It takes, Determination, Strength, and Courage… and my Cole and Dale have those 3 special qualities. I am sooo proud as I write this post, Most of you know that I live in the Desert, in our Backyard we can see the Majestic Superstition Mountain. It reaches over 5,000 feet high and is tough hard rugged desert terrain. Well on January 7th, Cole and Dale packed up their gear and thought they would take on the challenge to get to the top. Survival packs along with them, they headed out. My son with such determination would not stop, he just kept pushing and going and going. They found some cool washes, running with water from previous rain. Cole collected rocks along the way, they both took many photographs. As you can see from the Photographs..THEY MADE IT TO THE VERY TOP!!!!!!!! (An 8 1/2 hour hike total) Cole is the youngest boy where we live to accomplish this..soooo They are going to be in our Local Paper!!!! I am so happy for them both, Dale had wanted to make the hike since we moved here, never did he imagine he would be doing it with his 7 year old son. What a memory they will both share.

Love to you all! xoxo- Jules
