Red Rock Canyon

On Saturday we got sick of sitting inside so we decided to get out into nature!  Off to the Red Rock Canyon!  I have got to warn you that if you come out to visit we are likely to take you here because it is AMAZING!

At the visitors center I decided to ride the lizard!  I think this could be the next big form of transportation!

 On reason we love Red Rock is because you get to basically climb all over a bunch of cliffs!  Of course Brent has to hang off one.  Our 7 year old nephew wanted to try, it was hard to explain to him why Uncle Brent got to act like a reckless doof and he didn't :) 

 Thank Tyler for taking a cute picture!

 Everyone hiking.  I really love to climb but I am a cautious climber.  I think it is because for how tall I am I have pretty small feet, so I don't have as much supporting my heights (that and I am a total klutz and fall a lot.)  It is because of this that I sit and scoot down whenever I feel uncomfortable.  Either way I get to where I want to go!

Josh and Tyler would tend to just disappear and then show up 100 feet away on some huge rock!  They swear they fight but I really didn't hear to much of it while they were here and none while they were on the rocks!

 The king of the world!

 All the Hikers!  Grandma and Grandpa decided to stay on more solid ground and Christi was home with a really bad head ache!

 Sometime Brent will say "Hey that is a great shot.  Mallory go stand there."  In this case he told me to go sit but I think it is a nice picture anyway.

 That was only one stop along an 11 mile drive.  The second was into a crevice. This is probably my favorite place in Las Vegas.  In the crevice there are trees, sand and quiet. I just love being so secluded.  It is really easy to just feel at peace in that situation.

 Everyone enjoying the hidden Crevice.  Although the park was WAY crowded no one else was in here, it made it so much more fun.

 At out last main stop Josh took off hiking just to discover that everyone else was to exhausted from hiking all over to keep going.  He was pretty bummed since this was one of the easiest place to climb really high into the trees.  I was a little bummed to but an exhausted 7 year old doesn't lie.

 Brent took a million amazing pictures, but I like the memories more than the cool landscapes, so I may have him to a blog with some of his favorite landscapes he took. 

I must say this was probably the highlight of the weekend for me!  It was such a great feeling to get out and get moving!  It made me feel less guilty about everything I ate too!
