Andrew does Red Rock

Howdee all,

Nephew Andrew is with us for two weeks. A week here in Red Rock Canyon and then a week in Death Valley.

Jeff is teaching him how to get up early and go gambling..So far I don't think he has lost too much..and Jeff is about even.

We tend to do afternoon hikes most every day.

We thought we would break Andrew in with a hike that we did when Nephew David was visiting..

Some light bouldering around the Calico rocks

Andrew enjoyed the candy cane striped rocks And enjoyed the challenge of bouldering..

I really..enjoy the mixture of rocks here,..stripes, polka dot and orange.  Andrew going down a boulder..hummm.. watched by the experts.. Nice job getting down! Another fun way to cross thru boulders…pressure with the feet on one and pressure with the hands on another..till you reach the bottom… Or…Jump…. …Andrew is feeling at home amongst the red rocks… Like his new Home?

More Andrew adventures to come…stay tuned Rick and Gail for more fun..

You might want to brace yourself for the next segment..Mom Gail..

as Andrew will be rock climbing up a 60 foot high rock face…

YIKES..

ps..I do some rock climbing too!
