A family hike on Orme Duges Road

We needed a family day and why not break in Ty (Tyrone) for the first time.






This is a bird egg next to a spider whole (see the spider web in the whole)...yeah, starting the hike out with this site was not my favorite moment.


It was a beautiful day with lots of wind.









I love the outdoors and I enjoy camping. Heck, I grew up camping...but when it comes to Arizona outdoors I am way out of my area. Hiking today made me feel very uncomfortable. I didn't want to look up and enjoy the beauty of the earth. Instead I was on high alert looking for snakes, big spiders, cactus, red ants, and anything else that would get us. I realize that I am not good at the outdoors when it comes to Arizona. So, with that I will take my camping with nice bathrooms and fighting off mosquito's. On the other hand I have a husband that doesn't seem to be bothered by anything, I guess we are a nice mix. :) As for Alexander he is a good mix between the two of us.


My husband taking care of business...they always have to do it off a rock...why is that?











Alexander and Daddy hiked to the top while I decided to head back to Ty where I would be safe and get lunch ready.


It was windy at the top but Alexander loved it.












Ty was one really really dirty boy and we loved being in a new car.


We didn't get any pictures of this but Zac took us to his High School and we walked around and he showed us his old stomping grounds at Orme High.



Zac driving us home...doesn't he look good! We love our new car.
