Mesquite part II Snow Canyon with the Woolseys

Trailhead The Woolseys were visiting Heidi's grandma in St. George the same weekend we had our baseball tournament. They came to Friday's games to watch Hudson and Scott play. Then we met them Saturday to hike Snow Canyon, a tradition for them. I was so excited to have something new to do when we go down there from now on! It is soooo beautiful!
Easy climbing, it was like steps all the way up.



Hudson and Jacob were always ahead of us!

Larry and Mike carried our lunches.


Best buds
We sat at the top to eat our lunch.

The views were breathtaking.



This is the Mountain to our left that Hudson, Jacob and Parks hiked to the top of and back before we were even done eating our lunch! They are just dots on the mountainside from here.

Taylor, Alix and Tierra

Why they have to take their shirts off is beyond me. Skinny, white, bony boys, always flexing their muscles! ha ha ha

While hiking we lost Hud and Jake. Heidi and I went back down to this Lava Rock cave because we knew they wanted to go down in it and sure enough....after much hollering we heard them deep down inside the cave...there are two entrances and it's pitch black deep inside!

So all of us came back and ventured inside.

Mike had gone in ahead and hid in a hole waiting for the girls. When they got close enough he turned the flashlight on his face and growled. Logan heard the screams and started hiking back out by himself!
Hud and Jake found a new way out...They got scrapes from it but they kept doing it several times!
Eating a snack outside the cave.

Heading back down the trail for home.
