The day before Valentines day TJ surprised our family and took us on a hike through Red Rock Canyon. I have been telling TJ how badly I wanted to go on a hike with the boys so he planned this for us!! On the way there I was trying to figure out where he was taking us. I LOVE surprises!! Was it the Shark Reef? Was it miniature golfing? The closer we got I was sure we were headed to Bonnie Springs. Much to my surprise and excitement almost an hour later we arrived in the absolutely breathtaking red rock canyon!! Who knew Nevada was beautiful??!!
The hike was supposed to be meant for children and the elderly. Well...we must have taken the wrong path because we were slipping and the kids were sliding down gravel and rocks the whole way!! We even had to walk through a couple little streams to get to the sought after waterfall!! Yes, there are seasonal waterfalls in Nevada!! We were lucky because it had just rained a couple days before our hike!!
Marshall was a champ and led his brothers through the rough terrain!! At the end of the hike Marshall wanted to go on another hike!!! Kason wasn't feeling 100% which may be why he was NOT so sure footed, but he still LOVED getting to the waterfall!! Brigham only needed to be carried through the streams and made it most of the way without being carried. Sylvie slept most of the way in her carrier!! The weather was BEAUTIFUL!! It was an AMAZING day!! Thanks to an AMAZING TJ!!
