Today was the first official day of Fall Break. We have the whole week off of school/work. (except for dear ole' dad) But since Jim has Mondays off each week, we chose today for our family outing. Our destination was the Peralta trail, in the superstition mountains. 4.5 miles to the top and 4.5 miles to the bottom. And we made it! It was such a beautiful day. It was 51 degrees when we started at 8:00am. We had a cool front come in, and we loved it. It was about 75 when we got done at noon.
Here we are at the start of the trail head.

Can you tell how excited Alyson was for the days adventure? I think Dallas was not quite awake yet!


We named this formation Turtle rock. Do you see it?

One tired mama... I should mention that I am fighting a head cold. Made it a little more challenging for me.

I LOVE that you did it with just your family. A great way to bond!
Fabulous.

The look on Dallas's face in that firs picture is hilarious.
Great day for a hike and I love how you all went! The idea of a bounty for your camera was a smart one and so glad it 'paid off'! I love the home improvement projects! I hope you have such a wonderful, relaxing rest of fall break! : )) Give everyone a 'hi' for me!

Oh...how FUN! The pictures you took are so beautiful. I dream of family hikes, but having Ben makes it really hard. Is it HOT there still?
