The Lost Dutchman

Last Saturday, March 14th, we went hiking with our friends the Niederhausers. It was a gorgeous day to spend outside enjoying the beauty of the desert. It took a couple years for me to recognize the desert's beauty (I was quite upset to have to move to such an ugly place), but on our hike I honestly was in awe at how majestic the Superstition mountains looked and the adaptability of the wildlife to thrive under such harsh conditions. Looking out over the valley I was surprised at how the desert moved me. It was so fun to see how much Madison and Jackson enjoyed romping around discovering new plants and animals. Sugar had a great time as well. We had to hold Gavin the whole time since we don't have a carrier, but he had fun too with so much to look at. That evening we ate at The Mining Camp Restaurant where they had killer ribs. All in all, a GREAT day!
