Hike to Wind Cave

While visiting Mesa, Arizona we took advantage of a cooler morning to hike up to Wind Cave. Don't get me wrong, it was still plenty warm on the hike.



The landscape was different than we were used to, which made it exciting.




The beauty of the flowers amidst the thorns.




We even witnessed our FIRST rattlesnake living in the wild.



Yes, this is not what I usually think of when the word "cave" is spoken, but it did provide some shade and a windy breeze- hence Wind Cave.

Mesa Easter Pageant

This Easter break we travelled down to Mesa, Arizona to attend the Mesa Easter Pageant put on by the church. We enjoyed it very much! (But Noah is never happy standing next to Joshua.)

We had time to play some games before the show started.


Valesca and Josh pose with a Roman Guard.

Definitely warmer in Arizona than here!

Fat Cats




By no stretch of the imagination are we competing on the Pro Bowling Tour, but we did have fun letting Brad win.

Eagle's Nest

Today was the first opportunity that Joshua had to sit in the Eagle's Nest at a Court of Honor. (Sorry the picture is blurry...had to zoom in from across the room.)

Our NEW shelves

Here you can see some of the new shelves that Brad constructed for our storage room. This is actually just one side (the front). The back shelves are twice as deep. These are the front shelves a few days after completing them--ALL FULL! This is where all of that STUFF was before...food and non-food mixed together.
This is what it looks like now- just extra food (and toilet paper). I am very grateful for a husband who can put these together in just a week or two.
