Mt. Lemmon picnic

Last weekend we went up the mountain to enjoy a nice fall picnic where it actually felt like fall. It seems like it worked well to bring fall to Tucson because last week we've had highs in the 70s. So nice. We really enjoyed the pine trees and cooler air.
Rachel really enjoyed the dirt and the pine cones on the ground and hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Knight. She also really enjoyed walking on her little log path stepping from one to another:
She took Grandma and Grandpa on several mini-hikes to explore the area.
She also enjoyed some hide and seek.
Counting for hide and seek: She counts really well 1-20, but ALWAYS skips 16. Who needs 16 anyway? (We just got Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, and he also skips 16--must be a rather unpopular number, I guess.)
Rachel also ate her fair share of Snickerdoodles.
Snickerdoodles are my favorite! I also ate my fair share. And Jacob's fair share, since he couldn't have the gluten-ized cookies. Someone's got to step up and take one for the team. I'm just glad it could be me. :)
