San Tan Mountain Park

We drove out to Queen Creek on Saturday to see Rachel and Tom and do a little desert hiking. Rachel couldn't go. She used that "I'm giving birth in 2 weeks" excuse.

Here we all are at the top of Goldmine Mountain.


This is the view of the valley from up there.


Simone had no trouble getting up to the top but froze on the really rocky part on the way down. I had to pick her up and pass her over some particularly jagged rocks to Tom who carried her the rest of the way to safety (really jagged rocks not shown).

The three of us on a cloudy day in Papago Park.


And this is the succulent garden Barry planted just before Christmas while he was waiting for Cécile to come home.

We spent Christmas day hiking Spur Cross trail in Cave Creek.
Nice day.
