A bunch of pics

These pictures are in no particular order; I will attempt to explain those that seem to need it.

Max, at the Insect Festival, admiring a NASTY tomato worm!  Ick!

Birthday Suprise, he got the Orange Box

Zane got Lego Batman 2 for the Xbox!

By far the best birthday presents where the Swiss Army Knife!  They LOVED them.

 Then  a hearty breakfast of cupcakes, bacon and OJ -- am I the best mom or what??

Here is a snake the boys found in the desert - it was dead, apparently what ever it ate didn't agree with it.  Way cool!!!

Laura...   on our trip to Ohio.  Look at that sweet face, you would never guess she just squeeze that salamader so hard it's guts came out!!!

Here we are on a hike through the woods behind the Coopers house!  Pretty isn't it?

 

This is NOT OHIO!  Blooming cactus!

Perry graduates from the U of A!! Yeah Perry!

The Guinea Pigs!

Max, working on his shark disection.

Now working on the squid (note how far Zane is sitting from the table)  Goof!!

Gila monster trying to cross the road!  We rescued him, by shooing him off to the side.

Zane attempting to get over the shelf at the climbing gym -- he has it down, I think.

 

The kitchen wall removal and demo team.

 

Liam and his bunnies!  Cute!

Cloudy mornings make for great bike riding days...  look at that hill!  Yahoo.  Way more fun going down than it was coming up.

Dancing in the Rain!!

Undisclosed forest road off Mogollon Rim, where the horses roam and the wild flowers bloom.

Pine Flats campground outside of Sedona.

 

Broken Arrow 4 wheel drive trail.

The Steps:  look at the pink jeep people below -- we were a major tourist attraction.

 

Oak Creek Campground site called Pine Flats.  A boulder ripped down the hillside and crushed this poor guys truck.

 

 

 

The Lava River Cave located North of Flagstaff.  Way CREEPY!  Did not enjoy. 

The cave is a mile deep -- so bring a couple flash lights -- a mile is a long way in the dark and there are lots of knarly rocks and the lava flow is difficult terrain in some spots.  Also remember that the cave is 40 degrees inside, so bring a sweatshirt.
