Hope's First Hike

We went to Flagstaff for a growth hormone teach Friday night. We had a romantic dinner at Fazoli's and watched the original Caddyshack (don't recommend it. No wonder the 70's were rough. That kind of humor could make anyone go nuts). It was an evening to remember. The next morning we went on a hike. It was called Sandy's Canyon just outside of Flagstaff. Surprisingly the temperature was not as cool as we had hoped, but it was beautiful. Hope slept through most of it. We caked on enough sunscreen that her forehead looked like a clown's face.

Rather than take the trail back, Addy wanted to do some bouldering:
Addy: "Do we get to climb up right there?" (pointing to the rock cliff)
Aubree: "Addy, we don't have a rope."
Addy: "I don't need a rope. I'm a big girl."

For being a big girl she sure spent a lot of time in the back of Dad's pack.

I know it's really OK to take a break after you have a baby! You look great. Hope is beautiful even with sunblock caked on her.

Fun Times. Funny post. Funny Addy. I think kids are funny when they think they are all grown up only when they want to do something crazy.
