Kids, they are one of our greatest assets.

Since we are still waiting on camper repairs  decides to spending a week at Fort Huachuca camping at the base of the mountains. This is a nice Army campground with full hookups outside of Sierra Vista, Az.  I posted in earlier blog about the Fort so will let you reference it for further info.

We have been traveling with the kids for a couple of weeks,  its fun  (they are funny),  exhausting  (I am to slow) and sometime I can't wait for quiet time.  But what we can learn from them! They are witty, candid, open minded, and honest with their thoughts.   Sometimes you are the teacher but often they teach you. I forget, what was that thing, what was the name of something we saw earlier in the day?  No worry the kids remind me,  with all the highlights of the best part of their day!

The first day of spring!  We hiked up  Garden Canyon, talked about the plants and different wildlife and had a picnic lunch along the stream.  Found cougar and deer tracks along the trail and declared ourselves rock hounds. No silly not a type of dog but someone who likes to look for cool rocks! 

Our next day trip was to Fairbank Az which is now a ghost town.  Explored the abandoned buildings and explained the history of the town and area.   We packed our lunch of coarse as there are no fast food places there. 

 Visited the San Pedro House and hiked along the river which is part of the flyway for many migratory birds.  Played under one of the oldest, biggest, coolest cottonwood tree I have ever seen.  We imagined what the Native Americans and early explorers would have been doing right under this same tree! 

What more can I say,  kids make it OK to be a kid!!  I like that...

Enjoy your day!!
