Hiking Brown Canyon

December 28, 2011
Sierra Vista, AZ 
The Brown Canyon hiking crew!  Papa Bear, Hallie, Carson, Keira, Karlie and yours truly behind the camera!
We started with a hike to the Brown Canyon Ranch House!  If you look closely you can see the four kids in the distance that took off without us!
The weather was perfect for a hike!
We made it to the old ranch house.  This house was built back in 1905!
Karlie and Keira tested out the kitchen inside the house!  Girls will be girls!
The pond out behind the ranch house.
The stinky outhouse!
Crazy Karlie! 
Papa Bear out by the corrals!

Keira and I on the trail!  It felt great to hike for the first time after having Kobe a month earlier!  I was sore the next day!
Papa Bear and Keira.
The view as we hiked up!  I love southern Arizona.
These two cousins are quite the little hikers!  They practically ran the trail!
Look at Carson go!
The Brown Canyon hiking crew in action!
Papa Bear and four of his grandchildren!
Yours truly with the hiking kids.
Carson and Hallie found this cool tree to climb!
Having fun climbing!
Carson loves to be outdoors exploring!
It's hard to believe that one year earlier my dad had just  had hip replacement surgery and could barely walk!  And now he is back to walking, biking or hiking several miles every day!
Heading home!  What a great time we had hiking in beautiful southern Arizona.  Thanks, dad!
