We Started the New Year Off the Right way...

by taking advantage of the AZ weather & spending the afternoon hiking as a family!
I only carried Roman 1/2 way up because 1) He kept trying to pull out my hair ties & 2) Let's be honest, he's skinny but having 25 extra lbs on your back when walking up steep hills is a man's job!
So we swapped backpacks & had a water break
This is Bill. We met him on the trail. He was nice with the shortest, red-est, shorts & walked faster than any old man we'd ever seen!
Almost to the top
Enjoying the view from the top
The hike was just too much excitement for Roman I guess & he slept most of the way back down.
One of the things we resolved to do as a family this year is spend more time together doing "wholesome recreational activities"... Feel free to join us anytime! Happy New Year!

Sweet, I'd pull your hair ties out too if I were riding on your back :) Hope you had a good hike today also! Miss you already... :(
