We're ready to go! Ian and I wave at the bottom of the trail at South Mountain Park.
Paul and Laurel enjoy the city view from the top of the trail.

Fighting For French Fries
"I'll get that French Fry," contemplates Ian."A quick Miss Piggy kick in her chops should do the trick," he thinks out his move.
"Hi-ya!"
A master of martial arts, baby Laurel instantly reacts with a quick backhand strike."Hi-ya!"
Ian quickly grabs Laurel's hand and snatches the coveted French Fry."Hi-ya!"
Laurel screams bloody murder over her loss, "Waaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaa-aaaa!!!!!"
Laurel's sad cries soften Ian's heart. He shares the fry with his sister.
Sweet siblings savor shared success.

Love the play-by-play description! Too cute!
Love the kids being carried by the parents....Ian must weigh as much as you!! You're so tiny!!
Love the descriptions/pictures of the Fry Fight!! And, the matching car seats are great :)
You guys are in good shape! I don't think I'd be able to hike with Q on my back.
OMG - that so reminds me of me and my brother!! Love the play by play in pictures..too cute!!
Are you endurance training? Is that why little you gets the big kid and big him gets the little one??
Fry Fight was too funny. Glad you raced for your camera and let them sort it out. Much more fun for the rest of us that way!
Lol, that's funny! Next time maybe you could get two fries! Of course, if they are anything like my kids, they will fight about it anyway! Looks like you guys had fun on your hike!
How cute! You know what, in that top photo, when I first looked at it I could have sworn I saw Ian making the "I love you" sign like some surf-rock dude!
Love it!
They are so sweet!
And I love the pics of you hiking! Hiking is one of my passions. Looks like an outstanding place to go!
You guys Rule!!!
What a great adventure with two amazing parents!!!
I was waving right back at you!
That looks like a lot of fun . . . even the fry fight.

OMG the fry fight was hysterical!!
The hiking trail looks so awesome. I remember hiking out there when I went to a conference in Phoenix. I'm jealous.
It always looks like you guys have lots of fun!!!!!
Very sweet and cute~ I'm glad they worked it out in the end! LOL! What a big brother he will be!
