A few weeks ago, Laura was looking in her Faith in God book (goal setting program for the young girls in church), and came across a goal to plan something for her family to do. A hike was a suggestion, and we'd been talking about going on a hike because the weather has been SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! So, she started researching for a hike over Spring Break. Ethan headed off to Mountain Man Rendezvous for Scouts, so he wasn't with us, but Aunt Cathy and Helen came!
Laura, with a few suggestions from Mom and Dad, decided on Lost Dutchman's State Park. It was a nice hike - just hard enough for a challenge, and just easy enough to enjoy the surroundings and the day. This is Erin, Jamie, Helen, Kelcie, Laura, and Talin in front of the trail that Laura picked.
Resting on the "up" - Kelcie is the yellow shirt way up there. She was in the lead for the longest time - I found out later that she thought we were going to actually climb the mountain - like the straight up part. So, she was a little disappointed, but still ok.

I had to get this view! Isn't it pretty? I loved all the yellow flowers with the cool mountain formations and the beautiful blue sky - Arizona is pretty like this......when it's cool :)
It was a fun activity and it was even more fun that Laura researched it and planned it!
