Mount Lemmon

We have been in Tucson for 18 months and I have never been up Mt. Lemmon. So after taking his dad back to the airport, Mario took my parents and the family up to Mt. Lemmon. The kids (and grandparents) had fun climbing the rocks.

We weren't prepared (or dressed) for what we found at the end of the road (27 miles up the mountain.) Fortunately, Grandma braved the cold to get pictures and play with the kids.

We stopped at the small General Store on the way out. They told us that there are 38 people living on the mountain and it is 40 miles to a grocery store. I couldn't imagine driving into town each day to take Eric to seminary next year. So I guess we won't be moving up there anytime soon. We did enjoy some yummy fudge that we bought at the small store. It was a beautiful drive and was pleasant enjoy Arizona scenery without cacti.
