A Hiking We Did Go!

Saturday we decided to go see what all the hype was about Mt. Charleston, so we sort of got prepared and drove on up the canyon. (I totally forgot the sun screen oops!) It was well worth the hype-Gorgeous!!! I loved it up there. The temp was like 20 degrees cooler then at our house, the mountains were gorgeous, and the hike was not too bad. Ali decided that we were pirates looking for buried treasure the whole time. She is too funny. We didn't make it all of the way to the falls because the girls were tired and I am still not all the way up to snuff. We found out when we got back down that we only had three more switch backs and we would have been to the falls. So lame I say, but we had a blast so it doesn't really matter.
Here are a few of my favorite pics of the day.

Me and the girls posing for a photo op! Dion't judge the hair we were hiking.

We found this under the rock that we were sitting on. We totally need to find out more about geo cashe. The stuff inside was so fun.

Randy and the girls hiking up the trail. Notice the stuffed pig. Ali decided that she had to go with us too.

This would be one of the pics of the gorgeous scenery.

Had to show this pic too. How cool is this crooked tree? It was growing out of the side of the mountain. You have to click on the pic to really see the crooked tree.

ali cracks me up! that sounds like something jack would decide --- pirates looking for treasure --- lol!
i think that we're going to have to try a few little hikes after thatcher comes (and i've recovered) just to get out of the house with the boys and enjoy the scenery (which is insanely lentiful here!)
