Red Rock Canyon

This is a video my sister made from her recent visit here. She is a maverick hiker/naturalist/camperoo and she gave us a wonderful gift: being able to see the life and beauty of the desert. She took us to Red Rock Canyon and would stop every once in a while and show the kids something really cool and amazing. I overheard Julian saying, "Wow I thought this would be a really boring hiking trip but I'm having the best time!!"

Audrey walked the WHOLE way, which amazed us all. Ethan was confined to the backpack which he didn't really care for, but the terrain would've been too rough for him and I didn't pack a lot of band-aids.

Thanks to Julie for teaching us about plants, rocks, soil, weather patterns, and why not to litter even biodegradeable things like orange peels.

You are too cool, Jool.

You'll notice that Audrey is wearing SANDALS and she didn't even complain one bit!

Note to self and other hikers: make sure to bring extra band-aids as well as dum-dum suckers or some other form of real candy.
