Anniversary Narrows

On Tuesday, we went to Anniversary Narrows out at Lake Mead. I've been wanting to go since I saw our friend Danielle's pictures from her trip. It was a big adventure! We had to go off-roading in order to get there!!! Clint was an excellent driver!

Lucas had a fun time being a Jawa (from Star Wars, of course!), and he had to climb onto every "spaceship" (large rock). The rocks were so cool! They were such a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors.We had to walk a ways up the wash, and with all of the spaceship riding, I thought we were never going to make it to the narrows!!!! But we eventually made it, and it was worth the hike!
Check out Lucas' walking stick! It was also good for raking, hitting, poking, and roasting marshmallow rocks!
Kaitlin was perfect as always! She slept the whole time. Another exciting day!

We did that hike about two years ago. However we were stupid and did it in the middle of summer 102 was the temp and we didn't have water. No smart.

I went there when we lived there. It is pretty fun. Almost like the narrows at zions, but dry.

How cool! Isin't it the best when you have an easy going baby that you can just tote anywhere! Ava was NOT one of those babies! :)
