I know we haven't been great about posting but there really hasn't been much going on. Keith goes to school, I go to school....and that's about it. We had our first visitor this weekend, however which was a lot of fun. The picture to the right is of Corbin trying to do some push-ups in the living room. Chloe thought he might want to give her a belly rub instead.
The heat out here is really starting to get to us. It's now September and we are still reaching 110 degrees on most days. We wanted to a short hike with Corbin so we drove up to Fla
gstaff to get out of the heat yesterday. We went to Strawberry Crater, which is a dormant volcano. It wasn't nearly as hot in Flagstaff as in Phoenix, but we did the hike in the middle of the day so it was very sunny (no shade along a volcano) and the temperatures were probably in the low 90s. One difference about the climate in Flagstaff: the breeze actually felt cool! In Phoenix, a breeze feels like someone opened the oven door and all the hot air is hitting you. It's not very pleasant. The picture to the left is Keeper and Corbin on the first part of the hike. We were pretty much going up the side of the crater. It was steep and not easy footing. My feet kept sinking in the cinders/rocks from the volcano. The views from the top were a
mazing (as you can see). Chloe and I were glad it wasn't a long hike, as we had done some running early Sunday morning (6 miles for her, 12 for me); we got tired pretty easily. We got back to Phoenix last night and I had a pretty low-key evening, while Keeper and Corbin painted the town red once Corbin's friend got in (late) from San Diego. Today we caught a D'backs game, and not a very good one at that. They lost 10-2 to the Padres. 
Tomorrow is back to the grind for all of us. I start pre-season soccer practice after school. I'm sure 110 degrees will feel very refreshing at 2:30pm on the soccer field. Corbin flies back to Brooklyn tomorrow and Keeper goes back to class.
