watched the fireworks across the valley.

Landscape Award

Every year the Southern Nevada Water Authority holds a landscape contest for residents of Clark County.  So this year I decided to enter our yard in the contest...and we won 2nd place!  The awards ceremony was held on the week we were in San Diego so we were not able to attend the breakfast.  The company who installed our landscape 4 years ago was there and they accepted our award for us and dropped it off last week.  I knew we won a place, but I just didn't know what place.  I'm glad we didn't cut our vacation short for 2nd place.  Regardless, we are excited to get this award and our property will be featured in the 2013 calendar for Clark County residents who pay a water bill.
