Christmas Cookies and Hoover Dam today!

Thursday, December 9, 2010

This morning Mom got up and started baking Christmas Cookies!  She made Snowballs and Chocolate Chip Oatmeal - the Snowballs are the BEST!  Dad said she really didn't have to go to all the trouble, but when the first batch came out of the oven, he was there to do a taste test!  Mom said we had to keep some traditions - like giving cookies to my brothers Terry and Don.  They are supposed to be here tomorrow night.

After the cookies were done, we went to Red Rock Canyon and met Uncle Andy for lunch.  I got the leftovers - Uncle Andy had Bar-B-Que chicken pizza - it was pretty good.  I don't know what Mom and Dad had because they didn't bring me anything!

After lunch, we headed out to the Hoover Dam.  They built this REALLY BIG bridge over the canyon.  It's similar to the one they are building at home in Washoe Valley.  Mom said the water was WAY down.  Mom got some pictures of some desert big horned sheep - she called them ewes (that means they are girls).  We got to watch the sunset and that was really nice.  Mom and Dad also checked out some campgrounds - some of those were really nice too.


Too much bridge for the camera lens!!

Water level is really DOWN.

Sunset at one of the camp grounds!  Nice view.
