San Tan Mountain

Yes, I know this post is 2 weeks late, but I am finally sitting down and updating the blog.
We decided to go and do something fun as a family a couple Saturday's ago and we went on a small hike around San Tan Mountain. It was lots of fun and the kids did great! Hiking around Arizona is a bit different than most places. The only thing Hollie could find and that would keep her eager to move forward were the ROCKS. Yes, there were lots and they quickly became Hollie's favorite thing. She would pick them up, say, "pretty" and put them in her pocket. It was very cute, but sad because most of the time when you go hiking you find pretty flowers. Well, we found cactus and rocks, but we still had a fabulous time.
The weather was perfect and when we were done we came home and played in our splash pad and had a blast. For those of you that don't know what a splash pad is, it's a cement pad, shaped like a kidney bean, and there are water spickets in it and it shoots up water. It's kinda like a water fountain. I hope you understand, I just don't know how to expain it. They have them at the zoo here in Phoenix and sometimes they have them at parks. Anyway, we had some friends over and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a fun filled weekend and it was great to just be with our little family.
