"Trail Closed - Heat Kills"

We tried to go on a hike.

We packed up, ready to hike down to the river, drove all the way there, only to read the trail sign.

"Trail Closed - Heat Kills"

So, apparently it's hot in Las Vegas, and you shouldn't go on this trail between the months of April - September. Who knew? It wasn't on the freaking website we looked at before driving out there.

We had to change our plans and change them quick before we had a mutiny on hands.  Afton and Jack were growing quite restless in the car. Jocelyn was passed out, thank goodness.

We left that stupid trail, and proceeded to Lake Mojave, which was about 20 minutes from where we were.

It was a good choice. The freaking heat was no joke, but the water was the perfect cure!

We all had a good time. Jocelyn splashed around in the water, then tried to catch lizards on land, Afton and my Sugar jumped on cliffs, and Jack practiced his diving. I just enjoyed seeing my babies have so much fun while I got a bit of a tan, and ensured that Jocelyn did not drown or jump off of a cliff. She is so WILD!

So glad the sign said, "Trail Closed - Heat Kills." 

We didn't need that stupid trail anyway!
