Shuffle Step...

This last week Audrey finished her ballet and tap class with Ms. Gayle. For her last class parents were invited to watch. Audrey was really good at remembering all the positions and steps. And even though she wasn't the most coordinated girl there, I have to say she was the cutest and had the most spring to her step. She wants me to sign her up for another class. But she made it clear that after one more class with Ms. Gayle she is ready for a class "on stage"! Are we ready for recitals?

Mt. Charleston

This weekend we finally made it to Mt. Charleston for a hike. It was so pretty and surprisingly green! We walked a short trail called "Robbers Roost". It has these really cool caves where, legend has it, thieves would hide with their stolen goods taken from pioneers on their move West. It really would be the perfect place to hide, but it made me a little anxious seeing my little girls crawling into these dark holes. I just knew some creature would jump out and eat them up! We're so happy to be discovering all of these great things to do as a family in this barren desert!

Audrey tried many different poses for this one.

Lexi loved sliding down every rock she could find.

I'm surprised she didn't rip her pants.

You can't see it in the picture, but Audrey is climbing into another hole in the cave.

I'm yelling at both of them to get out of there!
