The Dam Tour




We enjoyed a fun tour of the Hoover Dam on Saturday with Kathy (Shane's sister and fam), Scott, and Jaydon. It was really interesting, and the view was great! They are building a new freeway that goes OVER the dam, so there isn't so much traffic ON the actual dam. You can see the construction if you look closely. Anyway, it was quite interesting to learn how we are able to live comfortably in this desert environment. Thank Heaven's for so many people's sacrafices so that our little family could enjoy eletricity of every kind, and plenty of drinking water! We are so blessed.My cute hubby and son smiling on the Dam!

Shane, Scott, Kathy, and kids in a tunnel 50 stories underground next to the dam. Pretty neat.

I think you spelled Dam wrong? Ha, ha. I don't think I'd be okay being 50 stories underground. It looks like you had a good and educational time though.

I loved Brinly's Halloween outfit. Where did you find such a cute Piglet costume? Did Cade get to enjoy any of that candy? He worked hard for that!
