Botanical Gardens

 Daniel and I decided to go to the Botanical Gardens yesterday morning. We got up early to beat the heat. It was so nice and peaceful with the birds chirping and just walking around enjoying the nature! It's amazing how Heavenly Father has made this earth so beautiful in so many different ways! Even in a barren desert like Arizona there are so many beautiful things!

 Greetings! 

 If you look closely there's a lizard sunning himself in the tree!

 14 year old tortoise that they had walking around.

 We love nature!

 

In the butterfly house! 

 I got a little hitchhiker and Daniel was quick enough to snap a picture! 

So many cool cacti!! 

Daniel did not want to be the butterfly for some strange reason.... haha 

The Lord Family Came to Visit!

 A couple weeks ago Daniel's family came to visit!! We are so lucky to have such great families and love when they can visit!! We were able to do some fun things with them such as going to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple, going out to eat, playing games, and going on a nice hike up Camel Back. It was a really good week!

Everyone but Jeff hiking Camel Back. 

 A helicopter flew around the top of the mountain while we were on the top. 

Daniel and I at the top! We made it!

Daniel's parents made it to the top too!

 The beautiful Arizona landscape!! 

We love our families!!! Thanks for coming to visit!!
