We've had the most fun times growing up together and our little world just has not been the same since Lora moved to Tucson. So, Jeff graciously allowed for a "girls" weekend and he stayed home this January while Heather and I made the trek down to AZ for Lora's birthday.
We enjoyed looking at the native wild life,
we enjoyed the scenery and went for a hike,
We took off our shoes to cross the stream the first time.
The second time we used rocks to cross.
The third time we unsuccessfully tried to jump (I wish there was video of this). Needless to say, after this we walked through the stream with our shoes on.
"Octopus" Cactus
we were dorks . . . as usual.
I took pictures.
But most of all - we had a great time! I love these two "girls." I don't know what I would do without them. I can't wait for our next little adventure.
BONUS! Heather and I got to stop in Mesa and see our friends Melanie and Emily Cox who we haven't seen in YEARS! Basically, they are the cutest ladies in the world with equally cute kids. All in all, it was a great weekend!

Your pictures are beautiful. I do love the desert. And you saw coyotes?! Wow. It looks like it was a great weekend. Sometimes time with the "girls" is just what you need.
The wildlife we saw at a nature/wildlife preserve place. It was really amazing.
I wish we had stuff like that here. And no, The Springs Preserve doesn't count SNWA.
Amber, I just found your blog through Emily's. So fun to catch up with you! Steve and I lived in Tucson our first year and a half of marriage and your pictures bring back lots of memories. We miss it! :) Gotta love the javalinas! :)
