Spencer's Hikes
Ever since we moved here Spencer has wanted to hike Mt. Eldon. We live in between Mt. Eldon and a small hill called Sheep Hill. Travis made a deal with Spencer that after they hike Sheep Hill (the smaller of the two) five times they would hike Mt. Eldon. We also have AZ's tallest mountain here in Flag, Humphrey's Peak which is 12,633 ft. Spencer hadn't expressed any desire to hike that one until just the other day when he was telling Travis "Dad, we have to hike Sheep Hill one more time, then Mt. Eldon 5 times, then Mt. Humphrey 5 times, then we're done hiking. Whew!!!" I guess when you put it that way it sounds like a chore, but he loves to go hiking with his dad. Travis rigs a caribeaner, some rope and other cool paraphernalia to really play the part of adventurers. Spencer really digs it! He even asked for a real harness for Christmas.

Spencer, you are quite the hiker! It would be fun to go on a hike with you! Maybe we can come to Flagstaff the next time you hike Sheep Hill...that way we can get in shape with you! :)
