Pull up your popcorn cause this post is going to be a long one. brain and Angie invited us to go play at the Dixie rocks and we had such a grand time that I couldn't cram it into a collage. I needed to give each beautiful red rock picture a chance to show. So we started off hiking and Jude would not be slowed down. He chased his Dad and Grandpa everywhere they went like he was just as big as any of them. He was doing so good...until...! There was a point that we came to that Jude didn't want to go down. he was wiggling and squirming so bad that we couldn't keep a safe hold on him. It was a steep enough rock that if he feel he wouldn't stop and would do some serious damage. So we got uncle Brian to stand at the bottom... and we threw Jude! It was about 8 feet and we ended up having to throw Dexter down to. It was pretty funny to see the Oh crap looks on their faces but it was the safest way little wiggle worms. Poor kiddos.

Then we tackled the narrows. It is these two slabs of rock that have come together with just barely enough room to squeeze through, and I mean barely. Look how squished in we are!Poor Dexter got way scared about half way through and decided he was done. To bad kiddo you passed the point of no return and if you want out then you have to get to the other side. So Angie grabbed on hand and i grabbed the other and we dragged him the rest of the way. I felt like I was kidnapping some poor kid. Dexter went limp legged and was scraping and bashing himself all over the narrow space. It was one of the saddest things I have had to do but the way that place is set up you have to go through after a certain point.The view from the bottom.Jude and Ollie took off and did fine.Suck it in! SQUEEEZEEE!!!About here is the point of no return. Although there are little places where the rocks open and you can take brakes and photos!After we got through the narrows we stopped for lunch and the big boys showed us their strength and the little boys showed us their jumping skills.











We had such a good time!!!

That was so much fun! Well, with the exception of us dragging my limp 2 year old through a narrow space of jagged rocks! It was the worst thing ever to do. And I'm so glad you thought to bring food because I totally spaced it!
