Tucson, AZ


I managed to get up at 5:30am to go running with Mindy and a couple of friends. I felt a little out of shape for running but it felt good to get my heart rate up. We convoyed up to the mountains and spent the morning hiking around a place called Mount Lemmon. There were lots of great trails and all the boys in our group scouted ahead to lead the way. The kids did awesome and set a pretty good pace. We ate lunch under the shade of the pine trees and enjoyed cool mountain air. The drive back included stops along the way to see giant cactus at the Saguaro Nation Preservation park and a playground that featured water springing out of the ground. Jared made an authentic Spanish paella for dinner and I put a Trifle together as per a request from Justin. It was a lot of fun.
