Hiking in Cave Creek




We went hiking in Cave Creek on Labor Day. It was pretty warm (102), so we didn't go as far as we would have liked to. On the way down the mountain, we met two girls who took their dog with them to hike. They had already hiked several miles and the dog was exhausted and wouldn't go any further once she found a patch of shade. Upon closer examination, the pads on the bottom of her front paws were raw and shredded. Needless to say, we had to help because there was no way the dog could walk any further and the girls couldn't carry her down the mountain by themselves. Caleb, Myah and myself headed down to the car to get our emergency kit and Rob stayed behind to help carry the dog down. Rob carried the dog (all 100lbs of her) the rest of the way down the mountain to the parking lot.


My hero
- plus it's always nice to know that if something happened to me while hiking, Rob would at least be able to drag my sorry self down the mountain for help. lol

Oh.....Myah's getting so big! What a cutie! Any plans for the big birthday next month?

1st grade! First graders are the best (except the 25 I have this year :-) ) Wow Caleb, way to go!

We hope you are all doing well and hope we can get together soon!

Kuddos for hiking in this heat! I can barely make it to my car these days!
