Red Rock

It seems like I'm always a week late getting to my blog, but we went to Red Rock last Saturday and I wanted to post some cute pictures I got. Addison LOVES going to "the mountains" to climb around. Every time we see mountains, hills, big rocks or pretty much anything that looks climbable (is that a word?) she always says "hey, let's go climb those mountains". It has been quite a while since we've been climbing, so she was ecstatic to go to Red Rock. We were there for a couple of hours and just followed along some of the easier paths. The weather was beautiful, except for the wind. The winds kept getting stronger, so eventually we decided to leave. We got a year pass though, so we plan on going back quite a bit since we all enjoyed it so much. Urban was SO GOOD. On the way into the rock I had him facing out in his front pack, and he just enjoyed looking around at everything. On the way back we were heading straight into the wind so I faced him in towards me and he just fell asleep, it was so sweet. Addison kept pretending like she was baby Jaguar (from Diego). She would start climbing on something then turn around to show us her claws and explain to us that her claws help her to climb like baby Jaguar. We really had a lot of fun. People kept passing us (real rock climber type people) and telling us we were brave for doing this with such young kids. Until people said something to us I never thought twice about it. We always bring our kids everywhere with us. I'm glad we did, they had a blast!

Urban was tuckered out after a long day of being lugged around by his mom.

Okay, in case you were wondering, I didn't really climb in my heels. I thought it would be funny to take a picture of me climbing up a rock in them as a joke because everyone always teases Heather about wearing heels all the time. Jared thought I was a big dork for going to all the trouble to bring heels in my back pack just to get a silly picture. I suppose he's right! It was funny though because people who were walking by as I was up on the rock with my heels on were giving me the strangest looks. =)
