Spring Break

We are currently in the Las Vegas Airport getting ready to come home from our Spring Break Trip. We had a very good time! We started out in Las Vegas, went to Phoenix for a day (and took in a Phoenix Suns game), drove to the Grand Canyon and then went back to Vegas. We took a hike down the Grand Canyon (2000 ft down) and then back up. It was a total of a 6 mile hike. It was beautiful but we found that the hike up is a lot worse than the hike down. Somehow though we made it down in 2 hours and up in 1:40. Noah was leading us up...maybe that's why we went faster? He was anxious to get back to the pool! We also went to Hoover Dam on the way to Phoenix. We had a good time on the "dam" tour. In Las Vegas the boys had a lot of fun at the ESPN Zone in New York New York and we visited a lot of the hotels, spending a few afternoons soaking in the sun. We heard though that the weather in Des Moines was just as nice as it was here! We got a lot of rain while we were in Phoenix (and I thought it never rained there!). We'll get some pictures out once we get home. Joe is doing good this week but may be tired since they've had Luca all week!
