A day in Red Rock 5-31-08

After sitting around the house Saturday morning catching up on TIVO, Trent decided we should get off our big booties and take the girls to Red Rock. We packed up the cooler, grabbed some sandwiches at Port of Subs and headed out. It was a great day and it wasn't too hot. Living in Las Vegas you forget that there are gorgeous mountains surrounding us and we never take the time to enjoy it. We also got a little exercise which is always a plus!
So Pretty!


Heather was looking for the little people climbing the rocks.


We hiked on the Lost Creek Trail which is easy and good for kids. It's also called the Kid's Discovery trail. Logan did SO GOOD! She held my hand and walked the entire time and never complained. The only thing she said was that she likes butterflies, not bugs!
Trent was trying to get some sun








Towards the end of the hike there's a waterfall - it was pretty dry but there was still water running down
Trent walked under it and it looks like it was cold!
The last time we were there - the area we were standing in was full of water.
The girls and daddy rested under the tree before the walk back to the car.
I was scared a snake would be hanging out in the tree and fall on me!
Walking back to the car.

After we left there we drove 4 miles down the street to Spring Mountain Ranch. I'd never been there before and it had been years for Trent. They have a huge grass area with BBQ's and picnic tables, there's a house up there that is a museum now - Hugh Hefner was once an owner - and there's also a stage where they have shows under the stars. The next show out there is Beauty and the Beast so we'll be going back with the girls sometime in June. And right after leaving Spring Mountain Ranch there's Bonnie Springs. We didn't go there because we had to get Logan back for a nap, but that's our next stop. It looked like there was a lot of history and fun stuff there too...maybe living here isn't that bad!
