Damn the Heat (title not endorsed by the wife)

High gas prices have stranded us in Phoenix this summer but we finally broke down and took a break from the heat. We drove to Flagstaff and went on a great hike, got rained on, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The little monster gives stink face even though there is nothing else to possibly provide.

8 hours a day in a cubicle does not prepare one for this line of work.

The standard family picture in the meadow couldn't be passed up.

The little monster fits in perfect with all the flowers.

You are SO funny -- "title not endorsed by the wife".

I had no idea Flagstaff was so beautiful! And it's summer! Still green meadows! I'm sure you could find something to do for work up there!! Anyway, what a fun hike!

Loved the pictures - especially Hailey's stink face, with a granola bar in one hand and a graham cracker in the other!

Beautiful family!!

I endorse the title. Flagstaff looks awesome, I'm not so sure about Phoenix.

It is always good to get out of the heat by going to the mountains. Looks like you had a great hike! Hailey is getting so big and is so cute like usual. Any visits to MN anytime? It has been a nice cooler summer here!

Cubicle life is the greatest ever, what are you talking about?

That title is right up Joel's alley...and I love how the baby carrier/backpack is 5x as big as Hailey. Oh the things to look forward to!

Looks like fun! We have no mountains to even take a kinda quick trip to. Hailey is darling, I can't believe how big she is getting. It was fun to see Alex before we left Utah. Come visit sometime.

Hailey is getting so big. I like the backpack pic. We need to get Ryan set up with one of those.
