Last Hike

Well, the weather didn't cooperate with us last night, so we went out for Indian food (which was quite good) after a big day of cleaning (for me) and playing outside (for everyone else). This morning everyone woke up early because I had promised them breakfast at Denny's which became everyone's favorite breakfast place when we were in Honolulu last December.

Then, we decided to go for our last hike of this adventure.


And we weren't disappointed!

Sometime during the last couple of days, someone ruined one of the artworks we so enjoyed. Most of the glass shards were in the bottom of a hole in the tree stump. The kids decided to start the work up again and placed what glass pieces they could find.


Michael was adamant that we should visit the teepee again. They made quite a discovery. There was a hidden compartment in the white plastic table. Apparently this teepee is called Camp Six String. There was a sign in sheet inside the table so the kids signed in and dated their visit.


Our final discovery of the hike was these interesting red mushrooms/toadstools which popped up overnight.


We're now back in Phoenix where we're planning a nice swim and a light supper. The kids seem extremely happy to be home. I am too, although the amount of work I have to do to get this house back together seems daunting! I'm sure I'll spend the next few hot weeks/months dreaming of a cool hike at 7000 ft!
