beautiful day for a hike

We went to Pima Canyon today and our neighbor Jacob came along. The weather was great, the cactus flowers were in bloom and we saw some birds, lizards and a huge green snake.

This dried moss is where water used to be, it looked so weird.

The boys let the Desert Iguana and Earless lizard go today. Now they will be on the search for something else to put in the tank.

Best kiddos in the world.

We took a water and snack break in the shade.

The intensity level the boys get to while lizard searching/catching cracks me up.

Marlee found a stick and made Laun hold on to one end and her the other end. Laun was the engine and she was the caboose. At least it made her hike faster.

Oh wow, so many awesome awesome pictures of this beautiful desert landscape. I seriously cannot believe how grown-up Marlee looks in these pictures. So tall, and so adorable. I love that girl. THe pics of you and Laun are so cute as well. Can't wait to see you again.
