Hiking Old Stamp Mill Trail

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

On Sunday, we decided to head out and enjoy the Lord’s creation by having a picnic by the water and then hiking the Old Stamp Mill Trail at Picacho State Park.  Little did we know that our idea of having a picnic by the water would be foiled by a windstorm. Project 365 – #025 As you can see with this picture of D walking towards us, the wind was really kicking.  We decided to find a more sheltered spot away from the crazy wind to enjoy our lunch.  After lunch, we began our hike.  The cool breeze felt nice…

Exploration and a Hike

Posted in Family, Outdoor Adventures, and Photography

We decided that it would be fun to take Grandma and Grandpa over to an area that we briefly explored before – the water in the desert area.  This time, we wanted to hike up to a mine area that we saw from our parking space near the water.  We had hiked a short way up the road, but this was a chance to really explore and hike up to the top of the hill.

New Years Eve 2010

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

It’s hard to believe that another year has come to an end.  We will be spending our New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day out in the desert.  It seems fitting to be ending 2010 and starting 2011 out camping in the desert and spending quality time together as a family.  We plan on doing some riding and hiking as well as just relax and play games.  I’m taking along some books to get some reading done. It’s suppose to be quite cool in the evenings, so we look forward to having a fire in the evening.  We’re taking along…
