The Wind Strikes Again

We headed up to Red Rock Canyon a few days ago with high hopes of a family hike.
 

But it was not to be. It was really windy and Jansen flipped that switch in his brain where he becomes deathly afraid of it. He WOULD NOT GET OUT OF THE CAR. His little legs were shaking and he was so worried about it. Nate ended up going on a hike for about an hour with Natalie, his faithful companion. Well, I'm his faithful companion too, but she is more faithful when it comes to outdoorsy stuff. Jansen and I hung out in the car and I took a little nappy nap. Because I'm pregnant and stuff.
I've missed the West. It's beautiful.
 
I love Nate in the background. He is definitely looking at a bird. And I love my brave little Natalie hiker.

That freckled nose is to die for. Seeing those rocks makes me want to climb them.

Looks like things are going well for you guys. I love the West too and forget how beautiful it can be until I see sweet pictures like yours.

We miss you guys but are so happy for you. Hey my brother may be moving there so who knows we could see you sooner than we thought.

What pretty pictures. It really makes me miss the west a lot. It's too flat here for sure. Hope all is well and you are all moved in okay. Sure miss you guys.

We would hike red rock canyon nearly every other weekend when we lived in Las Vegas. It was a Cheap date. We got a year long pass. Glad some of you got to enjoy it. A nap isn't too bad either. Sometimes I miss the mountains of the west. Everywhere you look here there's a tree blocking the view. :)
