Keeping up... not catching up!

I have made a new resolve to keep up with the blog thing! So yesterday we went on another hike in Sabino Canyon. We went with our friends Amber and Scott, and had a lot of fun. We decided that it is probably our last one there until the weather cools down. We are going to have to move our hiking to Mount Lemmon. Mount Lemmon is always like 25-30 degrees cooler at the top than Tucson is. It is a summer haven! Anyways, the desert was still beautful. All of the cacti are blooming right now and there is still a lot of green plants. Steve became Mr. Artistic and took like a million nature photos, but I have to give him credit a lot of them turned out really cool. I survived this hike much better than the last one. Probably because we were only there for about 2 and half hours!

So I realize there are going to be a lot of pictures but I just want you all to know that Arizona can be pretty if you see it the right way!

This time I decided to just bring frozen ice packs to keep myself cool. It turned out to be a great idea! I was much more pleasant this hike!

We saw a ton of these little lizards running around. Steve wanted to catch one and bring it home but was afriad they were poisonous. We when got home we looked them up and found out they are called collered lizards, and they aren't poisonous. Upon finding that out, Steve has decided that collered lizard would be his pet of choice and keeps asking me if we can get one!
