More Arizona memories

Spaghetti pirate

SMORES!!!

"I Made FIRE!" (can you hear Tom Hanks in Castaway).

Only I had little keyhole which turned on the natural gas, oh and a lighter.

One of my parent's neighbors let us use his golf cart for a ride around the retirement community.

I took Caedon with me on this beautiful sunset photo opt. Within a 20 second span, Caedon explored under a rock that revealed a lizard beneath it. We both jumped. Call us city slickers. Then he managed to get a burr stuck to his bare ankle with no cactuses within 50 feet of us. It turned out to be a REAL adventure.

We took a day trip to the Superstition mountains and Canyon Lake, about an hours drive from my parents house. I thought it would be fun to see some mountainous scenery. Change it up from the never-ending desert, you know. It was spectacular!

We found the rundown gift shop on the outskirts of the mountains. It was managed by this disheveled old man and his equally disheveled dog. Kinda creepy, but good for a memory and some 25 cent postcards

Norah's favorite thing to do at the park

Caedon had so much fun on the teeter-totter.

He kept asking me to bounce him up so he would fly in the air.

We ate at this Mexican restaurant one night. Norah was hamming it up with Jen's sunglasses.

We were treated to an amazing sunset on the way home from the restaurant

MORE SMORES!! This one got a little burnt

That's better!

This is the funniest story of the weekend. While concentrating on not burning the smores, Norah snuck behind us and grabbed a graham cracker for herself...

...After we tried to explain to an eighteen month old the concept of eating a warm smore of the campfire, she snuck behind us again and grabbed a block of chocolate. She earned the nickname Smoreburgler.

We made smores almost every night, per Caedon's request

That's a happy face, post-smoredom

One last fire before we head back to MN

We got these neon glowing bracelets at Wally-World (Wal-Mart) for a buck.

Kinda a hit on the last night in AZ.
