On Saturday the Ward Crew and the Crittenden Crew (Connor is in CJ's Class at school...and their family has become good friends with ours!! Jennifer said that she would rather have a root canal than be in pictures...but we snuck a few of her anyway!!) ventured to a hiking trail!!! It was an old abandoned railway line that was used during the construction of Hoover Dam that they have now converted into a hiking/biking trail. It was soo neat. The trail follows Lake Mead and goes through 5 tunnels. The hike is about 2.5-3.5 miles one way (depending on if you make it all the way to the dam). The kids had a great time hiking through the tunnels, climbing on rocks off the trail, and just being outside and exploring. CJ even stumbled upon a "Geo Cache" which Clay (who learned from Kastin and Joslyn) was excited to tell us - was a notebook, ink pad and a pen that you sign and let people know you have been there - people leave these all over and you can go on line and try and find them like a treasure hunt...so needless to say, Clay was pretty excited to see it!!! The weather was beautiful...sunny and warm in February! I think we can get used to this Vegas weather!!! The kids had a nice thick layer of dirt from head to toe, tired legs, and a smile when we got to the end...so, I guess we can say...after all was said and explored....It was a GOOD DAY!! I think we will be doing this trail again!!!
