Family Hike

Gigi found this really neat hiking trail and since we are always looking for something fun to do as a family, we all loaded up and headed out.  This trail used to be a railroad that carried supplies out to Hoover Damn when it was under construction.  The tracks have since been removed and now it is a nice and flat trail.   We had such an enjoyable time.  I am already looking forward to revisiting this hike.  
Of course my kids found the only stairs on the whole hike, which weren't even actually on the hike.
Crew walking with Papa (of course they are ahead of everyone else) and Gracie holding hands with her Gigi.  
Layla hitching a ride (mostly because she was so slow and had to look at way too many rocks)


After Crew climbed the side of the mountain Layla had to try but with much less success and many more tears.
Here is the highlight of the trail.  There are 5 tunnels that were blasted out of the mountain for the supply trains to travel through.  




Gracie really wanted Aaron to carry her back to the car.  This is the result of Aaron telling her no.  It couldn't be considered a true family outing without Gracie having a meltdown.  With this one she did not disappoint.
