A Break from Summer

Today we went hiking. You might be thinking "are you crazy? Isn't it a bajillion degrees there?!" Yes it is. In Tucson it is a million degrees, but in the Catalina mountains it is significantly cooler. In fact, our car thermometer claims the temperature to have gotten as low as FIFTY TWO DEGREES at the summit of Mount Lemon. It was Heavenly! It's all pine trees up there, we even stumbled upon a ski resort! Well, a single chair lift and one restaurant (no public bathrooms, those monsters.) It takes about an hour to drive from our house to the tippy tops of the mountains where it is so pleasantly cool, but I might insist we do it fairly frequently.

Since you wouldn't believe me if there were no pictures, here are a few lovely shots of our short hike. It's a good thing we found a short easy one, baby belly is starting to be a torment to my back!
