A Day at Red Rock Canyon

Every time we go to Vegas me or Nick make the comment that we should stop at Red Rock and hike. We have been making that comment for over 5 years. We finally decided to go. It was the kids first time hiking. We first stopped at the visitor center which has all been remodeled. The kids loved it. Avery adores animals and they had some live tortoises. She could have watched them all day and been happy. After the visitors center we started driving. They had so many trails to pick from. Of course we picked the shortest and the easiest.

I had a sling for Kamden and off we went. The kids were so excited and couldn't climb fast enough. A few times I had to remind them to wait for me because I was carrying an extra 20 pounds. Not only was it fun to be together as a family but a great learning experience. Kasen was full of questions. He wanted to know how the rocks got there and why they were red. They were both very intrigued about what type of animals lived there and which ones they might see. It started to get hot so we left and stopped to eat at Island Burger in Vegas. So Yummy!!
