Sophie's First Hike

In February we decided it had been way too long since we took a family hike.  Time was limited so we headed for the closest option -- the San Tan Mountains.  There is a state park with trails and visitors center.  It was a fun day.
Carter was the camera man for much of the trip.  Here's Alex, Camille, Julie, Sophie, Eve, Lydia, Bradley.


Camille has a strong independent streak.  We had the backpack for her but she wanted to use her own two feet.

When you run out of hands there are options.  I also like the note on Alex's hand.  I think he was supposed to call or email someone.

A blue Arizona sky.  This is pretty close to the color I painted one of my walls in Portland.  I do love a big blue sky.
