Bowling and the Hoover Dam


Our next day in the Las Vegas area was pretty fun too. We decided to head on over the Henderson, NV to watch a new friend of ours bowl. Shannon O'Keefe is a bowling champ and made it to the last round of the masters bowl, where she placed bronze. It was refreshing watching bowling and not feeling like it was never going to end. After all when we bowl with small children it can take forever. Shannon did a great job and team USA did awsome at this tournament.


After that it was off to the Hoover Dam. As is always quite impressive to say the least! Ben was amazed at how big it is and kept asking me if the water level ever goes back up. I had to keep telling him I did not know. It had been years, and I mean years since I had been there last. Although I do think that the dam water was much higher.


We even got to see some of the local wild life. No, not drunks, and crazies but Big Horned Sheep. That was prett cool. They were just getting a little bit of refreshment from the lake.

Wow! Cool pix of the big horn sheep. You and Ben look pretty cool too with your shades on :).

It was good that you could get to the bowling tournament for your friend.

Love,
