CAMELBACK

My sister Allison invited me to go hiking with her this morning to Camelback Mtn. What a hurtful, rewarding time it was. I, of course, was a whimp & only made it half way. But, I want to go again & make it to the top some day. It is a tough hike. Allison, of course, "rocks the party" & went all the way to the top. I sat & enjoyed the view while she finished the hike. I busted out my ipod & listened to Mindy Gledhill. How could you not listen to something uplifting when looking at such a magnificent sight? Here's some pics of the fun times:

Here's Allison hiking back down from the top....

The view I watched while waiting for Allison...

Look at all of those blooms...

Now this is just nuts. This is one home. Just a little too "ostantacious" if you ask me. (Thanks Stephenie Meyer for teaching me that big word!) Do you REALLY need a home that big? This isn't even for Bill Gates. CRAZY!!!

That's where we hiked Easter weekend. We also passed that crazy house! I had all three kids, so didn't make it to the top either, but let's go sometime without children!
