RAWHIDE - HEE-YAH!

Wednesday night after our Camelback Mountain hike, we took a trip to the old west to Rawhide.  There were all sorts of activities that we did, including:

The kids did some panning for "gold" and found a few nuggets.

We went on a "train" ride (though not on tracks) through the old west.  On the ride, we got to see a beautiful sunset!

One of the kids favorite activities was the rock climbing wall.  Jacob did the wall over and over - trying from the different sides.  He especially liked ringing the bell at the top.  Claire also did the wall a few times - she was a great climber, too.  The bell was a little high for her, but she enjoyed climbing 15 feet or so.
 

Claire, Kate, and Liam all got to ride burros, too.  They all thought it was pretty cool!  Meanwhile, Jacob was busy climbing the wall.


They had a mechanical bull that the kids loved riding, though half of the battle for them was just getting on the thing!  Jacob was super enthusiastic, and Claire was funny to watch - there were a few times where she was basically off the bull, but was still barely hanging on with just her legs.


Dani and Jared even took turns riding the bull.  Dani was pretty hot stuff - she even stayed on a couple seconds longer than Jared.

It was a lot of fun for all of us!
