Snow Days

It does snow in the desert.  In fact the mountains get a ton of it. We do have snow skiing as well about 45mins out of town or 30mins from our driveway.  It's nothing spectacular but it takes care of the skiing itch.  At least once a year we will get snow in the city.  Being that we live right up against the mountains we get a little bit more than most of Las Vegas.  Seeing Kady's face light up to a backyard of snow was absolutely priceless.  PJ's and all we ran right out there.

Sledding at Mt. Charleston with MacKenzie and Kaitlynn

















a few days later we woke up to this in our backyard....

Off to Red Rock
It was so pretty we decided to take a little drive out to Red Rock Canyon.  There are few things more gorgeous than a fresh, light blanket of snow covering the red rocks.  We didn't drive all the way in so I didn't get the photos I would have liked.   Besides it was SO foggy it wouldn't have shown up on film anyway.

Las Vegas got SO MUCH rain and snow this week that the water level of Lake Mead rose one and a half feet....insane.  I kid you not our pool was an inch away from overflowing as well.  It was nuts.
