Hiking the Trails

Saturdays have become my favorite days. They are usually filled with companionship and fun! Some Saturdays are cleaning days but it still is fun to be with Brett for a whole day. Well we love to hike on some of these Saturdays together! Here is some pictures from a hike we did in January! We parked my car on the other side of San Tan Mountain and drove Brett's truck to the other side. We went up and over. It was pretty fun. Copper has fun hanging out with us on the mountains too! He loves sniffing out those trails!

 (The Lone Pine)

This past Saturday Brett and I did a fun hike together on what seemed to be the perfect day to be outside. We went to Weaver's Needle. We got to see the lone pine at the top and see the big random thumb looking mountain within the superstition mountains. It was a blast! We could tell that we are getting older though by the pains we felt as we descended back to the car. My knees were aching, Brett's ankles were flaring up and my legs were definitely shaking but it was too great of a hike to think about our deteriorating bodies. We aren't that old yet!!!!!!!!! On the way up we found that we made our own trail up the mountain. This is when I said, "Life is like a mountain, and you can't try to take short cuts cuz you usually go the long way around." We probably did go a little bit more adventurous way but not the long way around for sure. It's fun talking about the philosophies of "life" and what it means to us on these hikes! We look forward to next weekend's hike...
