An AZ Hike

The only pictures I have from our time in AZ are from a hike we went on. We went through a cactus forest of sorts. It was really quite cool.


The cactus were everywhere and some of them were kinda crazy and/or ginormous.

Check out this sucker:



Miles and my Grandma enjoying a snack.







That's right, folks, my 88 year old Grandma went hiking with us. I was BLOWN AWAY at how amazing of a hiker you can be when your 88.



One of those irresistible things of this earth: dirt.


Some scenery:










I could totally imagine some of the cactus coming to life. They kind of look like they could be cactus people to me:

And this one would just have lots of arms...

A dead cactus:


Did you know cactus are all wood inside? I didn't! Learn something new every day, don't we?

Sure was a good time in AZ! We played, we swam in the hot tub, we ate at In-n-out, went to baseball game and ate a hot dog. Only one funny story is coming to mind all these weeks later, so that's all you're going to get.

Here she is:

When we were driving from CA to AZ we went by the smelliest cows of all time on all the earth. It was dark so we didn't see it coming and couldn't do a preemptive recirculation of our air. So it REEKED for a good (miserable, actually) 10 minutes at least. In the midst of my dying from the stench Miles said in a somewhat disgusted voice, "Who's poop comed in the car?" Haha! Funny. See ya!

Sunny and Fabulous

Hello blog. So we meet again. Been busy.

Waaaay back when, Miles and I went on a little big trip to AZ and CA. We saw my brother and his family, my BFF, and my sister and family in CA. It was sunny and fabulous. And if it's sunny and fabulous, you'd might as well be naked.



Spectacular hand/fist placement.


Sheer joy.

My sister was a trooper and took her adorable twins to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. It was tubular. I like it there.


Seriously, if I ever want Miles to shut up, I could just hand him a map.

The map was nearly as interesting as the zoo itself.

The gorillas were pretty fun to watch-- eating their lunch and all.


Purdy cute little dude.

We went to the bird show:





A helmet on a bird?

Roar.



Pretty sure this vulture wants to eat you.


Where the animals live. Pretty cool if you ask me!
