September fun

This past weekend Barb, Cely and I spent a carefree and fun day together playing, hiking and eating. The day started with breakfast in Green Mountain Falls, a little town about 10 miles into the mountains. It was sunny, but a little cool and crisp with the smell of fall in the air. We hiked off our breakfast for about 3 hours with little breaks for tree climbing and photo shoots. Afterward, we were on a quest for something sweet and ended up sharing a piece of carrot cake that the waiter said was "half the size of his head"! And worth every calorie!!

Cely gets points for climbing style!

"Would you just throw the stick?!"

My friend, Elissa, was helping me throw the stick for Sedona.

I've never been to a Labor Day party like this one! It was a 50's hip hop theme with root beer floats, games and dancing. There were lots of poodle skirts and saddle shoes. This is Jennifer, my roommate, with Preston, her boyfriend (he stayed in character pretty well that day as Prestina, a 50's girl, but he actually looks much better as a guy!), Elissa, Jennifer's niece, and Olivia.
