This week Eric and Mario were supposed to attend Scout camp at Mount Lemmon. The camp is within an hour of our house. Due to all the fires in AZ, the Mountain was closed and the boys had to travel 5 hours up to Flagstaff and join another council's camp.
My friend, Rachelle, has a timeshare up in Pinetop, so we decided to take the kids on a little vacation while Mario and Eric are away. But then Mario decided Pinetop sounded like more fun than boys camp and so he decided to bounce back and forth between the two. Pinetop is a nice break from Tucson. It's cooler and much prettier. The desert landscaping gets old quickly! Unfortunately, they have closed all hiking up here too because of fire fears. Mario called the front office and they gave him permission to walk in the wood behind the lodging. So the boys got to go on a little hike. Mario took the kids out on a John boat this morning. The battery died, so the owners upgraded them to a Pontoon boat and Erin and Zach stripped down to t-shirts and their underwear and went for a swim. Nate got pushed in so he got a little swim too. My kids are accustomed to ocean swimming so the lake was a little "dirty" for their liking.
