Josh and Jordan's Visit

Last month (July), my brother, his wife, and their kids (Josh and Jordan and Austin and Micah) were able to come down and visit....we had such a great time! They handled the summer heat quite well, I might add!! No burns, no sun stroke....

We tried to take it easy, but still managed to fit in a lot of activity....especially David and Josh who golfed 4 times. The rates are so cheap this time of year, so you've got to fit in all you can!

Ah yes...quintessential Arizona photo ops......

Of course there was plenty of swimming..Micah loved it; I think he enjoyed drinking the water as much as swimming in it!!!

These pictures below are not at our pool...so don't be disappointed if you come to visit....:) There are a couple of city-owned water slide parks near our home...they are great because they are sooo cheap!! Austin was very brave and jumped off the diving board!

And of course we went to Rawhide...After everyone went into the "jail", Hannah and Abigail got "locked" in....Austin wanted nothing to do with that! But he did ride the donkey :)

The Desert Botanical Gardens....you get to see all the crazy cactus and succulents...there are some weird ones! I think this one looks like something out of an old sci fi movie!

Micah next to an "Old Man" cactus....see....it has a beard!!! :)
