Camping Trip

Aron was a natural on our recent weekend trip to Mt. Charleston. You'd have thought he slept in a tent every night! He loved to crawl in and wave to us, "Hi, Mama, Hi, Dada!"
We had an amazing time in the beautiful outdoors. We saw a small herd of wild horses, lots of birds and chipmunks and really enjoyed breathing in the fresh air. Our 6mile hike of Bristlecone Trail was one to remember! Especially when someone takes a nap through 75% of the trek and the other two hikers have to take turns carrying 24lbs of dead weight. But that person shall remain nameless.

AWESOME

July was a busy and fun month for Aron. He turned 20 months old and we are just in awe of how much he has grown and changed in less than two years! He had a great time with his Mammaw during her week here with us. Of course she came bearing gifts and the Thomas the Tank Engine toy was enough to keep her at the top of Aron's favorite people list! Aron is talking and singing all the time and learning to count! We love to hear him say new words or phrases. The other day, Rudy came home and I was in the middle of preparing dinner. He said, "Wow, it smells awesome in here!". Aron emphatically said, "AWETUM!" These are such sweet days!

We Love Mt. Charleston

A 45 minute drive is a small price to pay for fresh air, cooler temperatures and an amazing view! Mt. Charleston is a nearby escape to the mountains which we enjoyed last week while Mammaw was here for a visit. Aron had a great time hiking with Daddy, tossing pinecones and rocks into a running stream at Deer Creek and got up close and personal with some hummingbirds at the Mt. Charleston Lodge. We loved it so much we are planning our return: a weekend camping trip later this month!
