Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area & Eliza's play

 Friday we made the trip down to spend the day at RRCNCA!  It's an awesome place just outside of Las Vegas.  It has beautiful geological features everywhere you look.  There's a 13-mile scenic one-way drive with stops along the way to hike to amazing things.  We did the drive and some short hikes as much as we could with the gale force winds going on that day.  Without that wind it would have been a balmy 71 degrees, but with it, we were very glad we brought our warm coats and gloves.  We still enjoyed it wind or not!  After that we visited Spring Mountain Ranch State Park.  It's a cool old ranch from days gone by.  Mostly just the old ranch house with history of it's many famous owners.  It's in a beautiful setting that shows what water can do for an otherwise very desert area.  Not really much to see other than that.  Not sure it was $15.00 worth, but now we know.  

The night before we went to Eliza's school play.  It was really cute and she was part of a very cute troop of ringtail lemurs in it.  Glad we got to see her do such a great job!
