Hiking

This kid can sleep anywhere.

Don't let this cute face deceive you. He is not a hiker.

The Kieta's invited us to go hiking along some of their family. Zander had never been hiking before, but thought we'd give it a try. We hiked up the Wind Cave Trail in Usery Mountain Regional Park. It is a 3.2 mile round trip hike that is classified as moderately difficult. We were unaware of this and needless to say struggled to get up the trail. To say we are unfit would be an understatement. We carried Zander most of the way as he was super slow and kept falling down. He even fell asleep half way up, so Devin put him inside a baby sling so we could make it to the top. The view from the cave made the strenuous hike worth it. The weather was cooler and we had a beautiful view of the desert landscape and Phoenix area. The way down was a lot easier so I think we may give hiking another chance once it cools down more.
