Hiking the Sandias

We went for a little hike last weekend in the Sandias. I was pleasantly surprised how much the kids loved it, which made me think "why have I not been doing this?!" I want to go every week now! It reminded me of when we used to live up in that area and would go hiking up there- such a pretty part of Albuquerque. Pretty you ask? Well it's all relative I guess!

Jace LOVED running down the mountain

...until he fell... about 20 times
Then poor Jace face was walking right in front of me and I saw a cactus next to him, but thought he missed it... nope! The poor kid got cactusized. He had about 20 needles sticking out all over his hand! it looked disgusting! Luckily they came out really easily and were smaller than a pin, so it didn't hurt too bad, and 2 minutes later he was loving it again!

Cactusized!! How sad. Poor guy. Looks like a lot of fun. It's great that you guys are getting outside lots while you can. Has it started to cool off some there?
