Jura and the girls on the way into the play

Payton and the girls from Les Miserables!

We decided we'd have one last family weekend trip before I start back to work and the girls go back to school. The Oasis up in Mesquite, Nevada offers CCSD teachers a free 2 night stay so we figured we'd take advantage. Although it is no five star hotel, it made do for a couple nights and allowed us to have some fun with the kids. Friday night we found a great little Chinese food place in town to have a deicious dinner and we had taken the new Monopoly game with us to play back at the hotel. The new version uses a debit card type system instead of the actual money that ends up getting lost or torn, so we tried it out. The girls had tons of fun bidding against us for properties! It was a fun night of playing games and eating junk food. Shhh...did I just say that? Saturday we slept in then drove over to St. George and walked around the outlet mall for a bit. We then had dinner and headed up to Tuacahn. This is a beautiful outdoor amphitheater set against the red rocks. We took in the evening performance of Les Miserables. It was absolutely wonderful. It was a bit hot, but nothing we aren't used to. If you haven't ever visited, I would highly recommend. I can't believe I've lived out here ten years and NEVER gone. We will certainly be going back, maybe next time earlier in the summer or early fall when it isn't quite as hot. I'm headed to KS tomorrow to visit my family, the girls are at their mom's for the week and Darrin will be busy working here. Two more weeks of vacation for me and then back to work:)
