Fall Break

We were lucky enough to get a little break from school this weekend...our fall break was Saturday through Tuesday - ASU was so kind to go ahead and still give us the weekend off! But either way it worked out that we actually got to go camping for a night! But before I go on about that, we also went to the Komen Race for the Cure on Sunday with my family! We did a three mile walk in the morning to support breast cancer. It was fun to walk and spend time with my family, and the bag full of free granola bars didn't hurt!

All of us at before the three miles! There was a TON of people there! 

At the finish line! It had definitely gotten hot by then - it's October but still about 75 in 

Arizona and that was still in the morning!

We walked in celebration of my Aunt Elaine who is currently fighting breast cancer and almost done with her surgeries and everything after finishing chemo, she is so strong and we pray for her fast recovery! And in memory of my Grandma who we love and miss so much.

After the race we were able to spend the rest of the day with the whole Hunter clan and made amazing caramel apples! It was a busy and fun day for us all!

Then Monday was camping! JP had been wanting to go camping since who knows when so we finally went when we had a break! We went up Monday afternoon and camped for the night. It was fun and relaxing to just get away and be together. And we made really good tin foil dinners that we cooked over the open fire - we were pretty proud of ourselves!

Of course JP loved being in the forest and building us a fire!

After dinner it got pretty cold and dark so we just decided to go into our new tent and watch the stars. It wasn't the most comfortable night's sleep but we made it through! Next time we are definitely getting a sleeping pad because 5 blankets still don't smooth out all the rocks!After breakfast we decided to pack up a little earlier than planned so we could still have some time to see a movie before doing some last minute homework! It was a short trip but just enough to get away and enjoy nature. But now it's back to school for JP and a girls trip for me on Thursday!
