Beautiful Day for a Hike!

This morning the whole fam went out to the east side of the Sandia Mountains for a hike along the Bill Spring Trail. We joined a group from work as part of their annual summer exercise challenge. The weather was beautiful, although the humidity was slightly up due to yesterday's rains.

Matt balanced the weight of his water pack on the back by carrying Carter on his front. While the lull of the hike put Carter to sleep for most of it, he was awake for some of the more scenic vistas.

Couple family shots for you, a few shots taken along the hike (a random cactus area and shot of a nice vista showing the Sandia foothills), and finally a shot of the whole group (includes Heidi, Kelly, Marie, Destiny, Ed, Maggie the Dog, Piper the Dog, Ella the Dog, and Richard took the pic for us - he's in the background of the shot with Matt and Carter above).




Amazing that we have such pretty places to hike just 30 minutes from the house, eh? With the monsoon season wrapping up, we'll be able to do a lot more hiking since the weather will start to cool off. Figure we should get Carter to love the outdoors as much as us as soon as possible, right?

Have a wonderful night!
