Colossal Cave

It was a beautiful day in the Arizona desert.

Alice and Natalie, no way these two would miss a shirtless man!

Who knew kids would line up to go into a hole.



Oh great! Hide me Dad, it's the paparazzi!

The kids had a blast at Rooster Cogburn's Ostrich Ranch. That is until Katy got nipped by one of those rotten Ostriches. I think she was more shocked/scared than hurt (no marks).

Alice's favorite part of the ranch was the pen full o' asses. There was even a little baby ass! She was in ass heaven!

The Hanes girls are sooooo sweet the Lorikeets couldn't get enough of them.

Abby found one that would even snuggle with her (she wasn't even holding any food).

We drove out to Vail, AZ and got to spend a couple of days with our good friends, the Pedersons.

We really appreciate you guys letting us stay with you and taking the time to goof off with us. We had so much fun! Next time you guys are back in CA we'll try to find somethings to do that can hold a candle to the fun we had out your way.
