Ellie's First Hike

It has been beautiful lately so we decided to go on a hike. Actually Hayden and I wanted to go, and Savannah and Ellie were to stay home. Savannah has always said that she hates hiking and does not have any interest in going. Yet the beauty of the day was too tough to pass up so with a bit of pushing and prodding, she begrudgingly agreed to do it, along with Ellie who was excited.

We went to Pinnacle Peak in north Scottsdale. There were a lot of people there even though we got there fairly early. We sunscreened the girls and headed up. Ellie walked about 43 feet. Then she wanted up so Savannah carried her. And carried her. And carried her.

Up a mountain.

It was super impressive. The girls loved it and we stopped every so often to take in the gorgeous views of the area. There are also a ton of boulders on Pinnacle Peak which made for some interesting spots on the trail.

Then Ellie decided she wanted to walk again, and she made it 53 feet this time before falling and skinning her knee. Poor little tyke. So we headed down.

All in all it was a fun day and a great way to get out of the house and get some fresh air.
