We had our friends come over to BBQ and watch the USA World Cup Final and we had a lot of fun but unfortunately USA lost. It was pretty disappointing but they had a really good tournament and as usual are such good role models for little girls everywhere.
Saturday we drove out to Boulder City with some friends and started our day riding the Boulder City Train. It was a cute little ride, not going too fast, a perfect speed for Mommies with kids who want to look out over the edge. I am pretty sure Natalie enjoyed the ride the most out of my girls, she like the wind in her face and wanted me to stand so she can look over the rail. The older girls had fun hanging out and chatting with their friends. After the train we took the kids to A&W Root beer and got some lunch and of course root beer floats. After lunch we headed out to see good old Hoover Dam. I enjoyed seeing the new bridge and we got to walk out onto it. It provided a perfect view of the Dam and a good spot for more photo's. By this time all the kids were hot and tired so we knew they had enough. That is probably why when I asked the girls if they had a good day and they pretty much told me that looking at stuff is boring and they didn't even get to play. We had a good chat on the way home about being grateful for things we get to do and see. Hopefully they will look back in a couple of years and have good memories of the day.
Friday was "field trip Friday" and we went bowling with friends. This day I had no complaints from the kiddies, it was bowling and then lunch at Burger King and then they got to play in the play thing. They played really hard and had lots of fun!
This was a fun day with just me and my girls. We had to go pick up our car from the shop at Carmax so I was trying to think of fun things to do in Henderson. That's when I thought of Ethel M. We got to go in and see where they make the chocolate, taste the chocolate and then we finished it off with some ice cream. All the girls were on their best behavior and I always love days that I spend with my girls.
