Our best investment here in Las Vegas has been a pass to the Springs Preserve. The boys wanted to make sure we went a few times at least this summer. The changing exhibit right now is all about dinosaurs.
They had these fun dinosaur tails for the kids to wear. Henry loved it.
He even did a little dance for us. He cracks me up!
Alex and Henry had fun doing the dino crayon rubbings.
And who doesn't want to excavate dino bones? Too fun.
There were dinosaur "video games" all over the place too and the boys were hooked! In fact, the second time we went that's really all the wanted to do!
Of course, we went to the nature exchange, watched the animal show, had a snack in the garden, and went to the flash flood. We love visiting the Springs Preserve!!
Man, it's rough being in this neighborhood. Two dogs! I hope it's better in North Carolina!

Somehow everyone that comes out of mom's tummy, that's a boy, somehow loves Dad! 1-19-12
According to James...
James has enjoyed making his own lunch (of food he wants to eat) so much that he told me, "It would actually be a punishment for you to make my lunch!" 8-26-15
(expaining to a friend after hearing me tell Henry that I wanted to eat him up) Do you know what "I want to eat you up!" means? It means I love you SO much. 5-3-12
Look! A zookeeper! (This was at church, pointing to a boy in a boyscout uniform) 4-8-12
According to Alex...
"When you look at Lydia you can't take your eyes off her because she's so beautiful... Mom, you are pretty too." 6-24-2015
mom: Alex, how did you get so funny?" Alex: "I'm not funny." mom: "you're pretty funny." Alex: "no, I'm not funny. I'm hilarious." 1-22-15

The Life of Henry
Henry has started writing "Jeff" on all of his school papers. His teacher will even call him Jeff at school. He is so silly! 1-30-17
(after eating a peach from off our tree) The crust tastes like fur! 7-17-16 (apparently I've always peeled the skin off in the past!)
I gave Henry a piece of watermelon to taste and asked him how it was. He replied, "C'est Magnifique! That means it's great!" 5-23-16
Lovely Lydia
Henry was making a mess while brushing teeth one night. Lydia was standing there and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh! You're making a mess!"
Rich was finishing dinner one night before I got home from choir. Lydia saw him open the crockpot and told him, "You're going to be in trouble! You're going to cry." (October 2017)
"Party? Treat? Soon!" January 2017 (2 years old)
Starting to stand on her own. (14 1/2 months) January 2016
You are lucky to have such a fun place close by. I enjoyed going there with the boys when Lydia was born.
