Going For A Hike

We were supposed to go see the Rockies play a spring training game Friday after Zhara got out of school but we couldn't due to some conflicts at David's work so we did the next best thing. We went "hunting" or at least that's what Alyssa called it.
Me: "No Lys we are hiking"
Lys: "no we are hunting"
Me: "Hunting what"
Lys: "Cactus"
And she was right. We hiked a mountain called Pinnacle Peak & we were looking at all the cacti that had fallen over from all the rain. Did you know that Saguaro's (the ones with the arms for those of you who don't know) only grow arms after they are 60 years old? That is just amazing to me. Here is Dad taking some pictures of the blooms for his mom

It got a little dark so we had our "picnic" in the car on the way to ice cream. We ended our night with our Friday night movie ritual. I have to say that although I would have like to have seen the baseball game, I enjoyed our evening together as a family.
