Hiking and fun with the Jazayeri's

Garrett had seen a hiking area out off the 67 one day when he was coming home from golf.  So we decided to tackle the hill one Sunday.  The kids were so excited, they love to hike, but when we got there and the path was practically straight up, they weren't too happy.  Here's Ty and Garrett trudging along together.

We passed a few people that said it was quite a hike so we walked only so far up, took some pictures on a hill top...

and called it quits.  After we sat and had some gummies of course. :)

Getting silly on the way down.

The Jazayeri's came to visit!  Tatum was sad she couldn't invite her BFF Mattie to her birthday party so she wanted her to come over for a slumber party over her birthday weekend.  After the Jazayeri's enjoyed the zoo, they came over for some fun.  We went straight to the winery, as we usually do, and enjoyed lots of laughs.

We brought our new bocci ball set we bought at a garage sale and had lots of fun out in the back field.  This was a Saturday so no music was playing but no one seemed to mind.

The boys won the girls of course, but we were way cuter. :)  The kids brought a soccer ball and enjoyed running around.  It's a great place to get the wiggles out.

The next day we decided to try another hike.  We drove through some pretty amazing, palatial houses off the 56 to a dead end and a trail.  The trail took us out into a canyon where a lot of bikers mountain bike.  We had to climb down some hills and watch out for bikers, but as we did, we saw lots of wild animals like hawks, a snake, beetles and ducks.  We got down to this pond and could see animals popping their heads out of the water.  We don't know if they were turtles or fish.  The kids thought it was pretty neat.

Mattie and Sadri checking it out.

Garrett and Tatum staying hydrated.

Lots of fun on this hike and a great time with our wonderful friends.
