Alton Turns 4 yo!!! (8/20/13)

Alton's Birthday turned into a 4 day celebration. It started out with a birthday hike (per his request) to some nearby petroglyphs. We left early Saturday morning, but boy was it HOT!  If fact, a little over half way there, we had a family council to see who wanted to proceed. The firms decided to march on and then the boys ended up coming to meet us. The were all soooo glad that they made it and thought it was one of the coolest places ever! Yeah for not giving up!!!!
Love how you can see the whole mountain behind us.
Now you can see Kinley a little better in this picture.
Alton distracted by throwing rocks and Hunter coming up to meet us girls.
Alton and Steven!
They all had their own camelbacks full of water and treats.  They have really become quite the hikers.
Alton getting tired and wanting to be carried.
Hiker Hunter!
Hunter helps the girls open the gate. Such a gentleman.
Beautiful Kailyn!
Steven had fun telling the kids about the lost gold mine in the Superstition Mountains. The kids were determined that they were going to find it.
Alton!
Hiker Kailyn!
Girls hiking up.
Getting closer to the petroglyphs. Yeah!
We made it to the petroglyphs!  Everyone was sooooo happy!!!!
Does anyone have a Kleenex?
Exploring the petroglyphs. There were thousands of tiny frogs everywhere. Super fun for the kids to see.
Can you see any petroglyphs?
How about now?
Hiker Alton. 
Can't believe he is already 4 yrs old!
On the way back down, this branch decided that it wanted Hunter's hat. He thought that was hysterical!

On Alton's actual birthday, Steven took him to do one of his favorite sports, golf!!! I just love looking at these pictures!
He and daddy have their own golf clubs (thanks to garage sales. Smiles)!
