Team Haddox vs the volcano...


We finally climbed Volcan Pacaya as a family. Two other families wanted to climb Pacaya so we decided to do it together.
The climb is too long and steep for kids so we got horses for them and we trekked up. The kids had a blast on the horses. Once we reached the picnic area at the top we stopped and had some dinner before climbing the sea of lava rock to see lava.

The walk over the lava rocks was difficult but we made it to a great lookout right at the base and on the side of the lava flows. Eric proceeded to climb up in between the flows with two other dads. We all were able to watch the lava grow bright as it got darker and then roast hot dogs over the lava.

The walk back to the car wasn't much fun in the dark but we made it safe and everyone had a great time!
