Ash Creek trail going up Mt. Graham 11-16-09

We headed up for a hike today on the Ash Creek Trail. It was a glorious day for a hike!
While we were eating lunch by the creek I looked over and saw this little cactus growing out of the rock. What a cute little guy.
Some of the trees were turning and so very pretty.
If you look closely almost in the middle of the picture you can see our new Temple! It will be dedicated next April or May and we are so excited! We just had Sk. Conference and heard from Pres. Keith Crockett who was recently called to be the Gila Valley Temple Pres. We loved his talks (and all the others!)
These pix of the two of us are always a little dorky 'cause for some reason I am elected to set the camera on auto and run for the pose before it clicks. This was such a pretty spot - called Oak Flat we think.

Oak Flat - too bad the pictures don't show just how pretty it was. We hiked forever to reach this spot and just as the hike was getting interesting we had to turn around and come back. We started at 10:40 and returned to the car at 4:30 and were pooped!

We went to Tucson last Thur. and it was fun to spend a little time with Mark, Jme and cute little Isabela who is 2 going on 12! We watched the movie UP with them and in one part she turned around to her daddy and asked "what is going to happen next daddy!?"
