Vegas--Day 2

Day 2 Another beautiful day. We decided to head up to Red Rock canyon for some hiking--along with EVERYONE else in Las Vegas. Holiday + beautiful weather + free entry to the park day = BUMPER TO BUMPER traffic out in the middle of no where! It was crazy. We had a great picnic and then forged our own trail, away from the hordes of people, down a dry
river bed. It was the most exercise I have had for a long time. :) My kids loved every second of it.

The crew Gavin, Kesley, Jenna, Maggie, Audrey & Drew (miles was on dad's back)
Holly's husband, Owen, was an awesome tour guide and kept things interesting for the kids. I wish I could remember interesting facts...ya know...about anything...
We hiked to these cool Indian petroglyphs-
And then joined back up with the crowds at this waterfall. Holly and I had flash backs of the Hindu tourist attack we experienced at The Grotto up Payson canyon... you can't see all the people in the picture, but trust me.Now, the big ugly "Y" t-shirt I am wearing was meant to be slept in, but the weather was so great and all I brought were long sleeves, so it became my wardrobe--totally embarrassing.

Day 2 Success! After a great dinner, we said goodbye to the Sanders, loaded up and headed home--well, at least to St. George. And so begins DAY 3!
