Next stop- Arizona!
Our trip from California to Arizona was nice and short, for a change! It only took us 5-6 hours to get there. We did lots of fun things with Nana and Jim while we were there; we went bowling, the kids spent every evening in the hot tub, we took a nice walk, and made an ice cream stop. At one point, while we were in the car, Jaelin said she was thirsty. I told her we'd get some water when we got there so she says, "ok, well I'm just going to drink the stuff in my mouth." What? Your spit?? "Yeah..."
During this bowling trip we reinforced the fact that Ayden is super competitive, and Jaelin is happy as long as she has a snack machine close by.

The desert tortoise's are a big highlight at Nana's house. I believe she has 6 in all. Papyon is the oldest and the largest. Depending on what time of year we visit, we could find him hibernating in the guest bathroom behind the potty. They all roam around, think they're dogs, and eat out of the palm of your hand. 
English teacher Nana isn't following directions...geesh! heehee!! They're going to go check out the red tailed hawk and her nest of babies. This area used to be desert until they put asphalt down for vehicles to be parked during the US Open. Gotta love priorities...
Ayden checking out the bird's nest. We didn't find anything there because they were hanging out with their mama a few trees down.

Me and my babes
It's crazy how something this beautiful has been invaded by a parking lot that's used once a year. Little did we know, the daddy hawk was VERY close, watching me from another tree. Come to find out, they are very protective! 
Our DQ visit. Nana was kind enough to drive us around to "sight see" on the way there. I bet Jaelin $100 that she couldn't eat her whole blizzard, and she tried so hard that I think she got a little queasy. She ate about $60 worth...sorry honey, that wasn't the deal! :) We had a wonderful time on our visits while heading east! We're so lucky to have such a remarkable family!
