Finally Fall

Today was a beautiful day in Tucson, around 60 degrees and sunny. Mason was so excited when we told him we were going hiking. In the garage, he went to the backpack we carry him in and tried to put it in the car! We went hiking in Madera Canyon on a new trail called Dutch John Spring. It's a lot like the others in that area, shaded by tall oaks with lots of wildlife. We saw deer and water!


Mason saw this log and screamed "Oh! Alligator!" then ran and hid.

Dada trying to show Mason it's just a log, and Mason still hiding.

Snuggling to keep warm.

"Another stick!" Mason is oddly fascinated with sticks right now.

He really wanted to go near the water, but it was too cold. Next warm weekend we'll hopefully go camping there and have lots of time to play.

That jacket goes back to highschool. It was very expensive and a seemingly impulsive unnecessary purchase, however I wear it whenever the weather is cool and I'm on the streets. It's a great windbreaker, not too heavy, and reflective. Now that it is dark in the am, the jacket is especially helpful in preventing a car from running me over. You could see me from space!
