27 March 2010 Springtime FInally!!

A few weeks ago we went down to Mesa to go to the Temple, it was closed because of the Easter Pagent and cleaning, and on the road we took this picture of a traveling dentist and we immediately thought of Nathan. You will need to make the picture bigger to see the writing on the trailer. What a great way to see the country or state! Who knows, Nate, this could be in your future? We just hung out in Phoenix and the next day we decided to go and see some of the local parks right around Camp Verde.




Our first stop was Montezuma's Castle. We had not actually been there since we had moved here so it was lots of fun. It still amazes us how people could have lived in these dwellings.


It was nice to see the creek running and the beginnings of spring. Some of the trees were beginning to bud and it was great to just have nice weather and be out enjoying it.

We love to take pictures of trees. They can be so unique and this one was no exception.



Next we went down the road a little ways and went to Montezuma's Well. This should bring back some memories for Katie and Nate. They both had field trips here. Sam and Ben went with me and Aunt Doe just after we had moved down here. Do you all remember? Jake I am not sure you ever went but I hope you did. If not it would be a great place to take your family sometime.

This is the trail that goes down below the well.


We had a great time and hope to start doing more adventures as the weather gets warmer.

sam and i have a slighty different memory there....we took a row boat across the well and hiked our way up and out the other side (we may or may not have climbed in the windows of the dwellings) then we got caught....not only is this all not allowed....it's illegal to enter a state park after hours

I keep asking Jake to take me there but he doesn't like Indian ruins. He still hasn't gone to Mesa Verde. You'll have to take us.
