Happy Poppa Day!

Happy Poppa Day to all the wonderful dads out there … and to our poppas especially. We’re so lucky to have such great male role models in our lives and we appreciate all that they do for us … whether it be laying  cork flooring or tearing out tree stumps. Hugs and kisses to our poppas!

Today we went for a hike in the Saguaro National Park East with my parents. It’s a really nice walk, but it got pretty hot towards the end. We then had a nice brunch at The Good Egg. Yum!

I’d say today was the first day that it was legitimately too hot to be outside during the day. We have the theory that summertime here is like wintertime back in the midwest – you just don’t go outside. But when it’s sunny outside, you feel a little guilty taking a nap or reading a book. Walk outside though, and you get over it pretty fast.

Day Trip to Saguaro

To resolve wasting a day off of work Elyse and I set off to Saguaro National Park (Rincon) today to soak up some sun, enjoy the vistas, and work off a few calories.  From the Loma Verde trailhead we did an easy 3 mile loop .  It’s hard to believe that we have lived in Tucson for nearly 2 years and have just now started to enjoying this treasure.  We will definitely be making a habit of it.  Feel free to hit up our flickr account for a few photos of from the hike.
