The day after Christmas we headed to Tucson for the night. We wanted to see Richie and June as close to Christmas as we could. On they way there we kept passing cars with snow. Then when we came around the corner and this is what we saw! I love it when this mountain is covered in snow. It is always gorgeous without snow but with it is just AWESOME!! The kids always love to see snow. In Catalina just before Tucson we even got some snow flurries. It was so dang cold!! Glad I don't live in it:)
The next morning we woke up to some frost. Doesn't it look great on all the desert plants?!
Here are just some pics of the wildlife out back while we were just sitting and visiting. Matt's dad lives close to the mountains and gets some interesting wildlife in the backyard. I haven't ever seen anything to scary there except for the
tarantula that I almost stepped on once. Kristina was able to see a bobcat (it was either that or mountain lion) on the back patio once. They do have some amazing views there. I just love to hang out and check out the view.
We were watching Fred Claus when grandpa pulled this. In the movie they were trying to make sure all the kids got a present so they were making bats for boys and hula hoops for girls. Then Matt's dad snuck out and came to the window crying that he got a girl toy. The kids thought it was
hilarious! Silly grandpa. We also went to see Bedtime Stories with June. I thought it was a cute movie and the girls loved it. Matt, Sam, and Richie were supposed to go to the Sprint Car races but they were cancelled do to the weather. Better luck next time guys. It was a fun time there. Thanks for everything!
It was
obviously an exhausting trip. This was Sam on the way home!
Now I hope there is some time for rest before we go back to school and work!!
