We went hiking out at Red Rock Canyon last Sunday. We took along Ciara's friend, Robert, so he could enjoy the day with us. We decided to stop and have a picnic before hopping onto the trail. As we stopped to have a quick sandwich, we were entertained by the neighboring 'picnic-ers'. There was a man trying to light his charcoal grill. Flames were shooting about two feet out of the grill and he continued to squirt his lighter fluid into the fire. We were waiting for the massive explosion, but we only got to view an armful of hair getting singed. I think he lost some eyebrows too! 
After the picnic, we headed for the trail. The whole event turned more into rock climbing than hiking. We were scaling mountains and tripping over boulders just so we could get to the waterfalls deep in the canyon. After a long 3 hour hike, we were filthy and ready to head home. Our (my) feet were killing me - of course, I had twisted my ankle on a rock and limped the last 200 yards back to the car. Even with the dirt and injuries, we had fun! We love spending family days together!
