Arizona

We drove up Mt. Lemmon to Rose Canyon Lake. It was really pretty and not a cactus in sight. :) On the drive up there is a very clear dividing line, it must be the higher elevation, but all of a sudden there are no more cactii. There is a cactus forest that is hundreds, maybe thousands of saguaro. They almost look like people (or aliens)  marching down the mountain. But, anyway we hiked around the lake and it was so nice to be outside. I loved the smell of the pine trees. Jeremy picked me some wild flowers and had Andrew give them to me. It was so sweet. At the edge of the lake, I was sitting on a rock. He found a big log and brought it over and said, 'There's room for two.' These are small things, but I felt loved. We have been married for almost seven years. It was fun to feel like a couple sitting there looking out over the lake and watching the boys throw rocks in the water. We saw fish and even crawfish. Here they call them crawdads.  Jeremy jokingly told me I had to call them that now that we are in Arizona. I think I will always feel like a Texan.  Then we stopped on the way down and climbed on these huge rock formations. The boys loved it. I like the picture with Jeremy's shadow in it. I kept trying to take a picture with him and the boys, but he wouldn't let me. He says the shadow counts. :) Oh, and notice my bangs? I needed a change. :)
