Mt. San Jacinto Hike

The kids and I had an amazing Saturday. We were able to ride on a rotating tram up the tallest peak in southern California. The tram is a 10 minute ride and you ascend 2.5 miles. It is INCREDIBLE. Both kids were eyes glued. Sorry no tram pictures, we were all too busy looking out the windows, amazed.

Once we got to the mountain station we had our picnic outside, but Brett was so excited to hiking, he didn't have much of an appetite. Notice how distracted he is in this picture, he is watching other people start on the hike. He was ready to go.


Me and Sissy hiking together, what a happy hiker. They had easy 3/4 mile nature hikes which we did twice. I was proud of Brett for walking that far without being held at all!!

Dantzel enjoying nature, as usual. She was so happy the entire time, even though it was right in the middle of one of her naps.

Brett in the woods. It is so good for little boys to explore and get dirty. He spend a lot of time finding rocks, pine cones, and sticks and throwing them in the water. He told me at the end, "mom, I go hikin' in mornin'" I think he was planning on heading back tomorrow morning.

Brett touching a Jeffrey Pine. These trees are awesome becuase they have a vanillay-butterscotch smell and most importantly they have a GREAT name. We missed Jeffrey so much today... he is working so hard for our family, we love him for it.
