Thunderbird Conservation Park

We continue to explore our new place.  There is a park about 15 minutes north of us we decided to check out yesterday.  

We had beautiful views of the Phoenix Temple for most of the hike.  There were quite a few people on the trail too.  The day and the weather were perfect.  
Wesley continues to be a great hiker and got incredibly dusty.  He loves to climb on all the rocks.  We did have an incident where a dog passing us sneezed.  Wes is scared of all dogs, regardless of size, and the sneeze was quite traumatic for him.  He had Gil carry him for quite a bit while he calmed down.
We made it to the top of the peak and had a lovely 360* view including the Phoenix valley.  

My pregnancy carpel tunnel is starting to get a little uncomfortable but is still manageable.  With this pregnancy, I've had some pain in my lower abdomen.  Usually it's also manageable.  I did just fine on this short 2.5 mile hike.  Gil drove us home, I stood up out of the car and couldn't take another step.  I could not lift my legs.  Whatever muscles/tendons/ligaments in your lower abdomen you use to lift your legs screamed in pain.  Dear, wonderful husband of mine got Wes in the house then came back and helped me.  I hobbled around the rest of the day and am still hobbling a bit today.  A friend recommended a pregnancy belt but my tummy's not big enough for it to hold and lift anything.  We'll have to find other ways to adventure if I want to be able to walk afterwards.
