Mt. Lemmon

Yesterday we said goodbye to Grammy Harriet after she spent a week visiting us here in Tucson. One thing that Grammy said she wanted to do was go up to Mt. Lemmon. It's a great place to go to get out of the Tucson heat (yes, it's still in the high 90s and sometimes triple digits). We packed a picnic lunch and Sophie's potty and headed out for the day. The girls had a great time exploring the foreign surroundings: pine cones, tree stumps, shiny metallic rocks and sticks for digging. After our picnic we headed to the top of the mountain to check one of the gift shops. The girls got to pick out enough polished stones to fill a little bag, and both Andy and my mom found some other gifts and treats to bring home. It was a beautiful day, but I have to admit that I was quite cold in the 70 degree air up there! Next time I'd like to bring food to grill - for eating and for keeping warm!
