Springs Preserve






The day before I flew home Eric took us to the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas - an expansive interactive science exhibition all about the history of water in Las Vegas. It was just fascinating and I hope to go back someday. We stood on a platform in the water room as a flash flood came crashing down a rock formation all around us. Hannah and Luke had a ball playing with the video games which included helping bees pollinate desert flowers, etc. The beautifully landscaped desert gardens were decorated with Christmas lights. I learned a lot about the water situation in LV, which means The Meadows in Spanish. Less than 10% is used by casinos and hotels. Over 75% is used by homeowners on their lawns and gardens! Hannah and Luke romped and played before we went to Mercado's for scrumptious Mexican food and Margaritas.
