On the way to Hermits Rest Trail, our route into the canyon.

Near Santa Maria Spring. The views really opened up.

Almost back to the top. Going down was so much easier!

Sunset at Mohave Point. A wonderful finish to a wonderful day!

Art Class

Daddy and Luc created this duck hat at a libray art class for toddlers. Really, it was Daddy picking up Luc's hand to glue everything together. Daddy and Claire have completed many of Luc's art projects.

Ballerina Claire

Claire enjoyed taking a ballet class this summer, but was not too keen on the fairy wings!

Daddy cleaned out half the basement to create some scooter riding space.

I gave my trike to my brother, but his feet don't reach the peddles! Maybe this summer...

Love these colorful blocks that Santa brought!

Nothing is sacred anymore! Luc can sit at my table now!
