On Veteran's Day, we decided to go out and take a hike around Lake Mead. I guess, since I've lived in so many beautiful places, I just imagined that a hike around a lake would have, I don't know, a little nature? Instead, we got this.
We made the mistake of pushing our stroller along the gravel, thinking that Jason would nap for part of the hike (it was his nap time) or even just sit for a few minutes. Instead, we spent our time carrying an over-grown baby and pushing an empty stroller. We did try and walk with him several times but his proved to be even worse since he is absolutely fascinated with rocks/dirt/gravel.
After watching him examine every pebble he could find, we'd resort to carrying him again.
The big reason we picked this hike was that people raved about the tunnels that you could find along the way. (These were made to cart materials to make the dam.) So we walked for an hour and came upon these bad boys.
Yeah. There were two of them. Alright, I guess. A little underwhelming, if you ask me. Still, it provided a bit of shade and a little bit of amusement.
Can you spot our photo-bomber?
We did have a nice view of the lake int the distance.
There were another set of tunnels further up the path but we decided that we'd had enough of Nevada nature and took a small rest before turning around. Here is Jason with his BFF.
But the best part of the whole hike, according to Jason, was the fact that every 10 minutes a helicopter tour roared by. It circled right above us and so we got a great view every time it passed.
Here is Jason signing 'airplane' as one passed.
On the way back, Ethan decided to pose on every group of rocks he found. This was, by far, his funniest pose.
Alaina has one thing to say to all of you....
