Hoover Dam

We recently had the opportunity to go and see a major man-made wonder.....the Hoover Dam. When we looked around, we were stunned at how massive this creation actually is. We commented on the fact that the people who thought up and designed the Hoover Dam were probably the kids that constantly challenged and pushed the boundaries in their classroom setting, because this type of structure could have only been thought of by people who "think out of the box".


When we got out of the car to take pictures, the temperature was around 115 degrees. It actually HURT to breath in the air, because it was soooooo hot. Johnny commented on the fact that this temperature was not even as hot as the temperatures that our troops are having to endure in Iraq and Afganistan....gave us all something to think about.

This picture shows a new bridge that they are building over the dam. We all decided that we would not want to be the first ones to try out this road!!!! Look out below!!!!
