Coronado Monument

The early part of April the kids and I went to Arizona to visit David while he is away at school. While we were there, we went for a hike (one of Grace's favorite pasttimes) to the Coronado Monument. It was a half mile up - and I mean UP!


I love the sign here - there is a lot of illegal smuggling (of people) here as it is in a mountainous area right on the Mexico border, and the sign informs you to be cautious and to be aware of your surroundings at all times. They also suggest that you not be in the area after dark.







Grace of course was our leader. She loves hiking and is always up for an adventure. Once we reached the top, we had a gorgeous view of southern Arizona and Mexico.





























Tristan decided it was time to take a break and play in the dirt...








All in all it was a good trip, and we enjoyed getting to explore a little bit of Sierra Vista, which will become our new home in June.

Thank you so much for the clothes!! It is such a huge help. Emma loved going through the box and looking at them all! Her favorites are the dog & pig PJ's. She wants to wear them all day. It was so great of you guys to think of us!!
