Sam helping Papa with his work. She isn't allowed to touch the buttons now... but I can imagine she will be a great tech help to Papa very soon!

August 30, 2009
A beautiful hike up at Mt. Charleston. The temperature was about 30 degrees cooler than the valley, so it was a great escape. We had a mini picnic lunch up at the top.

August 30, 2009
Although the hike was a little dustier than in Oregon, all five of us enjoyed the fresh air, the pine trees and the exercise. We will definitely visit Mt. Charleston again!!!

We went out to Lake Mead to enjoy a day on the boat. The water was about as rough as the ocean, but we had a good time anyway. Samantha really enjoyed riding in the boat and swimming in the lake.

Samantha managed to get her sea legs while we were on the boat. It was actually funny to see her walking after we got home... she was stumbling all over the place. I think she was still feeling the rocking of the boat even after we got home.
