Labor Day

We finally did something fun on a holiday instead of doing yard work or house work. We went up to Mt. Charleston and had so much fun. The weather was so beautiful, 70 degrees! We had a way too expensive lunch at the lodge and then went on a little walk. (We will definitely bring our own lunch next time.)



Luke wanted to climb a mountain. They made it about a third of the way and then Luke was done. I think they had more fun walking back to the van and seeing some lizards running around.

This is just to show that I do sometimes have my picture taken with my children.

I've been wanting to go up there! We should plan a trip up together sometime...the kids would have fun. Is Luke liking preschool?

Bryn said...

What a cute family. I can't believe that our babies are so big already. We went camping up there a few weeks back. It was so nice.

Your kids are so darling! I guess I need to get in a picture sometime with my kids too! I'm always the one behind the camera. Someday they are going to look back at all the pictures and wonder if I actually existed :) Looks like you had a fun day.

I love the picture of you in there. Ashley is getting so big so fast.

Anything to get out of this heat! Why does the food have to be so expensive there- maybe because they have no competition. Subway travels well! Looks like a fun day, I'm sure Luke enjoyed those lizards!

The children are so darling! And their mom, too. When I lived in Vegas, I always wondered why we didn't go to Mt. Charleston more often to get out of the heat. I love the pine forests there.

Jess, you look so good! I can't believe you have THREE kids! I mean, I knew you had three, but seeing them all together is so fun -- what a good looking bunch!

Heather said...

Oh how fun! You guys are a darling family!

Me said...

You look great in the last picture! It's true, we moms aren't usually in the shot because we are behind the camera. It looked like a great time and nice to get out of the heat. I've never had lunch at the lodge, it's pretty pricey huh?

That looks like so much fun! And you can't beat 70 degrees!
