Hiking with Grammie

 My Mom came for a short visit in mid-June.  Allison and I took a few days off to have fun and play with Grammie.  One beautiful sunny day we headed up to a local recreation area, Mary's Peak.  We drove to the top parking lot and then hiked up to the very top.  It is a rather gentle hike so we pushed Allison to hike it all on her own (despite a few requests to be picked up!).  The wild flowers are gorgeous in this area during mid-June.  And surprisingly enough they only grow in one particular spot, perhaps due to wind and sun exposure (or lack there of)?
 We were so proud of her for making it all the way to the top.  Of course she got to stop 1/2 way up to eat 1/2 of her peanut butter granola bar and then she finished it at the very top while Grammie sent text messages and pictures to Grr.  What a beautiful day in the sun!  We came home and Allison refreshed herself by swimming in our kiddie pool.
