Friends

Kelly and I had some company for the past two days; our friends Darlene and Jeremy flew to Las Vegas, spent three days there, and then drove down to see us in Arizona.  We were thrilled that they came and had a wonderful time together.  

I took them for a rather adventurous hike at South Mountain (I had no idea that those hills have no trails off of them and once you are on them you are stuck!!) So we may have veered off the path after about three climbs (see picture above); I know the area said closed but I was fine with disobeying the park rules until a helicopter flew right over us.  I was pretty scared that it was the park rangers coming to yell at us (you know like in the movies with megaphones) and then I realized, park rangers have helicopters?  Maybe not.  

I had Noah on my back for the first hill, my goodness he is heavy, eventually I had to pawn him off onto Jeremy.  I am so out of shape.

Thanks for the visit Omstead's!  I am so glad you came.  And sorry Dar for not explaining the Ticket to Ride game very well; maybe that's why I won??
