As I'm sure all of you have, we had a fairly busy weekend. Allison and Julia went down to Phoenix late in the week to see AZ Grandma and Grandpa, do some shopping and meet someone for the first time.
And as it gets closer to Julia's first Christmas, she is being a good sport sitting in front of the tree and playing with wrapping paper.
And although she spends most of her time on her feet, she is starting to be a little more mobile on her belly. Unfortunately, she has only mastered reverse!
Allison and Julia didn't get to have all of the fun though. Since the dogs and I had a night to ourselves, we decided to try some winter camping.
We hiked up Kendrick mountain, one of the local peaks. It was nice and comfortable in the 40s when we started, but I think it got down to about 10 degrees overnight. Was a bit chilly at 10,000+ feet.
It was a great hike with awesome views of the Grand Canyon and Humphreys Peak,
We kept warm with a nice fire and had a hearty dinner of steak and eggs. Dogs too! They enjoyed the people food treat.
The sunset was awesome. Made the cold worth it.
It was a great night and there is nothing like having a mountain to yourself.
I'll probably post a more detailed report at some point on In Search of Thin Air as well, if interested.
Although I'm sure we will post before Christmas, Happy Holidays to you and yours.
