We decided to take a drive to see some "cacti" in Arizona. We picked I think the most beautiful day of their trip to do so! We came home from church, packed our lunch and drove about 1 1/2 hrs down towards Tucson to this national park and OH MY GOODNESS, it was breathtaking! So here we're eating our lunch!
I thought this was a very cool looking cactus. The way its' arm grew downward.
This here is a dead cactus. This is what it looks like "inside" of a cactus. SO INTERESTING. They are like several sticks on the inside, and inside the sticks is a spongy type substance that can hold a bunch of water for a year so it keeps alive. NEAT!
Our way of keeping track of "busy boy." :) He LOVED it!
They wanted to see cactus! THEY GOT TO SEE CACTUS! :)
Perspective of out tall some of them are!
ONE of the injuries we experienced throughout our hike. Laine learned that it's not a good idea to "kick" a cactus! :) Yep! He had a NASTY thorn in his big toe!
Taking a rest! :)
Our beautiful hike, to which we almost didn't get back before dark!
Laine & Elizabeth having a heart to heart chat!
Towards the end of our hike. HARD WORK carrying two kids!
Some of the beautiful rocks.
Sweet Elizabeth and the kids.
I thought this picture of our family turned out really well! :)
Our miracles!! Laine, Ezra & Chavalah
Do you think Laine enjoyed his day and hiked hard!?
