July 2010-Mt.Charleston

One of our favorite things we have found to do since moving to Vegas is taking a day trip up to Mt. Charleston. It's about 20 degrees cooler at the top of the mountain and it's just beautiful in the summer. We had Jacob and Susie and Elsa and Robin visiting us on Fourth of July weekend so we took a trip up on Saturday to get out of the heat and have a picnic. The kids had so much fun playing in the stream, hiding out in forts, playing with lady bugs, and discovering fairy dwellings.
