I promise I won't post anymore hiking pictures after this.

Rachel sucks at computers. Bottom line. She'll be the first to tell you. That's why I'm so proud of her for taking the big step of attaching pictures to an e-mail for the first time in her life! Congratulations Rachel! Maybe today she'll figure out how to comment on my blog. Lord bless her.

Here's what she sent me. This is us being witches at Halloween.


This is us before we set off on the Squaw Peak hike. No this picture was not taken by a very short desert creature, we put it on a rock and thought it was centered. Oh sweet innocent pre-hike Erica, there's so much I wish I could warn you about, and yet...I cannot.


More hiking. These next few are quite entertaining all in a row because Zach took these without our knowledge while we were looking for a fellow hiker to take a picture of the four of us. It explains why we look handicapped.





Rachel very focused on retrieving her granola bar (five minutes into hike).


The boys being introspective. Chad: "I hope I can get my fifty dirtbike fixed soon." Zach: "I wonder when Chad is going to get the parts for his fifty dirtbike." Chad and Zach: "I should go buy Jackass 2."


Way back from our girls Christmas par-tay.
