Today we went on a family hike to the San Tan Mountains. There were 10 adults and 18 kids all together and we looked a sight... Another hiker even asked us what kind of group we were with and when my sister told him it was just a family he just said, "That's a BIG family!"
Here are some of the kiddos before the hike:
This was our tour guide, my brother-in-law Clayton.
Mila was really upset when we put her in the backpack, but it only took her a few minutes before she was lovin' it.
She was getting to collect walking sticks and rocks just like the big kids.
There were only a few minor setbacks along the way... Leah tripped on a rock and fell, Kaden was getting blisters from his shoes, so he took them off and walked in his socks, and Carter wandered off the path and got stickers in his shoes. Not too bad considering how many kids there were.
Jason wore this backpack with Mila the entire hike and about the last fifteen minutes, I told him that I would put it on... I don't know how he did it!! It was heavy, hot, and it really made your neck and calves hurt. But he did not complain once! He just kept telling everyone he was fine. I bet he's going to be so sore tomorrow...
Leah running in for the big finish...
Maybe next time Clayton will be a little bit easier on us...

He even looks like a dorky tour guide. I thought Eric was crazy when he called and ask if we wanted to go...I thought it would be a huge disaster with that many kids, but it ended up being a lot of fun. We should do stuff like that more often.
4 miles, wow! You have a very cute bunch of cousins. :)
I hate carrying around those backpacks, your husbands a hero!
i think that is an awesome way to spend time as a family!!!
