6am Pinnacle Peak Hike

Ladies!

Do you want an awesome way to start the day on Saturday? (October 24th)

We want to invite all of you ladies in the Desert Hills RS to an early morning hike up Pinnacle Peak! Terry Pavleick will be leading our hike for us... she goes all the time and will be a great "guide" and also help us get our hearts pumping! The gates open at 6am and Terry recommends to park "inside" the gate, because there have been thefts on cars parking on the street (don't leave anything of value in your car). We will be meeting on the trail-head at 6:00am and leaving to go up the trail at 6:10am.

*** If you want to drag any of your kids/ teenagers/ husbands/ friends up at this hour... please feel free to bring them along, just know that Terry is going to help us PUSH up the mountain!

Hope to see you there!
Desert Hills RS Presidency

Please call Denice Rasmussen with any concerns or questions

Super Saturday is November 14th from 9am-12am. You will also need to get your money in to Jaime in advance so we buy the materials. If you don't have her number, you can post a "comment" and I will get back to you. Please don't hesitate to call any with any questions about what you see.

Pumpkin Patch Monday

Hey, ladies! Since they are out of school, my boys and I are headed to a pumpkin patch in Mesa on Monday at 10:00. It is called Vertuccio Farms--we went there last year and had a blast!

There is a corn maze, a big sand box area with toys, trikes, pedal go-carts in a maze, a tractor that pulls a barrel train (you had to pay more for this, but it was cheap and super fun), a mini maze, swings, and pumpkins (of course). There is also a snack stand (I think they sell hot dogs, candy, and ice cream) and a neighboring farmer's market with fresh produce.

It is $7/person (4 and under are free), but let me know if you are interested in going, because if we have enough, we can get a $5 group rate. There is also a $1 off coupon on the site (http://www.vertucciofarms.com/Coupon.html).

It is located at 4011 S. Power Rd. Mesa, Az 85212. Yes, it takes like 40 minutes to get there, but we had so much fun last time we decided it was worth the trip.

We'd love to have you join us if you are interested! And please pass this along to anyone that I may have missed.
