As mentioned in my ‘anti-vegas‘ post, we hiked in Red Rock Canyon one day while we were there. Jake and Janie had never been, and we had been twice before (here and here) and decided it would be a fun way to get in some exercise.
First we checked out the visitor’s center and got another stamp in Adele’s National Park passport! This was her second time to Red Rock!
Adele was fascinated by the lizard who was being served carrots and celery for lunch.
Maybe it was a coincidence, but Adele walked over to the “E” below and shouted “EEEEEeee!!”
Soon enough, we headed out on our hike!
Not a day passes that I don’t get knocked in the face by something Adele is holding.
(Public Service Announcement: Don’t ever let Adele try to ‘brush’ your hair. It’s more like ‘whack-your-head’).
Not long into our hike, our happy traveler fell fast asleep!
Climbing high above the desert floor!
Oh yea… um. WE SAW A TARANTULA!!!!!!
I debated not even posting those pictures because just looking at them I get the creeps. Luckily Adele was brave and didn’t get scared at all… because she was still sleeping 1.5 hours later.
She only woke up when we got back to the car and tried to transfer her to her carseat. Lucky for me, I got to enjoy some post-nap snuggles. I take ’em when I can get ’em!

Love it! Looks like a great hike (I remember you posting about this hike before and thinking how fun it looks) and I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU STUMBLED UPON THAT TARANTULA! Caps are necessary… I literally gasped when I saw that 🙂 So glad you got some good family time with Jake & Janie!
