Sunday Morning Hiking!

We went to the top of Meridian today and trekked off on an unknown trail. There are lots of trails that start out there, so we just picked one. We found out later this is part of the Mountain Pass trail, but we just figured we would hike for awhile and then turn back. The wildflowers are still blooming and it is just beautiul in the morning!
We saw lots of lizards on our hike sunning themselves on rocks. Maddie loves watching them run off into the bushes and tells Dada everytime she hears one.
We hiked about 2 miles in and found a mountain to climb to the top of. The breeze felt fantastic after hiking in the Arizona sun for a couple of hours.
Here is our trail guide having a reflective moment.
Me & Maddie... and some of the rocks she collected along the way.
Our little extreme hiker konked out on the way back. Don't worry, her eye isn't really pressed up against the canopy string - it's just the angle of the camera. She loves her backpack. She is definitely riding in comfort back there.

You guys are so outdoors-y and fun, and may I say you are looking quite slim these days? Tyler is so jealous of Maddie and her fun parents. Miss you guys!
