It's been WAY too long since I blogged anything.... we all know WHY!.... and it's initials are f.b.

On New Years day we decided to go on a "hike" up the San Tan mountains (hill). The kids were SO excited about it and could not wait to go! We packed lunches and water & drove to a trail near the San Tan mountains. It was so fun being out in nature with the family. W

e even had good talks about things that are hard to do... we can DO hard things! When we got to the top of our little hill, we ate lunch. The kids emptied their bags and to our surprise we found 3 harmonicas and a guitar along with some other little toys... so, we had a mountain-top family band! It was cool looking out over the town of Queen Creek.

Then, on the way back to the suburban, we decided to look for a "treasure chest" (geocaching box) that was nearby. This one was called Blinging Billie, so we HAD to! The GPS took us off the trail and the girls split up from the boys when we had to cross under barbed wire! Finally the boys found the treasure and we made it back to the suburban just at sunset. It was beautiful, fun & a great way to start out the new year!!
