Friday Night Hiking - - White Domes


Friday night we hit the White Domes area inside Valley of Fire. The kids did an amazing job hiking. We walked through caverns, scaled mountains, hid in caves, and had a blast just exploring the area.  CJ was up in front of the group, leading the way.  Preston was such a sweet brother with Aparri and held her hand and helped her when she got tired.  At the end of the hike, there was a large rock mountain...Laura just stood there and looked at it.. and before she knew what was happening - Clay was on top of it...that man can not keep his feet on the ground!  And before she could stop him, CJ ran forward and was up with Clay, and Preston was 1/2 way up trying to make it...  so what to do?? Laura debated, does she take Aparri and climb up too?  Well, Preston started calling for help, and that made the decision for her.  She grabbed Aparri's hand and up they went too.  Clay came down and helped them all up, but Yep...the whole Ward family eventually made it to the top of the mountain.. Laura never in a million years would have thought they would have done it and here they were...The kids loved scaling the rock mountain and getting to the top- NO FEAR! Up down and all around - I think we sufficiently wore out the kids for the night!! PS...we stopped by Burger King on the way camping...and CJ would not part with his crown!!!  KING CJ!
