Book Review & A Hike

 

A few days ago we took the boys on a 3.2 mile hike at Usery Park.

It was a gorgeous day, we had a fabulous time.

The desert landscape was breath taking,

I couldn't help but stop often to catch my breath take it all in.

I almost broke my neck a few times trying to hike and take pictures at the same time.

Jaxon was the navigator,

Kimball was of course the jester,

I was the 'friendly hiker'

 and Kade was quite the trooper; he did awesome!

Looks like I've found another hobby...

can't wait to go again.

Arizona is the place to be for spring break!

I finished reading Anna Karenina.

I'm still not sure what I thought of it...

I liked it and couldn't put it down

and yet got so annoyed with it at times

 I had to.

I'm not convinced it's the "best love story of all time" (as many call it),

but I am convinced if I ever thought of cheating

I won't now!

It was a little agonizing to read,

kind of made me want to pull my hair out.

I love a good romance novel but this felt like a Kevin Costner movie...

about 400 pages an hour too long!

I'd love to hear what you thought of the book. Anyone?

I'm now reading Uncle Tom's Cabin,

a classic I've been putting off because I knew it would be a downer.

So far it's gripping but definitely sad.
