Our Family Hike

Dan and I decided that our family needed some family time, without friends. So we decided to go on a hike to Silly Mountain. It was the first hike with all of us. We figured we needed to start finding things that really don't cost that much. :)


This was the beginning of our adventure. Everyone had a buddy. Jacob and Elijah, Dan and Joseph, and Isaac and Michael were with me. Obviously I stepped back to take the picture.

This picture is of me with all the boys when we got to the top. Superstition Mountain is in the back. Everyone still doing great and happy!

Joseph took this picture of Dan, Michael, and I. My boys are getting pretty good at getting us in the pictures. Maybe I'll start having more of me with Dan. :)

And of course, what do all boys do out in the wilderness.......pee. (I hope I don't offend anyone with this picture. I just thought I'd share my boys in all their glory.)

Then we stopped and had the lunches we all carried in. We were in clean-up mode at this point. Yes, Dan used the end of a golf club for his walking stick.


Everyone had a good time. In fact, Joseph and Jacob commented on the way back, that they thought it was going to be boring, but it was fun. That is what every parent wants to hear after they force their children to do something they initially don't want too. We hiked for about 2 hrs. and went about 3 miles. You can only go as fast as the slowest person. :)) Isaac did awesome!!!
I'm not really interested in going hiking until the fall. I just assume leave the snakes be.

Love you guys!
