Sunday morning we headed north on I95 to exit 99 where we attended the 27th Snow Mountain Pow Pow. It was hosted by the local Paiute Tribe. There were over 300 native dancers in attendance.
Fancy footwork
Learning the ropes.
Costume envy?
Jingle Dancers
In honor of Memorial Day an older soldier was performing a special dance. And one of the little dancers just felt the need to bust a move!
Sunday evening we headed for dinner at the House of Blues on the Strip.
Then we checked out the Luxor next door.
Monday, it seems everyone wanted to be in or on the waters of Lake Mead. Us included. We booked a lake cruise on the Desert Princess. It as very warm out but we found shade and nice breezes on the lake. The lake is at its lowest level since it was first filled. Sad but still beautiful.

Carp and Coy near the boat launch. Apparently they eat a lot of popcorn!
The water wasn't always as deep as the water line.
There was a period where the lake was at flood stage.
Many people were enjoying the waters by the dam. Not so sure about the dog!
We wrapped up the visit with a trip to Bonnie Springs Ranch for some horseback riding. It was another hot morning so we were the only three on the tour. (Dan had to work.) What a beautiful ride at the base of Wilson Mountain.
Jordan finally got to see some burros on this trip! There were about 20 near the entrance to Bonnie Springs Ranch.
New baby!
What a great time was had by all. We had dinner with Linda, Art and Hayley at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Jaun's Flaming Fajitas. Time was spent at the community pool as well. No sunburns ... but everyone got some color to take back to Vermont!
Glad to bring everyone up to speed. We are under an excessive heat warning for the rest of the week! Friday 105, Saturday 108, Sunday 107. Hello SUMMER!
It's all about the journey!
All our best. Nancy and Dan
