Day 8 - Red Hills

On Day 8 we got up as early as a vacation dictates and headed out to the Red Hills to do some bouldering.  Final Destination "the Crack"  We had so much fun climbing, hoping and scrambling on all these cool rock structures.  There is this really cool place that you can wedge yourself through if you are no wider then 8 inches when you stand sideways.  Really!  If you have your head facing one direction as you squeeze through you can't turn it around and you need to expand all the air in your chest.  This was one time when I was glad I was a negative A Cup for sure.  Another fun adventure in the books!  After some bouldering we headed to the brand new Chick-Fil-A for some good eats, then back to the pool some cookie thieving and relaxation.

-Jessica and Josie
-Mackenzie, Galen, Kevin and Conor-on top of the world
-Me-looking for everyone. Fun thing about this place is the exploration and elevation vantage points. 
-Looking down at the mouth of the crack.  Kenz, Josie, Kevin, Lincoln and Me
-Headed in

-We are in the middle of the crack here
-Self portrait in the "larger" portion of the crack

-Kenzie sharing an insect moment with Lincoln
-The whole gang overlooking St. George-see the temple above Kevin and Lincoln?
-Grand Opening at Chick-Fil-A.  Wish we had one of these in Spokane
-Galen discovered in the pantry eating cookies...just a funny memory for me
-Now Galen is locked in the pantry by these great jailers!
-Brick oven for Dinner?  Yes please!  They had this awesome pizza buffet, the kids had their own table and everyone had a smile on their face.

Looks like fun but I think I'd have a hard time with the crack - mentally.
