Ryan had a week off when we moved so we were able to get organized quickly and have a few days together to relax. We headed to Red Rock and found some hiking trails that were short enough for the kids to go on. The first one we tried was Willow Springs Loop Trail which had a special section called the Children's Discovery Trail. We picked up a brochure at the visitor's center that told you fun facts to read to the kids at spots along the trail. Our kids didn't listen very intently but I'm sure other children might.

Two little monkeys
If you look close you can see the cliff drawings
Scrambling up the trail. They were both so independent and insisted they didn't need any help!
Can't remember if this is called Willow Springs or if this was Lost Creek Falls. It wasn't running very much but still pretty to see, and much cooler once we got in the shade.

Little goofballs along for the ride on the trail next to our apartment. Don't you just LOVE Evan's shades?! Poor boy. Can you say blackmail photo?

Here's a look at Lauren all grown up- tall and skinny!! Don't know where she gets it :)
Ryan's sister Angela came to visit us the week after we got here. She came through with her sis and mom-in-law on their way back from CA. We hadn't seen her for over two years so it was great to catch up, even just for a few hours.
Sorry about the blur. Not sure what was up with my camera. Pretty sure the battery was going dead, but these two were the best I got. Sorry Ang!
Anyway, I've filled my blog quota for the......year I think so I'm done! JK, I'm really going to try to keep this updated more regularly now. "Regularly" is relative you know. Look below for my other latest post of our St. George trip. Next up- a post of our latest hikes and a visit from our good friends Chris and Tiffanie with their two cute girls. Til then!
