Mt. Graham

Friday night we took the kids on a mini vacation. We stayed in a hotel in Wilcox & went swimming that night. The next morning we went to Mount Graham & it was so nice & green there.

It was so nice to be in cooler weather & surronded by green-something we don't see in Tucson much.

Chasing lizards-it is a team effort

If scrapped knees is a sign of having a fun time then Marlee had a blast

I'm loving this new camera

The boys had one of their dreams come true this weekend- they have been wanting to drive through the clouds & they got to...

love this girl

The boys had fun looking for animals & finding big pinecones

It was cloudy & rainy a lot of the day

We tried to convince Marlee to smell the flowers but she just said all done

cute kiddos

We went on a hike & Marlee let me carry her on the way in but, then she wanted her dad to take her for the rest of the hike.

Laun took some great photos on our hike

I liked this view-the circle fields are cool

Marlee got sick of being carried & decided it would be funner to hike like the rest of us.

Porter gave Marlee a walking stick just her size

There was a storm coming in & it shortened our hike & we were hurrying out to beat the storm. The lightening was pretty loud but, we got to the truck in time.

We had a fun trip. Although Clayton was bummed that it was raining when we were by the pond because he couldn't fish. We ended up eating our picnic lunch in the truck since it was raining. We had never been to Mt. Graham before & we had a good time & enjoyed the great views.
