Our 103 Degree Hike

Before leaving St. George we decided to take a quick hike through Snow Canyon.

The hiking trail  we wanted to take was happened to be closed for some reason so we took the Lava Rock Hike.  Unfortunately it ended up being a four mile hike.  It was noon before we were done and it was HOT!The kids love hiking so they really did not complain at all.  Blake was totally in his element.   There were three large lava caves on the way that they climbed into.  I was just fine staying out of the cave with Abby.  I wasn't so sure what was inside but nobody else was too worried about what might be in there waiting for them. 

We made it to the end.  By now it was really hot!  The last quarter of the hike we were dragging.  I was dying and I told Todd to just take the kids and go ahead.  He is such a trooper to carry Madison and Abby.  Abby did awesome!  I was able to keep up too :)   Me and the girls were a little jealous of Blake and Daddy being able to take their shirts off.  Luckily we had just enough water to get us back.  We were all so proud of ourselves and hurried to the air conditioned car to get some cool Gatorade's. 

After we had to hit our favorite ice cream spot for lunch.  We deserved it!  Then we were on to Vegas for the night.  We do want to go back sometime and try some more trails in the cooler months.
